Autumn is here

With Kulturnatten this Friday, it feels as if we are definitely into Autumn.

There are still a lot of tourists here but there is a marked change as outdoor tables at cafes and restaurants are packed away or blankets and heaters are brought out but, if you find a spot in the sun, then it’s still pleasant to sit outside for a morning coffee.

The leaves are beginning to change but it will be a week or perhaps more before the parks in the city and the forests out at Klampenborg and Charlottenlund take on their full Autumn colours.

For me, the light at this time of year shows the city at it’s best. There can often be clear bright, deep blue skies and, with the sun now lower in the sky, even in the middle of the day, the shadows are rich and heavy so architecture and sculpture around the city looks fantastic for photographs. Of course, evenings arrive earlier and earlier but in that transition from late afternoon to early evening the light over the water of the harbour and the lakes is amazing and even rain can mean striking dark grey skies.
