Copenhagen - my capital

up on numerous requests I am hereby starting a picture blog to share some of the photoes I've taken throughout trips and life in genral. The first post is gonna be a trubute to Copenhagen, the Capital of Denmark. This is only a small pert of this beautiful city and I hope to go back there soon to see more of it and to bring pictures back to share with you.

This first picture is of the city hall of CPH. it's not very pretty but it seems to be a good place to start.





Denmark has royalty, and it is only normal to show you all where they live...this is the Queens house. She lives here most of the year, but do spend her summers in Jylland and on a cruise around DK. It is called Amalienborg, and up to last year the crownprince and princess lived here too.





The castle contains 4 of these buildings. If the flag is up, the queen is home.


Here are some tourists getting the whole romantic tour


Just like in England the queen has her own army protecting her.



On a little sidestreet by the castle you will find this church. It is called the marble church, and yes you guessed it right, it's made out of marble. I don't know the history of it but this picture doesn't do it justice at all, and if you're ever in Copenhagen, this is one of those things you can NOT miss.





Moving on to the lighter side of things. This next picture is of the little mermaide. She is very tiny but that doesn't stop her from having visitors from all around the world.


..and this is the guy who made her famous...our own Hans Christian Andersen. Author of the little mermaide and many other beautiful fairytales and poetry.



The ugly duckling is another one of his more famous fairytales.


Moving on to buildings I think are totally awsome.

First off, the danish trade building
From afar it doesn't look too speical



but how cool is the spire??


This is Rosenborg Castle. This is where the crownjewels are kept. It is amazingly beautiful. I am sorry for the bad picture but we were driving.


Thie royal theatre, also driving, sorry guys


Supreme court


A memorial to people lost at sea durring WW2



One of the older preserved streets in CPH. A danish tv series was filmed here making it very popular to danish tourists.




I'm gonna end this photojourney with a picture of the bridge that brings me back home. When it was built it was the 2nd. longest hanging bridge in the world. Only passed by a bridge openening a month earlier in Asia.



I hope you enjoyed your trip to Copenhagen, Denmark with me.
