The Round Tower

 

One of the must-sees for many tourists in Copenhagen is the Round Tower, Rundertårn in Danish. Built by Christian IV in 1632 it is still used as an observatory, though much better ones has replaced it, so it's now mostly for show. The view from the 30m tower is a nice one as most of the buildings in the inner city is lower than the viewing platform.

 

Old passage with atmosphere

 

The inner city of Copenhagen still has a lot of old buildings like this passage along Regensen, a dormitory from the 17th Century, built by the builder king Christian IV. Unfortunately some people think that this and similar places are perfect for tagging or urinating, so there's certainly an atmosphere, except it's the wrong kind.

Peeking in

I do enjoy walking the same streets and alleys in the inner city of Copenhagen, getting a new glimpse behind a otherwise barred gate, noticing a new detail on a wall, discovering a new angle on a building or just enjoying the change of light and people with the hours of the day. That is, to me, what photography is all about, seeing familiar things in a new way.
