So many bicycles! How did I not instantly know this was Denmark?
This looks like a little park! What’s that in the distance?
It’s a shopping center, I think. I somehow found myself in this gorgeous part of town.
Two people out enjoying the sunshine.
I’m out of that little area. I have no idea where I am, but I did find a McDonald’s.
They have 7-Elevens in Denmark?
I seem to be even more lost than before, but I don’t mind, this is all very nice.
This was better than finding an airport.
So, it was here that I decided to take off “hide location” because it really wasn’t about the airport anymore.
I was in Christianshavn, Hovedstaden, Denmark.
This is a REALLY neat place according to Wikipedia.
Christianshavn is an artificial island neighbourhood located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in the early 17th century by Christian IV as part of his extension of the fortifications of Copenhagen. Originally it was laid out as an independent privileged merchant’s town with inspiration from Dutch cities but it was soon incorporated into Copenhagen proper. Dominated by canals, it is the part of Copenhagen with the most nautical atmosphere.
For much of the 20th century a working-class neighbourhood, Christianshavn developed a bohemian reputation in the 1970s and it is now a fashionable, diverse and lively part of the city with its own distinctive personality, with residents tending to see themselves first as Christianshavners and then as Copenhageners.[1] Businessmen, students, artists, hippies and traditional families with children live side-by-side…
Freetown Christiania, a partially self-governing neighborhood which has established semi-legal status as an independent community in an area of abandoned military barracks, appears as a “city within the city”. It has a considerable population and is a venue for many cultural events as well as experimental and idiosyncratic “Architecture Without Architects”.
