Photographer’s Note
Une papagolfade danoise
When the weather was fine yesterday, I made a little cycle tour through some of the southern suburbs of Copenhagen, like Hvidovre, Rødovre and Brøndbyøster, which was still unknown area for me. It isn't the most exciting part of Copenhagen, but I found this very nice church in Hvidovre: a real Danish Papagolfade.
Hvidovre Kirke was built around the year 1150, it is one of Danmark's early Romanesque church and is made of limestone. In the following ages the church would be extented and in times of war also partly pulled down. In the late 17th century the church was extented with so-called Valbyskibet (Valby Nave) for the farmers from Valby, who no longer were welcome in the Vor Frue Kirke in Copenhagen. The tower itself tells us it dates back to 1790, but I could find anything more on this.
Hvidovre Kirke is the oldest building in the Hvidovre Municipality.
I took this picture at the end of the afternoon. Hope you like this little church!

Hello Lars,
on ne dirait pas que ce bâtiment est aussi vieux vu son état parfait.
J'aime comme les rouges se mêlent aux bleus dans cette superbe papagolfade exposée comme il se doit et cadrée peut-être un peu trop centrée.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Lars, An excellent composition with beautiful low angle light. The warm colors of the building and the cold colors of the environment are well contrasted each in this well taken picture.

Hi Lars
Wonderful framing and excellent color scheming. The shadow gives the perspective mood, especially onto the building.
Good composition, Lars.

Hey Lars. You know I've certainly got churches around me and I think it's time the US contributed a papagolfade! :) With that roof color I'm reminded of Spain. The refined and reserved architecture is most appealing. Excellent catch Lars.

Wow, Lars, what the colours! The combination of the bright red and dark green is very appealing. Also the composition is perfect. Well done.
Thanks,

Hej Lars,
It's dificult not to remember papagolf, when we see this kind of buildings. Again, I like this kind of sharing and see connections bettween members allways make me smile.
Although the building doesn't excite me much, the POV is very good and the shot very well taken against the beautiful colour of the sky. I like the shadows on the façades. Good note as usual.
TFS,
Hilsner,

Bonjour mon ami Lars,
En ouvrant la vignette, j'ai poussé un "ha ! Oh, oh" d'admiration et de contentement, de plus une papagolfade, cela ne se refuse pas, d'autant que cette église a beaucoup de charme.
L'architecture diffère peu de celle rencontrée en France, j'aime cet aspect soigné de l'ensemble et du cimetière qui enserre l'église (en France, les cimetières sont déplacés par manque de places).
Merci de cette délicate attention.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Lars,
Vooral de halfschaduw op de gevel van de kerktoren geeft een speciale sfeer aan deze foto. Ik zou haast zeggen een tevreden sfeer. Een geloofsgemeenschap die zich vredig nestelt in het Deense land.

Hi Lars - wonderful light and charming church, the warm tones are a complete change from the snow covered pictures of the past week.

Hej Lars
Jeg har lidt problemer med at oversætte det midterste ord i titlen så det må være en hyldest til et kendt TE medlem :-)
Du har fanget denne nydelige danske kirke i et fint aftenlys - Tak for det fine billede og din altid udførlige og informative note.

Mycket mjukt och behagligt ljus och varma färger från den låga solen Larsa. Kanonresultat!

Hoi Lars,
Ik zag een beetje de zelfde type kerk bij onze vriend Jeppe, weinig herkennings punten als kerk, maar wel goed genomen, en prachtig geplaats op de foto, goed verdeeld met takken en de groene bomen, deze vormen een frame.
Mooi gedaan opnieuw Lars.
Mooie dag gewenst,
John.

Hej Lars,
En harmonisk bild med underbart ljus. Det mörka hörnet med barrträd passar bra ihop med den klarblå himlen och den klart färgade kyrkan. Ett mycket gott arbete! Men vad är en papagolfade??
Ha det så fint!
Groet Chris

This is a real one, with a great light and dof.
Well composed and funny idea.

Hi Lars, what's with you all making such nice Papagolf pastiches in Denmark. Perfect colours, sharpness and crop on this one though. Truly one for the local tourist board - or the parish priest.

Hi Lars,
It is certainly the most appropriate time for this shot as the colours and the weather are most pleasant. I was attracted by the soft shadows that fall on the walls allowing us to feel and see the soft light. Excellent positioning and contrast!! All the best.

Hello Lars,
Good point of view on the architecture, which is blessed with warm light from a low December sun..!
Nicely composed image with good details...
I think church images need good notes more than many other images, this one is educational!
