I just found this collection of Copenhagen photos on the net, that I thought would be worth sharing with you all. All photos by: fritzenwallner.org
We start out with a bunch of wintertime nightshots:
Skt. Hans Torv (St. Johns Square) in Nørrebro
Some place as above...
And again...
From the icy lakes.
Zooming in on "Søpavillionen" (The Lakepavillion), with the Codan Tower behind it.
The purple light comes from the constantly changing illumination (it's a disco/nightclub)
And even closer...
The neon lights at the Nørrebro side of the lakes.
The opposite side.
From "Gråbrødre Torv" (Grey Friars Square).
The City Hall Square. It must have been a REALLY cold winter night since the place is so deserted.
Axeltorv (Axel's Square) with the colorfull Palads Cinema.
An finally some people at the entrance to Vesterport S-station.
Central Station
Vesterbrogade looking towards the City Hall Square
And finally a part of the former Tuborg HQ, now it's some other offices but the giant rooftop-add has stayed...
I have to say that in nighttime CPH resembles HKI a lot. Buildings look different, but there's something distinctly downtown HKI-ish in the density and setting of the buildings. I don't know, maybe it's just darkness that does it...
Now for part 2 of the photos:
A tour of the Carlsberg Brewery
Starting out at Vesterbro Torv with the Elias Church
Getting closer to the brewery. Here's the HQ tower seen behind a district with former brewery worker dwellings.
These days they are very popular (and expensive)
The 88m office tower.
Getting closer to one of the old gates...
Those were the days when industrial architecture really were given some attention.
The first of the two gates.
The second gate, known as "The elephant gate"
The first gate from the other side.
Notice the svastika on the side of the elephant. It used to be the company logo, untill somebody called Adolf spoiled it.
I love that mini-skyscraper ... It has an awesome look .. too bad they didnt make it any taller ... well .. i guess 88m was tall back in the early 1960s when they built it .. oh well .. Great pictures tournesol Again I hope theres a part 3 to this series
whikkid pics, that brewery i should visit if i get a chance, looks cool, i would never have guessed that the waters around cph froze during winter, anyways great thread
