Copenhagen Part 1

In Copenhagen we saw many fine things, and from there we went on to Roskilde (the base for the Vikings) and Helsingor (or Elsinore) the supposed home of Hamlet. What with the image problems blogger seems to be having I'll see what I can do...

The castle is more of a barracks area, built into a well-fortified castellation. You see more of the same in Elsinore...



Just around the corner from the Little Mermaid is this piece, which I found more impressive and moving. The use of cannons is effective


A much finer fountain (IMHO) of a goddess who turned her sons into bulls so she could plough Sweden. She was given some land in thanks and dropped it into the sea, forming Zealand.


Please also accept another war memorial and some strange yellow houses.
