Golden Hour at the Compound
I live in a concrete residence on the outskirts of Aarhus along with 1,000 other international students, young families, and Danish students. We've started referring to it as The Compound.
When we arrived in January, the grey concrete of the residence buildings and white, snow-covered lawns blended with the white-grey of the Danish sky. Suddenly, Shakespeare's description of Hamlet's homeland became all too real.
As the seasons have changed, however, patches of green and glimpses of blue sky have pushed me outside to capture Denmark's version of the transformation. Golden hour - that time of late afternoon/early evening when the sun's angle makes everything glow - lasts a long time in this Nordic country. For that, I and my camera lens, are thankful.
