Fall Break – Urban Copenhagen
During the first week of October, we traveled to Denmark to stay in a village about 30 miles north of Copenhagen over fall break. We spent a couple of the days going into the city to walk around, starting our jaunt, in one case, in an urban park known as Superkilen and meandering down to Rosenborg Slot. Here are some images from from that particular day in Copenhagen, with a few from the other day sprinkled in.
The “park” was not a typical “green area” as seen here in the Black Square portion of Superkilen park A towering cloud over a tagged, brick building in a random neighborhood on Nanasgade Being October, we did catch some colorful fall leaves like these vines climbing a building near Superkilen We walked on a thoughourfare, lined by tall rows of poplar trees, in Assistens Kirkegård A large tree in front of colorful apartment blocks in the Nørrebro neighborhood This church-turned-into-a-concert-house reminded me of the church in Reykjavik until I found out this structure was actually built before Hallgrimskirkja In the middle of a quiet neighborhood, we came upon a colorful and cool climbing wall Of course, when in Copenhagen, one spots bicycles. This bike sort of “matched” the portion of a the tagging on a run-down corner of a busy street This bike, randomly parked in Frederiksberg Centret, had a fun, animalistic paint job This bike was outfitted like a shaggy longhorn This bike, on a bridge near Christiansborg Palace, looks worse for wear Colorful buildings and cobblestones in Christianshavn Buildings fronting the water of Peblinge Sø The cylindrical Tycho Brahe Planetarium next to Sankt Jørgens Sø Red boats surround and obscure a message on the waterfront: Produktive medlemmer af samfundet near Christianshavn A tourist boat motors in front of the modern Skuespilhuset Ukrainian flags were raised around the spire of the Børsen (and were actually seen flying in many places around the city)View of Rosenborg Castle Looking at Rosenborg Castle from the manicured gardens Last look at Rosenborg Castle, this time with the addition of a sassy lion

My favourite subjects tend to be landscapes and nature - but I enjoy capturing urban scenes, architecture, abstract shapes and street art as well. View all posts by kewtiebird

What a wonderful set of photos. I love the way that you feature bright colors of the objects and buildings in so many of your images–even the graffiti seems pretty. I particularly enjoyed your shots of the quirky bicycles that you encountered–the one with the longhorns is really cool. It is obvious too that you pay a lot of attention to the framing and composition of your photos, using vertical shots effectively to highlight features like the poplar trees and the towers of a castle.
First Bohuslan and now Copenhagen! At least I get to see these cities and places that are so dear to my heart through your pictures. It has ben 6 years since I have been there – 5 years too long! Did you go inside Rosenborg? I found it utterly fascinating.
