Ol' Blue Eyes

This building is the head-office of the shipping company AP Møller Mærsk. It is sometimes locally referred to as "Old Blue Eyes" due to the tint on the windows. It dominates the Esplanaden and overlooks the area where the queen arrives and departs for the royal yacht.

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.

The Queen

As Frederiksborg Castle is a royal palace it shouldn't come as a surprise that portraits of the queen, the royal consort and the rest of the family are very much in evidence here. These two portraits of the queen show her very different sides; the official one as seen on the coins and the more human side, that also is very clearly a part of her.
