Isabel’s graduation present from her dad was a ticket to see Madonna!  Here she is waiting to go inside…

it’s great to have friends visiting amsterdam for the first time, they give me an opportunity to see the city again with new eyes…I’ve ridden my bike by here every week for years but never found this shot before.

Just back from Copenhagen, another beautiful city I called home for a year another lifetime ago.  Unlike Amsterdam where I cherish the few inner city spaces where I can actually touch the earth with my fingers, Copenhagen seems to have figured out centuries ago that dense city living was made tolerable by declaring enormous areas of green for parks for it’s citizens to enjoy.
