Now that Vincent (
Hive account@vcelier) has left for Poland I am back in my old routine - one and a half hour of either walking or biking. Today I took the bicycle-bridge route, that I enjoyed very much ten days ago, but this time I took a lot of pictures.
I started taking photos at Kongens Nytorv. Here you see Charlottenborg where I for six years attended: The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (notice all the royal upper case letters!)
Nyhavn (new harbour) was once a place for sailors and people who wanted to have some fun, some beers, a beating, or a Tattoo. Now it is mainly for tourists.
Back in November I wrote about my brother in law who had refitted one of the ships here in Nyhavn with a new aft deckhouse. I couldn't see it today and I was eager to get on, but it should be here somewhere.
Here is the Nyhavn bridge. In the rush hour this place is very busy. But today it was not bad.
Looking to the east from the bridge you can see the Operahouse, the old navy wharfs and a warship (quite small, you have to be a pixel counter to see it.)
The view to the west, with the bridge called Knippel's bridge
On the other side you are on Christianshavn. There was a lot of small bridges here for cyclists and pedestrians.
Looking back at the Nyhavn Bridge
A pretty house boat
Christianshavn is a place with a strange mixture of old and new houses. These are old.
Path to the old ramparts of Christianshavn.
Apartments seen from the ramparts.
Biking in height with the second floor (third floor in the US)
Beautiful old trees. I love trees.
A couple of kilometres later I am at Islands Brygge bridge. Busy in the rush hours, but not on a Sunday.
Last time i was here I wouldn't have been able to take a photo. Too many people on bikes. But today almost nobody on the bridge called the bicycle snake.
The last bridge... and the longest. Enghave bridge crossing the rail tracks south-west of the main station
All in all about 19 kilometers.
