Seeing København

Scandinavia is beautiful but a photographer in the north countries has to work fast when the sun shines and make do during the frequent overcasts. Grey skies can make for dark interiors with strangely bright windows, as you'll see in this gallery. Amid the challenges of shadow and highlight, Copenhagen continues to be visually stimulating and a seemingly endless ability to surprise and delight.

Magasin du NordThe flagship store of Magasin chain of department stores. The chain originally opened a shop here when this was the Hotel du Nord in 1870

Friederik's Kirke Interior of the Marble Church. The magnificent dome covers most of the pews, rather than just the altar

The Gefion fountain The Gefion fountain celebrates the creation of the Danish island of Zealand, which in myth was plowed from Sweden by the goddess, Gefion, clearly a badass. See the Prose Edda for more

Fountain at Amaliehaven Beyond the fountain in the Amaliehaven is an old pal from my last post

Copenhagen dragon In Copenhagen, these fellows are called dragons. They can be found on walls and in fountains spraying water from their elephant's trunks!

I can't believe there are such beautiful spaces! I don't think I can live to see all the things I want to see and all the beauties of the world. At least I'll see you around. Thank you for that footage!

Thanks for your comment, @deepak0007. I don't understand you about the rules. Can you say it in another way? If you write in your primary language, maybe I can translate it online.
