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.

Bring your bike

An outdoor ashtray used for advertising. Now you can bring your bike on the train for free when you have been out partying.

By the way - Google Street View has been launched in Denmark. So now you can take a walk through this lovely city without even being here. A good - and funny - place to begin you walk could be here - at Vestergade 12 in the city, where the camera has cauhgt a poor guy crashing on his bike.

Cold morning

On the bike on a cold morning.

Decorated van

Someone decorated this van. Let's hope it is the owner who did.

Chatting at Lé Lé

Friends chatting at Lé Lé - a restaurant with a nice combination of Danish and Vietnamese couisine.

Christmas in Tivoli

The lights in Tivoli are very cosy at this time of the year. The christmas exhibitions in old garden are considered to be one of the most romantic places in Copenhagen.

Save the planet

A massive inflatable globe is floating around at the City Hall Square these days. Also one of the COP15 events. I looks pretty cool I think. I like it.

Empty pier

An empty pier at Kalvebod Brygge.

Brick wall

A brick wall... not much to say about that.

Elephants

These elephants are part of the decoration of Carlsberg Breweries. They are national heritage. Note the swastika sitting on the side of them. Carlsberg actually used this as one of their trademarks until 1945, when it became too infected Nazi associations.

S-train

A piece of public transportation on the move.

Another brewery

Last week I posted a photo from Nørrebro Bryghus (Nørrebro Bryghus) - a small micro brewery. But we have other breweries around. This is Carlsberg and probably the most famous one.

Pain vs. quitting

'Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever'/ Lance Armstrong. Printed on the wall in DGI Byen.

I think he should know what he is talking about.

Counterfeit

The Custom Authorities were having a small 'stop cheating' event today at Rådhuspladsen (Town Hall Square). One of things they focused on was counterfeit products, i.e. fake products like this bag.

The Star Flyer

The Star Flyer in Tivoly has been introduced on this blog before. Even at night people throw themselves into the unknown pleasures of the worlds tallest carousel.
