Subject: [Leica] PAW 8 (Nathan): art in Copenhagen

The main shopping street in Copenhagen is called Strøget. It is the main
artery of a network of pedestrian streets in the center of the city.
Just recently, some very interesting statues have been put up on the
street, and people cannot help staring at them. Some hate them, others
like them, but nobody seems to be neutral:

North of Copenhagen is a place called Louisiana. It is one of those rare
art museums that is supported entirely by private funds, and it is one
of the foremost show places for modern visual art in Scandinavia. I
always find something interesting there when I go, and in the past I
have seen the (in)famous Mapplethorpe exhibit, Cartier-Bresson's "The
Europeans", the big Magnum show and many other major exhibits there.
This time I went to see a Georgia O'Keefe retrospective, but this
particular room is part of the permanent collection:

The museum is in a beautiful park near the beach north of the city and
is highly recommended for a day trip when visiting Copenhagen.

Both pictures taken with the M3 and 50mm (main) / 35mm (alternate)
Summiluxes, on Ilford SFX accidentally overexposed by two stops--I tried
to tone down the resulting grain in the scanning process, but with only
limited success. Nevertheless, I obviously like the shots, otherwise I
would not have posted them...

The main PAW index is at:

and comments and critique are welcome and appreciated as always.
