In October, I left my job at Google to start a new role at The New York Times. I only had a week off in between jobs, but I wanted to make good use of it. Thus far, 2019 had taken me to Australia, Israel and Jerusalem, Japan, and Chile.  I was grateful for the privilege to be able to travel to these amazing countries, and glad to have the time off, but part of me just wanted to stay home.
And then, my better instincts kicked in. Instead of spending a week backpacking around a dozen cities in Asia or trekking through the wilderness in Central America, I decided to spend my entire week in Copenhagen. The goal was not to see everything, or maximize my time in northern Europe. (Many friends suggested visiting Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in one go.) Instead, my focus was on enjoyment, a relaxed pace, and recuperation that would clear the slate for my new job.
Copenhagen had a lot to offer that I was excited about. From architecture and design to history and art, the museums and cultural centers in Copenhagen were what drew me in most directly. I was also interested to experience firsthand the progressive civic design of the city; Copenhagen is famous for its bike lanes and walkability. So, after wrapping up things at Google and a day trip to Maryland for my cousin's wedding, I hopped on the train to JFK.
Copenhagen
My trip started with a flight through Amsterdam into Copenhagen. Getting into the city from the airport was a breeze, with a swipe of the Copenhagen Card I purchased online following recommendations from friends. The Copenhagen Card, grants tourists unlimited use of the public transportation and free passes to almost all museums and tourist destinations. It was more than worth the price for my six-day stay. Every single museum I visited was covered for free, as were other attractions like Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen's famous amusement park.
After dropping off my bags, I wandered off into the city to explore.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/bikes-vines.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Copenhagen flaunts a beautiful mix of the old world and the new. Here, bicycles and electric scooters lean against a stunning ivy-clad brick wall. The ivy has to be manicured, right?
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/dac-exterior.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/waterfront-architecture.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Copenhagen's riverfront is home to several beautiful pieces of modern architecture. I especially love the bold design of Blox (left), the building that houses the Danish Architecture Center.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/dac-exhibit.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The Danish Architecture Center had a brilliant photography exhibit of the work of Bjarke Ingels Group, the legendary Danish architecture firm. In New York, BIG is known for their work on 57 W 57th St. and 2 World Trade Center.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/ship-bridge.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Across the river, Cirkelbroen is a fantastic example of art in architecture. The ship-like appearance of this footbridge has no functional purpose other than delight and beauty.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/nyhavn-canal.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I didn't spend much time in the touristy Nyhavn canal, but I did love the view of these magnificent boats!
I spent much of the next few days visiting museums in Copenhagen. Across several visits, it was my first impression really stuck with me: density! From history to art and design, I found that many museums in Copenhagen offered an overwhelming number of pieces in a small space. While perhaps detracting from the interest or impact of any individual piece, the density of these collections led me to slow the pace at which I moved through the museum.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/national-museum-china.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The Danish National Museum's Chinese ceramic collection stood out.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/national-museum-winter-case.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/national-museum-african-art.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Left: Arctic garb and tools. Right: African art and artifacts.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-entry.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The first room of the Danish Museum of Art & Design held a lot of variety in one space.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-chair-hallway.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The Design Museum had an entire hallway full of chairs from Danish designers, and others.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-chair.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-chair-book.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I liked being able to both see real chairs and read about chair design in a nearby lounge.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-kitchen.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I want all of these in my kitchen!
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-poster-primary.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/design-museum-poster-secondary.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This exhibit on Danish poster design was fantastic. I especially like Per Arnoldi's posters for Lincoln Center (left).
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/st-albans-church-sun.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
After visiting the Design Museum, I walked a few blocks to St Albans Church.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/st-albans-church-water.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The church is especially beautiful from across the moat of the Kastellet.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-park.jpg" class="with-viewer"%}
Headed to the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), I walked through Østre Anlæg Park.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-head.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
A massive head occupies the center of the SMK's central hall.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-abstract.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Zattere, Burano, San Michele by Richard Mortensen.

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-landscape-snow.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I love the drama of these landscape pieces, which range from 17th to 19th century. SMK had a great collection of Danish, French, other European art.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-from-bridge.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
SMK built an extension for modern and contemporary art. This massive space, with bridges connecting the second floors, is an indoor atrium between the old (left) and new (right) buildings.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-lanterns-above.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/statens-museum-lanterns-below.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I love this collection of Isamu Noguchi's lanterns, hanging in SMK's atrium.
I didn't come to Copenhagen for food specifically, but was pleased with what I found. From hotel breakfast to fine dining, bread and butter to waffles, donuts to smørrebrød, I wasn't disappointed.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/bread-butter.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/waffle.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Some of my favorite dishes throughout the trip.
As the week moved on, I found that the contrast between old and new in Copenhagen kept each day exciting. Art installations next to centuries old castles and museums meant that I had the freedom to curate my desired balance throughout the day.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/superkilen-waves.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Superkilen, a public park made in collaboration with Bjarke Ingels Group, was fun to walk through.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/superkilen-chess.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/superkilen-statue.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Apart from the famous "hump" pictured above, I also enjoyed the chess tables (left) and other sculptures (right).
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/rosenborg-throne-lion.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/rosenborg-throne.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Rosenborg Castle features an impressive throne room.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/rosenborg-ivory-ship.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This model ship, part of the Rosenborg Castle collection, is carved from ivory.

Left: "The Glass Room" in Rosenborg Castle. Right: A collection of model soldiers, for the young prince to play with.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/round-tower-ramp.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
In central Copenhagen, the Round Tower has a sloped spiral ramp that climbs several stories to an observation deck.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/round-tower-roof.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The view from the Round Tower let me capture the mix of old and new-world architecture in Copenhagen.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/church-savior-from-below.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
South, across Copenhagen Harbor sits the Church of Our Saviour. The top of its spiral tower was my destination.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/church-savior-spiral.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Sunset from the spiral.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/church-savior-river-view.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/church-savior-city-view.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I caught these beautiful shots of Copenhagen at golden hour.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/church-savior-straight-down.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I pointed my camera straight down to capture this photo from the top of Church of Our Saviour.
From the Church of Our Saviour, I took a bus to the cisterns in Søndermarken, an underground art venue (literally). Originally a working cistern but later put out of use, it has been transformed into an event space and art gallery. I arrived after the sun set and descended into the dark, subterranean space.  The floor was flooded, they said.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/cisterns-boots.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I changed into rain boots in a creepy, laboratory-esque changing room. Proceeding deeper into the cisterns, I explored the dark, flooded space.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/cisterns-color.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/cisterns-end-of-the-world.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
At the end of the exhibit, a blue-purple light shone bright from a final room. The neon sign, which read "IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD" brought the installation's message to the fore: Climate change is real, unstoppable, and will not end the world. Although it might end us.
Ishøj
After several days in Copenhagen, I decided to take a short trip west to Ishøj, a coastal town home to the ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst. Only 30 minutes by express train, Ishøj was incredibly easy to access. The museum, high on my list, was free to enter with the Copenhagen card, just like the train had been. While the collection was quite small, I found several works that I spent a long time with.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/ishøj/arken-museum.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The building's silhouette is expertly crafted. It sits on a marshland that reflects its shape.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/ishøj/arken-wooden-sculpture.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/ishøj/arken-gallery.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
ARKEN makes excellent use of light, both with outdoor pieces and indoor galleries.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/ishøj/arken-ai-weiwei.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
My favorite piece by far was the Circle of Animals by Ai Weiwei. These golden recreations of the twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac is a commentary on Chinese pride, repatriation, and reproductions. The craft on these works is stunning.
Humlebaek
When I first arrived in Copenhagen, the thing I wanted most was to take a train to Humlebaek for a day and visit the Louisiana Museum. In an effort to save the best for last, I waiting until Friday to make my trip north from Copenhagen. I'm glad I did. The Louisiana museum offered a beautifully architected grounds and museum as well as compelling exhibitions.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-entry.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The entry to the Louisiana Museum is very humble; domestic. It reflects the museum's roots as a suburban estate.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-greenhouse.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Inside, the Louisiana pulls out all the stops. I live for this glassed-in greenhouse / passageway.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-architectural-inspiration-green.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-architectural-inspiration-pink.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao is influenced by the traditional culture of her country. These displays showcase the objects that inspire her work.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-architectural-diagram.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
In a large diorama, Bilbao's work is displayed in a series of scale models.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-architecture-cinder-blocks.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-architecture-tiles.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
In an adjacent gallery, full-size installations curated by the architect capture three scenes: city, ruins, and domicile.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-gallery.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I love how the natural light enters the gallery though the stepped ceiling.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-gallery-painting.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
A beautiful painting by Asger Jorn.

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-lake-stairs-up.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The pathways around the lake were fun to explore.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-exhibit.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Marsden Hartley was on exhibit in a multi-level gallery.

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-hallway-outside.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The hallways connecting the galleries at Louisiana offered welcome respite from the stark exhibition spaces. I love the mid-century modern design of this hallway. The ceiling extends "beyond" the glass walls, creating a feeling of being outside.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/humlebaek/louisiana-richard-serra.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This Richard Serra piece, created for Louisiana, opens up onto a green lawn and the sea.
Returning to Copenhagen
After a fulfilling week and a full day in Humlebaek at the Louisiana Museum, I returned to Copenhagen for my last full day. Remaining on my list were the stragglers: visits I hadn't gotten around to during the week but had as backup options. Little did I know, my last day would be one of my favorites in Copenhagen.
My first stop was the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, an art museum in central Copenhagen. I arrived right before the museum opened, and without any bags to check, I was one of the first people into the building. My reward was some fantastic pictures of the exhibitions and atrium before they flooded with visitors.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-entry.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The Glyptotek fans out from a central atrium that is decorated with lush tropical plants.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-palm-above.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-palm.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Later in my visit, I got these photos of the atrium from other angles.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-hall.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This impressive hall is done in a Roman style.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-statues.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The Glyptotek has an extensive collection of Danish sculpture from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. As these sculptures are newer, they were also in much better condition than many pieces in this style.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-statues-away.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-statues-towards.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The curation of these sculpture galleries was fantastic. The range of characters and poses creates an impressive tableau.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-jesus.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I love how the layout of the sculptures draws your eye towards the statue of Jesus in the back.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-group-statue.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-man.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-man-with-sword.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Although the majority of Glyptotek's works are from Denmark, there were many pieces from other origins.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/glyptotek-stairs.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
I love the dramatic stairs leading to this cloaked figure made of marble.
My next stop was at the Thorvaldsens Museum. If I had even remotely done my homework, I would have known that Bertel Thorvaldsen, a Danish sculptor was one of the best working in Rome at the turn of the 19th century. I was about to see more amazing sculpture!
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-exterior.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The impressive facade of the Thorvaldsens Museum.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-rooms.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Unlike many other museums in Copenhagen, which used a myriad of pieces to create a dense collage of artwork, the Thorvaldsens Museum has a series of small rooms that focus on a single large piece. Some smaller supporting pieces line the side walls.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-jason.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This sculpture of Jason with the lamb's skin is fantastic. This more modern work evokes much earlier work,
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-ares.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Ares and Cupid, gods of war and love.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-relief.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-helmet.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The curation of the museum encouraged me to notice details in the works, like this beautiful helmet.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/thorvaldsens-jesus.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The exception to the rule for curation was the final room of the museum, which has a very powerful portrayal of Jesus and the apostles.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/christiansborg-red.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
Neighboring the Thorvaldsens Museum was Christiansborg Palace, which was as decadent as 18th Century Europe gets.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/christiansborg-throne.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/christiansborg-library.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
When not sitting on her throne (left), the Queen will read books from her library (right).
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/christiansborg-hall.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
This main banquet hall is used for large receptions.

{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/tivoli-taj.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
My last stop of the night was at Tivoli Gardens, the permanent amusement park located smack in the center of downtown Copenhagen. While I was initially skeptical of a touristy attraction, admiring the lights was a great way to end the day.
{% include resimg.html src="travel/denmark/copenhagen/from-the-sky.jpg" class="with-viewer" %}
The next morning I was in the air, headed back home.

It was a lovely day, he weather was nice and warm. It was deep in the forest, away from the normal life that surrounds me. Upon the evening of primal insight I meditated deeper in the forest from where the celebrations where had. During the meditation I found focus difficult to find, yet there seemed a subtle sense of peace creeping up on me. I felt tonight was the perfect night for a taste of the sacrament. The meditation brought centeredness and calm that continued through most of the night. The company was great and my mind was clear. Tonight there was a taste of the sacred in the air, though it did not feel as deep as my last such journey. There were to be six others to share this sacrament with me.
Everyone took their portion of the sacrament at different times.It was at 11:00 that I ingested and shortly after that a change was perceived. But before I should continue with story, I should reflect the reason for the sacrament. It was taken as a toast to the living, to the dead to the moments in life that stand out, to moments that go beyond time. It was night for the celebration of spirit.
Now on to the experience. Early in the night I had gotten separated from my girlfriend, with no plans to meet up. Little would I know how much I of a quest this mishap would lead me to. The change of perception is small and it maintained its hold on me for short time, I felt the world a little different with a child like anticapation building.
The change slowly intensified to the point where I became overwhelmed, the feeling reached such great intensity that nausea developed. I normally never get nausea but I have never partaken in such a large portion of the sacrament. I wanted to sit and relax, I had waves of sleepy feelings develop. I felt so sleepy and dreamy that at times I wanted to lay on the ground, crawl up into a ball and sleep. As yet there was no insight, nothing to think about, only a warm fuzzy feeling surrounding my being. Smiling took little effort, I found myself smiling unnaturally so, it actually felt hilarious to smile.
I found myself at our basecamp in the vehicle that had brought us here. The area from which the music originated could still be heard from basecamp quite clearly. I lay inside our vehicle and felt exceptional, if only there was no nausea! I felt I deserved this rest. Life at home had been hard, but progress was wonderful. This was my chance to just let go. Then the insight began.
My close friends A,E,J and I walked to the area where the dancing and celebration was happening. There was a sense of depth and power in the music. A sense that something wonderful was at hand. Then the drums stopped, a deep hymn rung out and peace enveloped me. I knew why the stars a looked up at so with so much fascination. When life great we stretch upwards, we reach out into the stars when heaven is before us. I understand why we are so amazed by the stars, why we believe that mother archetype exists above the clouds. We were created from them and will be buried amongst them. My friend A shared this moment with me, it was a moment unlike any other. Then the music rang out once more, things were a little different now! The music was felt deep within me, I expressed it with every element of my being. The power it held was beyond comprehension.
We danced for what seemed like days, even years. There was no longer a concept of time. It had faded away just as the rest of reality had.
We all decided to walk another area with different music being played. The drums here where powerful, loud and the hymns sung where uplifting and hopeful. A and I danced and screamed for a long time. It was only one single moment where I realised that sometimes it is to let go, experience oblivion for that one moment, where absolulty nothing matters, nothing is important other than that feeling being felt at that moment, that feeling of oblivion. I felt the moment reach into the hearts of all those around me. Then I laughed as I realised the implications of continuing that moment beyond its context. Imagine if nothing mattered to anyone...
I talked to many friends and had lots of fun. It was an inebrating time, a time that will be forever remembered. Like o' so many other times.
At one point of the night I felt myself being eaten by bugs. I relaxed into the experienced and found that after they had eaten away what they required. A crystal shone from what my waste covered.
The night wore on and the experience continued to be wonderful! Only in the morning I felt that my brain had been through too much.
It would be a long time for me to partake in this sacrament.
Added Note:
I partook in the sacrament one more time and found the experience to be dark, but in an insightful way. This sacrament has little insight to bring for me anymore. I thank it for its services. I hope others will learn from it, but remember, when it is time to move on, do so or the sacrament will punish you for disrespecting it.
