The Black Diamond

Though I know that whoever is reading this is more than likely and observant enough bean to notice that I've changed the picture in the heading of this blog from some random skyline from google images, just for the heck of it I thought I'd give it a little context. This big beautiful hunk of modern design, nicknamed the "Black Diamond," is in fact the Royal Library of Copenhagen. I took the photo on the DIS boat tour, which is fortunate because the unique reflection of the old mills and breweries across from the library can really only be captured if you happen to be sitting in the middle of the canal. The area across from the library, in fact, looks like a slightly larger, spiffed up, and busier version of the view of Lewiston/Auburn along the Androscoggin. (If you're unfamiliar with my interest in Lewiston, here is some visual evidence.)

Tomorrow I leave for a three day study tour of western Denmark. My only expectation is to have my mind blown.
