Copenhagen boy and his dog

I took today’s photo while on a bike ride from the beach (Amager Strand) back into central Copenhagen. I tried looking on Google maps to figure out the name of the church in the background but couldn’t find it. I think I was on Amager Strandvej (although it’s possible I was on Amagerbrogade or something else in that vicinity). Anyone know the name of the church? Of course, it may not be used as a church anymore since this is Denmark. It could be a museum or restaurant or something else at this point in Danish history.

Faux-beach in Copenhagen

During the Copenhagen Jazz Festival last summer, a beach was created at this location so that you could soak up the sun while listening to jazz. The black stage on the left is where the performances took place.

Across the water on the island of Holmen you can see the Copenhagen Opera House.

Rosenborg Castle Knight’s Hall

Most of the time, if you walk into Rosenborg Slot‘s Knight’s Hall it is swarming with tourists. However, I got lucky as it was completely empty. What a feeling it was to be in such a room all by myself. The king and queen’s thrones can be seen at the far end. I’ll post close-up photos of them at some point.

Copenhagen’s Stock Exchange Spire and The Balancing Act

The Danish sculptor, Jens Galschiøt, has created a number of balancing works of art that can be found in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Oslo.

In the background of today’s photo you can see the spire on Copenhagen’s Old Stock Exchange building (Børsen) featuring four dragons with their tails twisting towards the top and ending in a spear with three crowns representing The Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Despite numerous fires that have wiped out much of Copenhagen over the years, this is still the original from 1640.
