Cheers!


Tuborg! One of the two big Danish beer brands (the other one is Carlsberg -who happens to own Tuborg). This big bottle sits on the old property of the brewery in Hellerup. It is actually a viewing tower. It was built in 1888 and was initially standing in Tivoli in the city centre.

Vegs in the rain


Øster Farimagsgade is one of the cool streets, where you find hip cafees and bars, organic shops... and then just normal veggie store as well.

Lakeside view


The Lakes in Copenhagen are artificial ones made as part of the defense of the city. This is the last one towards Østerbro.

The Pillars of the Earth!


One of my favourite books is Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth. These pillars are from Marmorkirken (Marble Church) in Frederikstaden in the Inner City

A hot dog in the airport


Copenhagen! I have lived and visited many cities around the world. London is amazing as is New York. Melbourne - with the lovely suburb of St Kilda where you can watch the penguins - is fantastic as well. New Orleans is rough but at the same time a place where you always want to return once you have been there - especially for Mardi Gras.

But Copenhagen is still one of my absolute favourites. Therefore I feel very priveliged that I am a citizen of it. From today I will share a photo of Copenhagen every day - or at least I will do my very best.

This photo is from Kastrup Airport. I took it when I arrived the other day after having spent a year abroad. One of the first things you see when travelling to Copenhagen is Steff's Place in the baggage claiming area. Make sure you buy a hot dog there...
