Trees and Beauty

So I've been getting into aesthetics lately. Denmark seems like an appropriate enough place to begin and artsy phase. They're all about beauty here. The buildings, the women, the clothes, everything around me is deliberate and captivating. The weed here's great too, and cheap, which makes it that much easier to take time to stare and appreciate my surroundings.

Case in point: Copenhagen's southern suburbs. Many of the residential buildings in town are built in striking geometric shapes that make any photo of them look like a work of modern art. My great grampa would have probably shat at the sight of these houses and apartments that would have maybe seemed natural in Metropolis.

I went out at night today to take some pictures of the buildings. Many of the buildings are made of vibrant colors that grab my eye even while I flash past them on the train. I had some trouble getting good pictures since it was black outside and hella foggy. My dicking around with the light settings on the camera probably didn't help either.

Shit, wouldn't you want to live in a place that cool? You can't see it very well from here, but it looks like each condo is 2 floors. Also not visible, but super cool, is the lame looking section on the bottom right of the building. During the day you can see it's a mountain range created by perforating the metal that covers the parking area.

I went around to the campus of Copenhagen University where I'll be studying. There's few cool buildings, but I was more interested in getting a closer look at the graffiti I've seen there. The university is tearing down part of the Humanities campus and rebuilding it. The demolition site is fenced in by a long wall of plywood that has been completely covered in artful spray paint designs. I liked this one in particular because stylized fonts can only entertain me for so long:

The dog is smoking a cigarette! Do you see that? Oh my God! The were maybe a hundred more sections that appeared to be from all different artists. There also were a couple art installations in the same area of the campus. I guess I can upload one for your viewing pleasure...

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay satisfied spending time standing around appreciating stuff. I think some partying is in order, but I'll wait until Thursday to see how that goes. I've heard of a bar called the Hornsleth (pronounced "horn slut") that has a sex theme. I've walked past it once and wondered whether the logo was an illustration of a vagina. It is.
