Copenhagen, Denmark
21 October 2010
Yes, autumn has arrived in Denmark. The day was sunny but it was only in the high 40's. I was a bit chilly, but enjoyed exploring this cool city.
I didn't have to look too hard for my "guy on a horse."
I didn't have to look too hard for my "guy on a horse." I think I counted a total of 4 other statues around the city.
City Hall.
The Royal Arsenal.
They had this medevil festival going on today with live music, people in costumes, and local music.
More cannons at the Royal Arsenal.
This is the Royal Garden at Rosenborg Castle. I didn't take a picture of the castle because it was ugly. It is under renovations and covered with a tarp...not worth seeing. But the garden was lovely. Similar to Hyde Park and Central Park. It appears all cities have a big park like this.
This is Christiansborg Palace.
This is a guard hut at the palace. I didn't see any guards, so I climbed in for a photo. Don't think that was kosher, as I saw a sign in another hut that read, "Do Not Enter." Oh well, I didn't get caught and dragged off to some Danish prison, so all is good.
Beautiful doorway (this door is about 15 feet high) in the palace that opens onto a courtyard pictured below with another "guy on a horse."
The gateway to the palace.
A canal runs through and around the city. On a pier on the canal were these
cool sculptures.
Stained glass house. (No stone throwing please.)
And some wild, modern art job.
This is St. Alban's church. It was just so beautiful how it was pertched ontop this grassy knoll in the middle of the city.
Beautifully colorful shops along the canal throughout the city.
Just a picture I caputred as I walked down a street of shops. Flowers everywhere and more bikes in this city than I noticed in any other city I visited this summer.
Not only tons of bikes, but sculptures like this one, on every street corner.
Manhole cover. Debbie suggested that I capture the image of the manwhole covers in all the cities I visit. I started in Stockholm because I thought it was so cool and detailed for a manhole cover, so here it is. Not as cool as Stockholm's, but neat idea. (Thanks Debbie.)
I heart CPH (which is actually the airpot/airline code for Copenhagen)
I had a great time here today. Although it was very chilly, I really enjoyed myself. There were so many other pictures to take, but my battery on my iphone went dead.
So I came back to the hotel and ate kippers and cheese.
