Now I cannot decide whether I like this or not but Mentor&Muse really does and sometimes one has to bow to the inevitable. I suppose it was all too easy; no mountain to be climbed, no bent double to catch an odd angle, no eagle eyed observation of a photo opportunity missed by others. Not even a miracle of nature … well only partly. It was taken at Christmas time in the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. And for whatever reason, the Danes and their normal Scandinavian ideals of simple, bold design, clean lines and fundamental materials are all thrown out of the window at this time of year and their Christmas markets sell as much gaudy, tasteless crap as anyone else. It’s quite heartening really. And in the middle of the Tivoli gardens, surrounded  by the Christmas market, there is an ornamental lake with an illuminated pirate ship; like I said, as gaudy and tasteless as you can get … and fun. This is the reflection of part of it in the lake. Christmas … y o ho ho and bah humbug.
