Copenhagen, capital of Denmark, is a small but charming city replete with beautiful architecture and picturesque harbours. It is known, of course, for the Little Mermaid and Hans Christian Anderson, but Copenhagen has many other treasures. There are many beautiful churches, in particular the Marble Church and The Royal Palace, and terrific views of the city can be seen from the top of the Round Tower (Rundetaarn). Cultured tourists can take in its many museums, and I had the pleasure of visiting the Carlsberg Museum, with its terrific collection of fine art, sculptures and artefacts. Christmas is a great time to visit the city, not simply for the terrific lights and markets, but the famous Tivoli festival with its wonderful illuminations, rides and eateries. Most of these shots were taken during my second fleeting visit, and since Copenhagen is a very walkable city, I managed to take most of these within a single day and evening. I also spent half a day at Copenhagen’s excellent zoo, one of the oldest in Europe. I took my usual travel complement of the Nikkors 18-200mm VR, 50mm F/1.8G, 35mm F/2 AF-D, and the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8. Enjoy!
