Here is a few pictures from a new recreational area in Nørreport called Superkilen : The Super Wedge.

Wow's, that's a crazy playground design! Great pictures Arne

Man, I wish we could make playground good looking here too! Fantastic picture Arne, seems like a funny place to play for both younger and older.

No pictures of my own. Here is one I found that the Copenhagen By & Havn (City & Port) posted.

Its of the old city / city center. Click on the images to see it without my markings.

Zipped !


Bispebjerg Bakke.

So much exciting architecture in Copenhagen! It's a shame more of it isn't available in SC4. I'm jealous that your spring has come and also really liked the satelite photo. What did you mean by "old rampage" though?

[vester]

Sorry, remembered the english word wrong. It should be ramparts or you could use the word fortifications.


At Dronning Loises Bro / Queen Louises Bridge


Frederiksholm Kanal.


Skuespilhuset / The Royal Danish Playhouse

[jmyers2043]

Would not wish to ride a bicycle down that street.

[vester]

What street ?


That is a house.


EDIT:
Here is three fresh photos from today:

Marmorkirken, The Marble Church, Fredericks Church


Kongens Have, Kings Garden (10). That is a statue of H. C. Andensen in the back.


Langelinie

"Zipped!" is a favorite from this batch, and I'm glad you included "At Dronning Loises Bro / Queen Louises Bridge" near sunset, before the temps dropped below 20C/68F.

The three you took today are good shots, too. I especially like "Langelinie" with that rainstorm brewing over the water. If it didn't rain, it sure missed a mighty good chance.

What street ?


That is a house.

Oh!     Well, I wouldn't want to ride a bicycle on a house either ...

Full moon:

Vor Frelser Kirke, Church of Our Saviour in Christianshavn.


Skuespilhuset, The Royal Danish Playhouse.

Splendid  night pictures, Arne! I loved the first one.

[vester]

Thank you Arthur.


Was out biking. Got out of Copenhagen all the way to Dragør. A small fisher village out on the island Amager, 12 km from the town hall.


The Øresund Bridge to Sweden.

Random pictures from the village:




Five paces a head:



The old bakery.
















Old Madam Blue. Coffee anybody ?

[Jmouse]

The night shots are stunning, with the first and last ones barely edging out the others as favorites. The little village is charming, and exactly what I would hope to see if I ever have a chance to visit Europe. As for a favorite, I guess it would be the one with the redbud tree in bloom, but all the photos have an irresistible, and somewhat mysterious, European charisma.

[vester]

Thank you for your comment, Joan. Glad you like them.
In the old days there were a lot more life in Dradør, before the bridge was build.
At that time there was a ferry connection to Limhamn, Malmö in Sweden.
No its a bit out of the way, way on the other side of the airport.

Here are two pictures from the harbour. One from that rainy day and night picture:

[vester]

Double posting. Couldn't help myself.

Had small bike trip around the southern part of the harbour.


The house in the middle is called Metropolis. Its the Church of our Saviour just right of the red light.
The line of light under the red light is Bryggebroen / the Brygge Bridge.


Metropolis seen in from the north. The area behind it I call the Jazz Quarter as all the street are name after jazz musicians connected with Copenhagen.
Names like Thad Jones, Oscar Pettiford, Richard Boone, Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon


H. C. Ørstedværket / H. C. Ørsted Power Plant.
Named after a Danish physicist and chemist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields, an important aspect of electromagnetism.


The Aller Building and the Brygge Bridge.

Great pictures on both of your posts, Arne! Too bad the third one ( of the last post) is a bit blurry.

(just a little question, do you happen to know a little bit Olso? I'm going there this summer and I'm searching for place to good photos ( I'm shooting films btw ) )

[vester]

Funny thing, the lower part doesn't look that blurry.


Oslo. Have only been there once. It is not that big a city.
Things that comes to mind is names like Anker Brygge and the new opera at the harbour, the Harbour in general,  Holmen Kollen (not sure the new ski hop hill is done or not) and
The Akerhus Castle and royal castle, Slottet (literally: the castle)
