Twelve photos to round up my Project 2021: One photo from each month of the year. There is no special theme – just a selection of the photos I published during 2021 (or year 2 of CoVid, if you prefer).

Omicron was suddenly lurching everywhere as an unpleasant surprise. A third round of lock-downs. After nearly two years of this pandemic, Covid-19 is still not over.
November began as a reasonably normal month. Then the infection numbers started to increase dramatically, also among the vaccinated. (Although these cases were reported to be much less concerning). We made it through the month without another round of lockdowns, however
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.
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.
Return from vacation. Reopenings and the like. Late summer.
One week of work and three weeks of vacation. A dry summer month (remember summer showers?) with fewer international tourists than usual in Copenhagen.
The brightest month with the longest days. And, unfortunately, always one of the busiest months in the year.
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.
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.
