I was killing time one lovely afternoon in Copenhagen this past summer when I stumbled upon this neighborhood for the first time. I think I will do more random exploring of neighborhoods in Copenhagen next summer.
Anyway, this neighborhood is featured in the recent movie, The Danish Girl. I’m not sure if this church (Sankt Pauls Kirke) makes an appearance in the film or not. I’ll post a photo or two of the buildings that are in the movie soon.
All things move in order in the city.
This happened about four months ago. In about seven months it will happen again.

Autumn Morning on Lake Sortedam by Christen Kobke (NY Carlsberg Glyptoteket)
As mentioned yesterday, today we are leaving Copenhagen. Our place, right next to Lake Sortedam, will be missed. I’d like to be close to the lakes again next time, but on a less busy street. I walked, or more often biked, along this lake nearly each of the past 36 days. Although it’s summer, many days looked as gloomy as this fall day in Kobke’s painting from nearly 200 years ago. On those sunny days, between storms, the lakes looked marvelous.
On the surface Copenhagen isn’t changing at all. But the new things do stand out and surprise me when I spend a month here every few years.
So far I’ve posted about 35 photos from this trip. After deleting hundreds of photos, I still have about 4,000 to go.
After five weeks in Copenhagen, I depart for London tomorrow. I’m sad to leave. Those were some fun weeks despite mediocre weather most of the time. Maybe I’ll be back next summer.
Today’s photo is of a new pedestrian and bike bridge in Copenhagen that links Nyhavn with Christianshavn. The bridge is a draw bridge and is nicknamed “the kissing bridge” for the way it connects back up. In the background is the Copenhagen Opera House. We rented a boat for a couple hours through friendships.dk from which I took this picture.
