last weekend we went to copenhagen to visit our friends krys and kate. the train ride over took about three hours and we were able to see the sun set on the baltic.
the first thing you see when exiting the central train station is tivoli gardens. the line literally wraps around the block on a friday night.
we saw great window art the next morning on our walk to get breakfast.
crazy naked african pygmy looking statue.
and a giant ear with tiny people cleaning it, i'm not even sure what that place was selling.
danish danishes, kind of a no-brainer.
a motorized street vending cart. it was going down a major street at the speed of a lawnmower.
interesting fact, apparently most hotdog/street food vendors are government subsidized. it's like the danish equivalent of welfare, and much easier to swallow.(heh)
this is the old danish stock exchange building. the spyre has four dragons atop it with their tails entwining upwards. they're supposed to represent the four scandinavian countries. it's also pretty tough.
i'd call this picture beauty and the beast, but that really isn't fair to all the decent, honest beasts out there.
train ride home. look at all those wind turbines, copenhagen is the leading country in wind energy production.
