Last one from The King’s Garden this fall. I love the graphic effects in these old parks.

The King’s Garden 9, Copenhagen 2012
Beech is the national tree in Denmark – here in the form of a hedge with the Renaissance castle, Rosenborg, in the background.

The King’s Garden (Kongens Have) lies in the middle of Copenhagen. It’s a lovely park much used by the locals and houses a ‘fairytale castle’ from the 17’th century. I entered the gate one slightly chilly afternoon in November in search of more fall pictures.
“On the inside looking out”
This photoblog is my sandbox. Committing myself to post daily gives me a reason to play with a variety of photographic expressions and from this often comes inspiration to more art-related series. These are presented in my portfolio and my post today is in celebration of having completed my revision of “On the inside looking out”. You can view all fourteen photos here: http://karinottportfolio.com/2013/01/07/on-the-inside-looking-out-6/ – or just enjoy this one.
The Mall 5, Copenhagen 2012
One last detail from the mall this time around. There are two malls close to where I live. I guess I’m lucky there are two. I wouldn’t get this kind of image at the other one.

One final look at Kastellet for this time. This vista reminds me so of old French copper prints.

Kastellet may be a pretty place for a Sunday walk in the fall, but it clearly was meant for defense. It held its ground against the Swedes in 1658 but fell against the English in 1807 and the Germans in 1940.

On the day I visited Kastellet, the old battlements of Copenhagen, they celbrated it’s 348’th birthday by dressing up.

If you walk on from the pier of the Royal Danish yacht you pass the Norwegian church and come to Kastellet, the resently renovated part of Copenhagen’s old defense. In the old days people would promanade on the battlement in their Sunday clothes. You can almost see it…

And here are the pavillions where the royal Danish family waits before boarding their yacht. Denmark is mostly islands so it’s easy to sail to places.
