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.
interior courtyard in Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is a series of seemingly never-ending five and six story apartment buildings. From the street you would never know that inside them all exist a courtyard or common area for the residents. Today’s photo is of the courtyard in my second apartment in Copenhagen (2011). There would typically be a family or two barbecuing in this location on most evenings.
Statue of Absalon – Copenhagen, Denmark
The tower in the distance to the right is from the Nikolaj Church, now an art museum and restaurant. The spire on the tower was donated by the founder of Carlsberg Brewery, Carl Jacobsen, in 1909. The “new” spire is identical to the original one, which was destroyed by fire, from the Renaissance period.
