Project 2021: October

Two trips to the theatre – one to Århus, another to Copenhagen. The test run of the light rail system in Odense is delayed. The coffee machine at work broke down.

Odense: Disaster struck – The coffee machine at the office was out of order

Copenhagen: Ofelia Plads with a view to the Royal Opera

Odense: An American style house in Kongensgade (originally built 1906, later adapted to with a more European-style facade)

The first month of the term is always extremely busy for me. Hence the absence of interesting sights this month. The reconstruction of Odense’s town centre is slowly progressing towards its conclusion.

Project 2021: May

A cold and windy May and what felt like a very delayed spring, while concert venues, theatres and the like began to reopen. Still: The fair nights of the Northern summer are here.

Project 2021: April

From 18 degrees to snow and almost freezing temperatures in a couple of days: April is as unpredictable as always. Still, the unusually long alder pollen season slid seamlessly into the birch pollen season. The reopening of Danish society after three months of Covid-19 shut-down is just as slow and tentative as the arrival of spring.

Buddinge: Club 222 (after-school club for children)

Odense: On campus for the first time since January

Odense: Former building of the School of Social Work

Project 2021: March

Most shops reopened at the beginning of March after two and a half months of near-total lockdown. Following a burst of winter in February, spring is coming. Vaccines are delayed.

Odense: Østre Stationsvej. Catenary works for the light rail line are under way

Project 2021: February

With Denmark still in Covid lockdown and days filled with online classes and meetings, we had first snow and frost bringing some much-needed light and then a rapid change of weather. A major part of the lockdown is due to end on March 1, but most teaching is still online and museums, concert venues etc. are still closed.

Odense: Ramsherred with the Hans Christian Andersen House

Odense: Skt. Knuds (Odense Cathedral) in the winter sun

Odense: Kulturmaskinen with a view towards Vestergade
