Death Eaters Bridge

St. Paul's, City of London School, and the Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge was destroyed by Death Eaters at the beginning of one of the Harry Potter movies. It looked pretty good on the day I crossed it earlier this month. Ironically, the actor who played Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, went to the City of London School right next to this bridge.

Parading down The Mall

The Mall

A couple days ago we headed out early to catch the “Changing of the Guard” at Buckingham Palace. Turns out we weren’t nearly early enough for much of a view of anything. However, as things were breaking up at noon we happened to be crossing the street toward St. James’s Park when today’s scene unfolded before us.

New Inderhavnsbro bridge

Inderhavnsbro

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.
