Copenhagen Canals and Streets
Copenhagen Opera House (Operaen) from across the harbor
København Shades and Hues
Denmark's capital city is undeniably attractive. I walked, enjoying the easy blend of wet and dry, historic and modern, drab and brightly-colored. Danish style is effortless, easily bridging hundreds of years of architecture in a few city blocks. Even the cutting-edge, neo-futurist opera house is not out of place in a city known for Hans Christian Andersen's postcard house in Nyhavn and the 376 year-old Round Tower.
Today's is an easy stroll, safe and sound in the touristic center of Copenhagen.
A ferry passes the Danish Architecture Centre. Note the modern glass structure on the outer wall . . .
It's a cafe with an excellent view! Lunch in a terrarium?
The New Harbor (Nyhavn) includes this iconic 17th century canal with colorful buildings
Yes, Hans Christian Andersen actually lived here in the 19th century
Copenhagen love locks. Lovers hang symbolic padlocks on bridges here and in various cities in Europe
Copenhagen's bike lanes are wide and often separated from traffic. Stark architectural juxtapositions are everywhere
A very expensive sailboat and an even more expensive building
Another Copenhagen icon attracting cameras like flies

I was traveling light. These images were taken with a small Samsung point-and-shoot camera or a smartphone!
Thank you!

Lovely old world atmosphere to these images. I'm fond of that spire formed by the dragon's tails, that's really cool! How convenient that their bike lanes are actually viable, unlike the cramped or nonexistent ones we have in the U.S.
Again I am reminded how badly I want to visit Europe, having never been. It piques my imagination thinking how interesting it is that so many different cultures are so close together (compared to the vast expanse of America all speaking the same language)
Thanks, @d-pend. I like that the Danes raised spires and towers in the 17th century to commerce and science as well as to religion. I'll post more on the bike culture of Copenhagen soon. They are a so far ahead in so many ways but few wear helmets.
It is amazing to visit adjacent ancient cultures that are now so close via modern transportation and communication. The Scandinavian countries each have their own very similar but separate languages while sharing rail systems and an airline.

lovely city,
Very much, so.
Hola @nkraft!!! De nuevo por acá!! Como siempre, es una bendición poder ver, lo que veías en ese momento. Sabes que te sigo desde hace bastante tiempo y literalmente, es imposible aburrirse con tus posts y con las imágenes tan espectaculares. Aún recuerdo la imagen de una sirena que capturaste con tu lente jajaja... No me queda más que desearte como siempre lo mejor y que sigan lloviendo imágenes increíbles desde tu blog. Un abrazo enorme desde este rincón de América del Sur. Saludos desde Caracas.
Hola @sabreu! Tus amables palabras me dan energia para más fotografia! Es un placer tenerte conmigo en el viaje. Habrá más sirenas en el futuro, sin duda. Gracias mi amigo. Un abrazo desde el sudoeste de los EEUU y el dinamarca de la mente.
Thanks for taking a few minutes of your time to reply. We´ll keep in touch ;)
I just realized that they had Red Bull Cliff Diving from the roof of that opera house! Now that must be a clean harbor.
nice. article..
Thank you, Sojol.
welcome. keep suporting and voting
Amazing pictures!
It is crazy how many cities in Europe have these 'love locks'. I didn't know you could find them in Copenhagen too.
The opera house looks rather strange compared to the rest of the city doesn't it.
Thanks, Neil! I saw those locks being cut off a bridge somewhere, maybe Budapest. Love's locks lost? In that case, they were covering everything. Despite looking like a landed alien craft, that opera house felt Danish when seeing it in person. It helped that it was not immediately next to a 300 year-old building.
Bhut sunder pic hai sir i Hope u r understand Sir love u
