It is winter time. When the temperature gets really low, the waters of the rivers and lakes freeze. It is no different for the lakes near our apartment. It is now January and the temperatures hover around zero degrees. The lakes are more or less almost frozen perhaps except for small portions where there is still water in liquid form.
Everytime I pass by the lakes, I love to observe the little fairies frolicking on the ice and in the parts of the lake where there is still water. The little fairies are the little birds, swans and ducks on the lake. THey live here. Everyday, there will be people who come to the lake for a stroll or simply to take in the peaceful and beautiful view. Some of them would definitely bring some bread to feed the fairies. Whenever such people come, the fairies would surround them and sing to the care-giver. For this means that they welcome the care in terms of food.
Imagine calm waters, skies covered with some grey clouds, cold winter wind, only a few people sitting by the lake reading a book or communicating with friends. Cars are streaming by at moderate speed. Cafes by the lake are serving their customers with hot drinks and probably some pastries in a room filled with warmth instead of the freezing cold.
I love this part of Copenhagen. It is peaceful. One can appreciate the beauty and meanwhile find peace within themselves. One can find the time to reflect and think about issues which they feel strongly about. One can find the space to think about life and its meaning.
It is sad that I will be leaving soon. Nevertheless, one thing for sure is that I will bring this piece of scenery with me in mind heart and mind.
