Spring!

Today - the last day of the winter - spring is officially here. Snowdrops blooming.

Piccolo

From time to time I go to this little Italien deli. Last time I posted a photo from there was back in May.

Politiken

Politiken is one the major Danish news papers. Today they settled a dispute about re-publishing of the Prophet Mohammed cartoons.

Light on a grey morning

On a grey and wet morning (the snow is melting fast) a warm and lightful place like this is much appreciated.

Brick wall

A brick wall. Not much to say about that - apart from that it looks a bit old.

Cold beer

There is nothing like an ice cold beer on an ice cold morning in the snow.

Back to work

People are back on their bikes and getting to work on a Monday morning and they dont care about the weather.

What is this?

What is this? Some sort of sign?

Circus

Circus is a hair dresser, where you can have a beer while getting a hair cut.

Morning coffee

Went for a coffee at Baresso the other morning.

No parking

'No parking of bikes' the sign says. You see these signs a lot of places, but fortunately people tend to ignore them. Why shouldn't we be able to park our bikes by the wall? Biking the city is easy - and parking the bike should be easy as well.

White garden

A walking path in Kongens Have (Kings Garden) covered by snow.

Digging up the town

These days you come across heaps of places in town that have digged up. Apparently they are redirecting some of the pipelines in order to make some space for the new Metro line.

Rein van Hauen

Rein Van Hauen bakery is one the best and most renowned ones in Copenhagen. They have some magnificent Kartoffelkager (Potato Cakes). These have nothing to with potatoes, though, apart from looking like that.

Botanical Garden

The greenhouse in the Botanical Garden with full lights on.

Golden car

A golden car cruising through the afternoon traffic.

Summer?

No, we haven't had a sudden change of weather. Still freezing temperatures and snow around. I just thought it was about time to dig out a shot from last summer. This is from Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square).

The black building in the background they actually started to tear down today, to make place for a new Metro station.

The Pillars of the Earth! #2

I have mentioned before that Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth is one of my favourite books. That's probably also why I tend to like these massive pillars outside the Court House in Copenhagen.

Ticket sales

People buying tickets for the movies.

Dagmarhus

Dagmar Teatret (The Dagmar Theatre) is a cinema in the city centre located in a building called Dagmarhus (Dagmar House). The building was Gestapo's headquarter in Denmark during World War II.

Still snow around

Yes - we still have snow.

Blind folded

Does anybody else sometimes think they are the only ones who can't see anything?

Heading home

People are heading home for the weekend.

Function rooms

When considering the sign, the functions rooms here are probably not so flashy.

Going to the park

I guess these people are going to the nearby park to play in the snow.

Raleigh

A Raleigh bike parked by the University.

O's

At O's you can get some really nice and greasy American style burgers. The breakfast there is pretty good as well - in particular the hash browns.
