Blonde on the Bridge

Spotted on Dronning Louise Bro.

Sometimes I don't notice a person I've captured until after I'm back at home, looking through the day's "catch".  And sometimes, just like here, I stare at the photo for some time, wondering who they are, what they're like.  The photos gives them something so powerful, I wonder if it was just that moment or angle.  To me she looks nonhuman.  Not human.  Her coat gives her a strange shape, her yellow scarf continues on from her blonde hair, framing her face as if she were an Egyptian ruler.  Egyptian beast.  I refrain from the term goddess because she looks fiercer than that.  But then, in the detail, I notice her hands.  Perhaps hiding in their sleeves to warm her fingers and not hiding out of self-consciousness, but no matter the reason it shows a weakness.  Her stride and face holds power, though the cold still chills her.  I cannot imagine her smiling.
