CSC Copenhagen Classic

The pros and semi-pros of the Danish cycling elite were having a race around the Parliament today. The later winner is in third position here.

Autumn colours

Went for a walk in Dyrehaven today. It is clear that fall is coming soon. The colours of the leaves are changing.

Morning mist

Today is a beautiful day in Copenhagen. One of those days with a fresh autunm air combined with af last chance 'summery' feeling. Walking through Kongens Have (Kings Garden) this morning was a pleasure.

Skyline

The skyline in Copenhagen is actually not that impressing compared to that of for example New York. But I think it is very unique anyway. This is the view from the Wheel of Copenhagen. It is Tivoli with the roller coaster and Øresundsbroen in the background - the bridge to Sweden.

The working people

Men at work at night. It's noisy but it's probably needed.

Wheel of Copenhagen

For three months a big temporary ferris wheel is in Copenhagen for the pleasure of tourist and Copenhageners.

Elsk!

A sign saying Elsk! (make love!) Good idea.

Iranian election

People were demonstrating yesterday against the political hostages in Tehran.

Farmers Market

Today I went to a farmers market at Nørrebro. I had great expectations, and was hoping for something similar to the Veg Out Farmers Market in St Kilda (Melbourne). Check out this photo as well.

But I have to admit that this farmers market wasn't as cosy as the one in St Kilda. I think the photo shows quite well. Actually, there was nothing more than what you can see on the photo. But anyway, I am glad I went and I appreciate those people volunteering.

Stagecoach for rent

Here you can rent a good old stagecoach. Is that the correct English word for a horsedriven taxi? Even though they advertise it, I doubt that they actually have any of those vehicles available.

Small alley

This is Lille Farimagsgade. It is a small (and maybe a little bit secret) dead end alley. It is nice with its cobblestones.

My big blue bag

Someone seems to be carrying their laundry in a big blue bag... as well as an IKEA bag. Funny how you encounter IKEA bags in almost any country in the world - and often used for laundry.

Adelgade

We have had Adelgade on this blog before.

Church yard alley

The alley throug Holmens Kirkegaard (Holmen's Church Yard).

Blind angles

These signs have recently been painted in many large junctions in Copenhagen. Large trucks and vans (as well as everyone else) are reminded to check their blind angles before making a right turn. It says 'Watch out for blind angles'. Suddenly a cyclist may show up.

67

67 is not the registration number.

Bicycles

A typical view in Copenhagen.

Outdoor theatre

Someone was performing outdoor theatre today in Kongens Have (Kings Garden). I don't know who they are or what they are performing, but it looks quite nice.

Arcade

There are different kinds of arcades. This is one of the more modern versions compared to this one from out side Marmorkirken (Marble Church).

Metro post

These large posts are towering outside every Metro station in the city - not that there are so many of them. There is only two lines and most of the stops on those two lines are the same. But at least there is a Metro, and it will be expanded over the next couple of decades.
