RANDOM DENMARK POST-Arhus

i think this was in arhus. i think benedicte had stopped in to see her publisher or something. and there was a park right by the parking lot. i got out of the car and sat on the wall. taking pictures. not many as it wasn't that pretty, but then this youngish guy walked up. was i taking pictures of him? no, taking pictures of the park. drug dealer. a very polite drug dealer. you can see the top of his head. shame i didn't get his face. of course did not offer to sell me any drugs. nobody ever offered to sell me drugs. not sure if i look square. already on drugs, or just don't look like i am looking for drugs. strange. i have never been flashed either. and i took several trips on the NYC subways. not that i want to experience a flash.

RANDOM ACCIDENT POST-pictures!

well, not much of the light post remains. exposed wires. i could not find and tire marks, so the braking squealing tires left no mark. so still no fucking idea where the car was headed when it hit the pole. pile of concrete bits. a few pieces of car. not much glass. lots of sweeping. did see singe marks from the engine i think. i smelled burning rubber last night. probably belts and such. that newer car was totaled.

RANDOM OOOH POST

i getting ready to scan in a diff pic of the injun and SCREECH. BAM! CRASH GLASS CRUNCH. hmm, used to lots of screeches here. but it was an odd sequence of noises. know it's an accident. run to front door. but it was dark, what? go out on stoop. OH, a car hit the light post and CREAMED it. some stopped cars were witnessnesses or something. it was dark without the lights. later FINALLY FFs show up and cops. there was an occupant. still can't figure out how the car got where it was. the DPW showed up too, probably has to deal with the wires and such. NOW, HOW do i get the street signs! course the DPW will take it. sigh.
the occupant was taken away on a stretcher. i don't think they were too bad, or maybe they were. maybe in the paper tomorrow, BUT tomorrow there shall be pics!

i think this was my 2nd native american 'portrait'. her picture is on an old book my grandmother had on chippewas. my uncle gave it to her. in the book, which i still have somewhere, it doesn't give her name, but i use annishinabe, which if i remember right means human or people or something like that my other choice of titles was assinboin. an alternative name for the tribe. maybe if i get that dna test, we can find out what tribe we are. not the best pic, but she's in denmark right now. gotta get her back. her and pissed cosmo 2. the horse can stay. i tried to paint my roadkill large in oils.it didn't have the same 'special'ness. maybe if i was more free? although i did like how that horse came out. hmm, i suppose i will have to find a pic of that horse. put it next to my favorite horse. i've done 3. she is the only one with a vertical background split. maybe if i do another woman, i will stick to that.

i think i may look and see if i have a better pic.

RANDOM DENMARK POST

since my last pic was from copenhagen, i figure i should try to keep it semi chronological. before we took the ferry to arhus to ebeltoft, benedicte took me touristing to the glyptotek. a 'sculpture' museum in copenhagen. i won't post pics i took inside. but the building itself was quite attractive. and the top of benedicte's blonde head is at the bottom left, by the lion.
also a pic of a copenhagen door i saw on way to the glyptotek. i have more door pictures than people pictures.

RANDOM DECAMERON POST

found something blogable while rereading the decameron before i ebay it. nice 1930 edition with B/W AND color illustrations. but i have 2 other copies of the decameron and i like those illustrations better.anyways....

4th day, 2nd tale-

They say commonly in proverbial style: A wicked man who is thought to be good can do evil and yet not have it believed.

i think that can be said of falwell and georgie. and the fools who doth believe in their goodness.

RANDOM DENMARK BLOGGING

i came into copenhagen around noonish. kinda wet. first benedicte took me to the main square which was huge. had the government building and this bizarre sculpture. i took pictures, shit, a peruvian music band? do all the peruvian music bands go to other countries? several art shows in WI had them as music entertainment.
she, her daughter and i then had lunch in this restaurant. much differillent than here, she ordered a whole pork roast we shared. very good and had these amazingly sweet little onions. almost like candy.
i guess i will do the denmark stuff before trees and such. i guess i will have to do the door and the glyptotek next.

RANDOM DENMARK POST

playing with my scanner and scanned the best pics of my 1998 trip to denmark. benedicte had paid to come over and be a visiting artist at her tante andante hus. sort of a hodge podge lodge to entertain kids in eagle river, if there was such a thing. EAGLE RIVER! (hot shots! 1 and part duex reference)
anyways, one day she went to Arhus, Denmark, the biggest city in the area. and i went along and walked around the old section of the town. i had my denmark tourist book, so i found this 1500's cathedral. found some exterior crypts. stones from previous buildings. RECYCLING! this is a collage of best pics of the cathedral. i found the cobblestones ok to walk on barefoot, but it was easy to stub toes near crevices between them. shame they don't have trees there. but then in the old days, fires were hazards. i do think i read in the 1903 F EB that it did have 1 or 2 massive fires.
