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.

Golden Orbs

The Caritas Well on Gammeltorv in Copenhagen is the oldest of the fountains in Copenhagen. It's from 1608 and ordered by King Christian IV. On certain days, like the Queen's birthday, golden orbs made by copper coated with 24 carat gold is put in the fountain. To hinder theft a discreet guard is placed there as well.
