Time lapse again

 

My latest time lapse from Copenhagen is this one. Taken on Constitution Day, which in Denmark is the 5th of June, it starts very symbolic at the Danish Parliament Folketinget at Christiansborg Palace with the statue of King Frederik VII in the foreground. He was the king that decided to give Denmark a Constitution based on democracy in 1849. The rest of the time lapse will take you through many of the squares in the old park of the city.

 

Dogs and bicycles

 

Copenhagen is renowned for its bicycle culture, and with more bicycles in the city than people, traffic jams are not only evident in the streets with cars, lorries and buses. It's also a problem on the bicycle lanes during rush hour. People here seems to be transporting anything possible on their bikes; groceries and kids are high on the list, but even man's best friend seems to enjoy a ride.

Black Pond Lake

Sortedams Sø (English: Black Pond Lake or Black Dam Lake) is part of the five lakes in Copenhagen. It consists of two basins (north and south). The southernmost point is by the Dronning Louises Bro, while the northernmost is by Østerbro. The lakes are separated by Fredensbro (English: Bridge of the Peace) -RS

Some more street art

Sometimes, walking around Copenhagen, one comes across amazing works of art done by street artists such as Tejn. I have come across his work mostly as paste-ups and have been very impressed with it. As someone who believes public spaces should not be bland and faceless it gladdened my heart to come across this piece on the Dronning Louises Bro near Nørrebro.

The pieces are called Lock On's and are made from reclaimed metal found in relevant areas with a link to certain events and then given a new lease of life.

In another blog I came across I saw there were more installations dotted around the city so I will go and search for them.
