Still at Nikolaj Kirke – Copenhagen is called the City of Towers and traditionally we have always put copper on the roofs. Therefore we are a city of green towers – very recognizable.

Sankt Nikolaj Church 2, 2012
The first Sankt Nikolaj Church was built in the 13’th century. It’s the third oldest church in Copenhagen. Consider that… About 900 years old and there are two churches that are older!

Saint Nikolaj Church lies in the very center of Copenhagen but just like another of the most central churches, Helligåndskirken, is no longer functions as one. Today it serves as an exhibition hall. It also houses a café with outdoor serving on a quiet, leafy square just of Strøget, the main shopping street.
I brought my camera with me on a day in the early fall when I was shopping for art supplies and had fun with the towers.

This alley caught my eye purely by chance. I’m not even sure I could find it again. Apart from it being far too clean, this must be what streets often looked like in the old days.

Another way to see the tower of The Church of Our Saviour. Funny how I never notced the two men sitting on the side before. I even got married in this church.
The construction began in 1682, and it is a grand baroque church – quite intimidating, really.

This is the first time on this blog I’ve covered the main landmark of Christianshavn – the tower of The Church of Our Savior (Vor Frelser Kirke). It is possible to walk up the spiral staircase and you might be able to make out the people on the picture.

Back to Christanshavn – home of the old houses and narrow canals.
Irish Coffee
It doesn’t happen that often but this shot was taken at my home. Peter produced the perfect Irish coffee, and I wanted to test the Nikon’s performance in flash-free candle light. The coffee tasted as good as it looks…

Another two-for-one. These are from my desk at The Flash and Burn Photo Studio.
Amager Beach 7 – 2012
The water between Denmark and Sweden is very shallow. This is the reason for the construction to the right. It’s a pier for jumping in the water and for tanning out of the wind. The construction is a pretty amazing piece of architecture and I need to go back one day with my camera and spend some time.
