Great shots. I have never seen Aalborg from up there before.
I haven´t been at Aalborg Tårnet since 1995, so interesting to see Aalborg from that angle again.

Observations:

- Hasseris looks nice, but a little monotone, all houses look almost the same way. I have always considered Hasseris a place where it is probably nice to live, but where there is nothing to do if you don´t actually live there.

- Along Limfjorden you can see that Aalborg is still pretty much industrial....even that this is changing.

- Actually the city center looks pretty small from Aalborg Tårnet....the center of Aalborg actually is quite small, but relatively compact.

- on the Photo number nine from above ("The Good life in Denmark") I can see Skovbakkevej....it´s a road that brings yo to....Aalborgtårnet. It´s pretty hard to climb that road by bike, I can tell :D
Nice. The city looks compact, almost like a miniature city from there.
- Hasseris looks nice, but a little monotone, all houses look almost the same way.
On the contrary...

(activate you google translate)

"Hasseris er et af Aalborgs mest attraktive kvarterer med store gamle huse, store haver og gamle, karakterdannende træer. Der er knyttet væsentlige bevaringsinteresser til såvel kvarteret som helhed som til de enkelte huse og træer.

Umiddelbart fremstår kvarteret homogent, først og fremmest på grund af beplantningsstrukturen. En nærmere analyse af bebyggelsen viser imidlertid, at husene er opført i et tidsmæssigt spænd på mere end 80 år, og det rummer stor variationsrigdom i såvel størrelse som arkitektonisk formsprog. Kvarteret rummer med andre ord en god blanding af, hvad dansk byggeskik har kunnet præstere i tiden fra 1880'erne og frem til i dag.

Hasseris Villaby og Klostermarken rummer tilsammen ca. 1300 ejendomme."


For those interrestet in architecture... Both also in Danish

@Kasimodo:

No problem, I DO read Danish, even that my nick is Italian, but I AM Danish ;)

Probably you are right about Hasseris, but as they say in that article "Umiddelbart fremstår kvarteret homogent", so my impression was not totally wrong. But maybe if you study the buildings further you will notice the differences. But from above, from Aalborgtårnet, the area does seem quite homogene or monotone (matter of taste what word you would use).
I have a friend that lives in Aalborg. This city is wonderfull! Loved the pictures
