The nicest thing about travelling is meeting people. So, this week I 
cheat a bit by presenting some images taken last week, and some the week 
before in Copenhagen.

On a Danish LUGger's recommendation, when I was in Copenhagen earlier 
this month, I paid a visit to a camera shop in a residential 
neighbourhood on the outskirts of the centre. The owner, Mr. J?rgen 
Lyb?ck, was a real pleasure to meet. He is staunchly on the analogue 
side of photography, although he does have a few token digital P&S 
cameras in the window. He has what is probably Scandinavia's largest 
Leica collection, with 125 various M cameras; and he has a real passion 
for what he does. It is always great to meet people like that. He looked 
approvingly at the 50mm Summilux I had on my 20D when I entered his 
shop, although I changed lenses for this environmental portrait of him:

The second portrait is of 4-year old Natalia, the daughter of my 
childhood friend in Copenhagen. We were in a Greek restaurant where 
children are given coloured pens and encouraged to draw on the 
disposable tablecloth:

As always when I am in Copenhagen, I went downtown to Nyhavn, the bar 
street along a canal. Here are a couple of women apparently engaged in a 
serious conversation over a beer:

and here are a couple of guys doing more or less the same, although they 
look a lot less serious, more like bums:

BTW, this picture shows why I like digital: it is shot at ISO 1600. I 
never got results like this with colour film of this speed.

And to round it off, three more of my cyclist pictures, taken last 
weekend in Utrecht. First, a pretty cyclist:

Then, a chubby cyclist:

and finally, an overloaded cyclist:
