Copenhagen Photo Series - part 1

Over the next couple of days I plan to publish a series of photos from my trip to Copenhagen earlier this year.

Today I’d like to share some of our photos from The Marble Church and Amalienborg.

The Sea Stallion arrives in Dublin

The Sea Stallion, the replica Viking ship on its experimental voyage from Denmark to Ireland, is now less than 14 nautical miles from Dublin.

Homeless World Cup gets underway

With 17 goals South Africa became the top scorer on the opening day of the Homeless World Cup.

Sterling introduces new luggage allowance money spinner

For just a brief second I actually thought that Sterling Airlines had come to its senses and for once was going to play fair.

Support the 5th Homeless World Cup

If you’re in Copenhagen from 29 July - 4 August, swing by the Town Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) to catch the action of the 5th Homeless World Cup.

Environmentally friendly Amalienborg

I was just working my way through some of our photographs from Copenhagen, and noticed on this photo that Amalienborg is using energy saving light bulbs in the outdoor lamps in the courtyard.

Photographs from Bork Havn, Denmark

We visit Bork Havn at least once a year. But these photos are from our visit in June 2007.

Something is stirring at Bork Havn

If you visit Bork Havn in Denmark on a weekday, you could be forgiven for thinking that nothing ever happens there. Even at the height of summer, the old fisherman’s harbour situated by the west coast of Jutland sees little activity during the week, other than a tourist or two strolling through Bryggen on their way to buy their first “soft ice” of the day. But new development plans could see Bork Havn change from a traditional come-enjoy-the-free-nature tourist area to a more all-round, all-year tourist hot spot.

Midsummer Celebrations in Denmark

If you are visiting Denmark right now, make sure you don’t miss out on the Midsummer celebrations on Saturday, 23 June.

“Sankt Hans Aften” is celebrated with bonfires all over Denmark.
