Opera, Copenhagen, Denmark

The opera house in Copenhagen is such an imposing sight. This was snapped during my August 2014 visit to northern Europe.

Come a long way to see you

Here’s one view of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. Little would you know from this perspective but she was being absolutely swarmed with visitors at the time.

Stepping up

It took several minutes to walk to the top of this church spire in Copenhagen … but the reward was a cool breeze and a cool view.

Colourful evening
