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. :-)

Canal, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007
In addition to bikes and trains, Copenhagen also has a canal, and it's mostly used by small boats, which are both private and passenger.

Alexander Nevski Church, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007
I'm posting this mostly because I find the architecture interesting, rather than because I have a knowledge of the building, which I don't.

Clock Tower, Kunsthallen Nikolaj, Picture 3, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007
From what I can gather, this place, basically an art gallery, used to be a church, with the building dating to 1795.

Statue, Kastellet, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007
This relatively simple statue of a World War II soldier is just what it looks like, a World War II memorial. Nearby is the far-more-famous Little Mermaid, once decapitated by feminists for being hateful of women....because all portrayals of beautiful women are hateful to women....somehow.... In any case, I just found it boring so I didn't photograph it. Behind the World War I statue is the Kastellet, one of several castles and forts in Copenhagen. Built in 1626-1663 on the orders of Christian IV, the British first attacked it in 1801 (under the command of Lord Nelson), then briefly occupied it in 1807, both times in retaliation for the Danish government's support for Napoleon.
