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.
