COPENHAGEN | by Freki

Time for some fresh pics.. and posible the last pics of the season as there sadly ain't no denying that the summer has gone and that winter is on it's way

But until winter we have fall and as some might remember I went out to the woods last year to capture the fall colours only to find everything pretty green and summer like..

So this year I waited a little longer until the trees I can see from my apartment have started turning and visited a city park instead

So without further ado, let's take a fall trip trough Frederiksberg Have - the IMO best park of the city


King Frederik XI chilling at the entrence..






Frederiksberg Castle from 1699 - now part of the Army's Officer School


The Military version of the Danish flag


One of the park's many bridges ( it's full of small canals )




Should you be heading south mate?




Frederiksberg Rådhus in the distance..


The elephant pen at Copenhagen Zoo ( it borders the park ) sadly the elephants were hiding indoor




The Zoo tower - apperently the place is celebrating it's 150th birthday..


Looking over the park from the castle


Looking towards downtown


Zoom zoom zoom..


Old ferry..












Carlsberg HQ in the distance










And the area I'll visit in the next part.. so stay tuned

Time for the final part from yesterday.. this time a brief visit to the District of Vesterbro and some Frederiksberg in the end..



Starting off at Vesterbrogade

While the worst winter in eons are raging outside I thought I'd bring a little summer and sunshine to the table...

So here's some pics from Vor Frelser Kirke in the Christianshavn District



Here we go..
































That's all folks..

Nice photos. Unfortunately 'Vor Frelser Kirke' was closed the entire time during my last visit, but it looks like it offers the best views over Copenhagen of any observatory in the city.

[FREKI]

^indeed it does and the narrow path spiraling around the outsideof the tower makes it a pretty interesting experience

But yeah sadly it was closed for renovation for 2 years I think ( opened up again last summer )

[FREKI]

Well.. 2010 is here ( and have been for a bit ) and I really don't have any excuse not to continue the thread...

So here's some fresh pics from Nørrebrogade running trough the Nørrebro District..


I know I've covered the spot before so nothing new, but I passed by and had the camera with me, so hey why not right




















And that's it - a slow start I know - but I got some pretty cool stuff planned so stay tuned

Hi guys - I know I've been really lazy this year, but that is about to change with the arrival of June and better weather


Visited Tuborg Havn today located in the norther part of the city ( Hellerup ) where the suburbs starts..
It's a nice mix of commercial buildings and residential ones and home to some of the most interesting architecture in the city..


It used to be home to Tuborg Brewery from where it still takes it name, but that have since moved elsewhere and after a period as a commercial habour where you could take the ferry to Sweden ( now replaced by a bridge ) it became what it is today...



































The old bottle is still around


















































Memorial for the sailors who doing WW2 helped Jews and Freedom fighters to Sweden
























































That's all from today.. I hope you liked it

Hi guys.. I had to work on an ungodly time today, so I decided to leave the car at home and walk to work and on the way I took a couple pics of a rarely seen part of Downtown that is quite frankly quite ugly!

But before that we start off in the Frederiksberg District, walk by the "lakes" and take a look around the eastern part of Downtown



As mentioned we start off in Frederiksberg








Here we are at the lakes that is part of the old defenses..


The Codan building


Scandic Hotel...


And here we are.. post WW2 ugliness for your viewing pleasure..
























Vesterport Station and a double decker RE train..




































And that's it for this time...

[FREKI]

Time for more pics...

Went out wednesday and took a lot of pics - I'll post them over the coming days in the usual way..

First part will be a walk from the southern part of Islands Brygge over the pedestrian bridge to Kalvebod Brygge and along that up to Langebro Bridge



Here we go..
































From the upper parking deck on top of Fisketorvet Shopping Mall..




Ørestaden slowly rising in the horizon.. ( will probable take some pics there later this summer )




Valby District and the Carlsberg HQ


Vesterbro District on the other side of the tracks..


Downtown


The new hotels ( Wake Up and Tivoli )


More Downtown


Kalvebod Brygge..






I'm no fan of the design, but in NIMBY-Land I welcome everything above 6 floors..




The SEB Bank building is FINALLY done.. well almost..




Marriott Hotel


I like it.. but 10 more floors would have made it much better ( and taken another 5 years at least.. )


Dan Hostel..


And the new "Krystallen" on the left


Let me know what you think... ( if nothing else then to help me get to the next page so this one doesn't get too picture heavy )

[FREKI]

Got a lot of pics, but this page is packed already, so I hope you like taxies, because I'm gonna post a few until we get to the next page
