Copenhagen reflections....

It is a bright day in Copenhagen. That's when reflections are at their best! Either windows or water... when you start looking reflections are everywhere. To take the right pictures the angle is extremely important. The other thing is.... how to keep yourself out of the picture (you need long arms).

These windows are in the Nyhavn; the place to have lunch in Copenhagen. The difference is that the windows are on the shadow side and the restaurants and cafe's are on the sunny side of the harbor.

As the buildings of the Nyhavn have bright colors the reflections are very "happy".

These windows are in the inner city. Houses there often date back to Medieval times.

But the most brilliant reflections in Copenhagen you find at the "Black Diamond" The building that houses the Royal Library.It looks almost like a beach! People sunbathing in deckchairs.

Reflecting left and right, up and down and front to back .....

But to be completely upside down, you have to be in Tivoli. No I don't dare to go into these machines where you go spiraling or hanging upside down.... Or I think even worse, experience a free fall.

Yes they have amazing modern buildings in Copenhagen (like the "Black Diamond"). This facade with different windows does makes you think of Christiania. You see what I mean by right angle....  (Well I tried...)

And then this building. The offices of Maersk, the largest container shipping company of the world. Rigid rows of windows, reflecting the blue skies. It sure is different.... but a bit to much of the "Brave New World" (Aldous Huxley) feeling for me.

Although this picture of a Royal scenery was taken at the Opera, a huge building on the waterfront across from the Amalienborg Palace. This Opera was a gift from Maersk to the Danish people.

I know; there is so much more to tell more about Copenhagen.... But first lets have a beer (yes of course: Carlsberg!!) in the sun looking at the reflections in the Nyhavn.
