Life is very busy at the moment – tying up the last threads on Growing Your Inner Light, doing some consulting, and getting ready to move house. I managed to at least get a short summer vacation: only four days, but they were wonderful, exploring Copenhagen with an old friend who lives there, seeing masses of art, always good for the soul and for retuning and refreshing the mind.

Copenhagen is a beautiful, calm and unpolluted city, and inspiring on many levels. Over 40% of all journeys are done on a bicycle, and you can rent them easily. Here are bikes people have parked at one of the main stations.

Danish culture has always highly valued art and design, and this attention shows in the quality of the aesthetics of all spaces and buildings, and in the wonderful museums in and around the city.

One of the exhibitions we saw (at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, half an hour out of the city by train) was on green architecture around the world. So inspiring — all over the planet people are doing the most amazingly creative things to make sustainable and eco-wise buildings and lifestyles.

To read more about the exhibition go to the museum web site, here If there’s any way you can get to see this exhibition, I highly recommend it.

Here’s an example from the exhibit, of pavement made with solar cells. As it is walked on light effects are generated, a kind of ongoing light-based art, and at the same time, it generates the electricity to power the street.
