30th day: THE UGLY DUCKLING…
sometimes it takes a while before we see true beauty. Often we judge too fast and superficial. That is what the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen is about, in which a swan’s egg accidentally gets into the nest of a duck. The swan chick is ugly and clumsy and is buffeted by all, until it turns after winter into a beautiful and proud swan.

28th day: EATING BIRDS
I was wondering if I would find any Street Art in Copenhagen where I’m going to be the next couple of days. Very close to the central station, I discovered this young girl, that reminds me of the sad tales of Hans Christian Andersen. She looks very melancholic and has a colorful bird in her mouth, over her shoulder hangs a thick braided plait. She seems to be from another time. Immediately I saw Gerda from the Snow Queen in front of me, who searches her beloved friend Kai, until she finally finds him and brings his iced heart to melt with her tears.
