It was nearly 3 a.m. when I took today’s photo. Less than a half hour before I was enjoying one of Ghost’s first major performances at the Roskilde Festival. Six or seven hours after this pic I was back on the train going in the opposite direction from Copenhagen (København) to Aarhus.

Today’s wallpaper comes from inside Rosenborg Castle. The more than 400-year old castle in Copenhagen, Denmark is pretty cool inside and out from any angle.
Carlsberg Brewery
One of the great things about Copenhagen is you can ride a bike anywhere. There are no hills, and the streets have great bike lanes. The downside is when you get caught in a rain storm. I took today’s photo at the Carlsberg Brewery (in Frederiksberg) while waiting for the rain to let up. It didn’t, and I eventually had to head out through the storm. I got drenched, but it was still a good day.
Moesgaard Museum – Stave Church – Århus, Denmark
One day, while sightseeing in Århus, Denmark, I rode the bus down to Højbjerg to check out the stave church. I knew what a stave church was supposed to look like from playing the “Age of Mythology” computer game so I was a bit disappointed to find this one which looked nothing like my expectations.
Stave church interior
None of the original Viking churches have survived in Denmark. This one is a reconstruction done in the 1990s. The bell tower next to the church was completed in 2004.
Troy Sanders and Bill Kelliher of Mastodon
My random, desktop image of the day (above) reminded me that the Monsters University movie (coming out in less than five months) should be great, if for no other reason than the fact that Mastodon recorded one of the songs for it.
