Last Monday I had a meeting in Copenhagen, so I flew up there Sunday and spent a pleasant afternoon and evening in the company of some friends, and walking around the city a bit. I started by visiting the Polish Jews' Club, of which my late father was an active member. They were having a pre-Rosh Hashana get-together, and I timed my arrival strategically so that I would miss the various speeches etc. but still get the falafel :-) I also snapped some pictures of the members. These people are mostly in their 80s or even 90s, and for many the club is their only social activity. They have lived a hard life, surviving the war and then Communism, and are now living out their remaining years in the comfort of Denmark. Here are a couple of animated conversations: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt1.jpg The weather was nice and warm, a rare event in Copenhagen in late September, so people were out and about in the city enjoying the sunshine. The following 3 images are from a street called Gammel Strand, which is one of my favourite streets in Copenhagen since it has a good photo gallery and bookshop and a dedicated beer shop with an incredible selection. http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt2.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt3.jpg http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt4.jpg Later, on the main pedestrian street Str?get, I saw this homeless guy's oversized pram and equally large companion: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt5.jpg And finally, on the way home Monday evening, this scene at Copenhagen airport: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_39alt6.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2005.html and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
