I love street scenes. I love to shoot them. Copenhagen’s scenes are colorful, architecturally interesting and convey a sense of friendliness. Copenhagen is the friendliness city I know. And I love that everyone speaks English. They study it throughout school, and with very little accent. It is a bicycle city. The country itself has 1.2 million people and 2 million bicycles! The bicycle paths are extremely wide and totally dedicated to bicycles. You don’t walk in them, and bicyclists don’t use sidewalks, for the simple reason they don’t need to. Even many bridges are dedicated to pedestrians and bicyclists. Simply said, Copenhagen is a lovely city to visit.

Ferry to Sweden, just a short sail across the sea – this is about an hour north of Copenhagen

We saw many thatched roof houses in the countryside north of Copenhagen. The sticks on top are to keep the thatch down, I guess. Thatched roofs last between 40 and 50 years.
