Russian cruiser Aurora

Aurora is a Russian protected cruiser, currently preserved as a museum ship in St. Petersburg. She became a symbol of the Communist Revolution in Russia. At 9.45 p.m. on 25 October 1917, a blank shot from her forecastle gun signalled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace, which was to be the last episode of the October Revolution.

Holme Ringvej 148 (under renovering) - DSC_2070_1_2_Balancer

Holme Ringvej 148, built 1917. In late 2013 began an extensive restoration and conversion of this building. The ground-floor restaurant/café was turned into an apartment, most of the building's interior walls torn down and an exterior, backside stairwell completely demolished. Windows, doors and roof all replaced. The project ran into severe delays, including the bankrupcy of one of the main companies involved. Due to all the problems, it ended up taking around two years to complete the transformation. View from the backyard, showing the scars after the demolished stairwell. From a registrant photowalk series made for the local historical society. The purpose of these walks is not to take photos of individual buildings, but rather to document the streets as a whole in order to preserve the views for future generations. Some houses will inevitably be obscured behind fences and hedges. In such cases, there will be a photo of the hedge or fence in question. The photo will, of course, be rubbish, but it will accurately show the best possible view from a public road. Over the years, fences and hedges will come and go (as will the houses), sometimes improving the views, other times, the opposite. I've made every attempt to blur visible names, faces and license plates, in order to respect people's privacy. Holme Ringvej 148, built 1917.
