Københavns Hovedbanegård Station, Copenhaven, Denmark, 2007

Copenhagen

I visited Copenhagen for the first time in July of 2007, and that was where this album started. I had a lot of problems on the trip, like one hotel refusing to honor my reservation and another overcharging me, with the nicest people being the hippies of Christiania, but overall it was a memorable trip. :-)

Here's the entrance to the Kastellet.

Having been built in the 1600s means that the Kastellet doesn't look like a castle, exactly, but more like a barracks or low-rent neighborhood. By that I don't mean to say that it's rundown, as it certainly isn't.

Many of the buildings in the Kastellet are just ordinary houses like these. The yellow one is the officers' quarters.

I like the composition of this shot more than anything. It doesn't have too much else in the way of significance.

This appeared to be offices, and when I arrived a soldier was actually about to go on his rounds of the Kastellet, although I didn't get his picture. It surprised me, actually, that this place is still manned, as it seems to possess no military purpose, and is a relatively minor tourist attraction.

Okay, so the trash can isn't too historic. I didn't notice that when I was taking this.

Some of the cannons are still in place on the parapet around the Kastellet. I can't tell which ones still work and which ones don't, but this one at least has a cap on the barrel.

Here's another one of the guns on the Kastellet.

The Kastellet has a moat fed by Copenhagen harbor, so once I found good place to shoot a photo from I got this. I really like the reflection and the stillness of the water on this one.
