Art on the streets of Mexico City

Took a long walk around Ciudad de Mexico today – along Paseo de la Reforma, there’s quite a lot of art to look at or even sit on:

Fun with Danish names

Here’s a map of Denmark showing how many with that name lives in each postal area code – the redder, the more:


DKM


…and the same map with my wife’s family name (yes, we kept our individual family names when we were married – long story):


DKH

My family name is a tad more common than hers ;)

Navnekort – if you’re Danish and want to have a go :) I got the link from Blogbogstaver

Moon over Mexico

“ A vast radiant beach / and a cool jewelled moon”


Not quite – but a rather reddish one it was.

Pictures were a little hard to take – long exposures and the window in front of the camera made it tricky. So Picasa has helped a little bit on them.

Unexpected horse racing

At the back of the Centro Banamex in Mexico City there’s a horse racing – what’s it called… arena?


When checking if the conference buses were around, they had the horses out – with numbers and jockeys on them So I got a few pictures – even if my camera acted up and didn’t want to properly burst a series off the starting gates:


On the way to the starting gates
On the way down to the starting gates in some sort of order

Let's hear it for CDG, terminal 2E

Normally, it is next to impossible to find a power outlet for charging your laptop in an airport. Irritating when you're on the move!

But here it is different!






These small stations are placed at both ends of every other chair row or so. Fab!
