On the streets of Helsingborg [usk]

Kärnan, Helsingborg

Copenhagen Kongens nytorv [usk]

From Kongens Nytorv I take the long and very popular shopping street in Copenhagen, Stroeget. It's crowded with people as always.

Looking back from the square Amagertorvet I can see this beautiful church, Nikolaj.

At the end of the shopping street is the central square of Copenhagen, Raadhuspladsen.

And when I've crossed Raadhuspladsen I am at the amusement park, Tivoli.

From Tivoli I cross the canal via the bridge Langebro and here I find one of Copenhagens most famous churches, Vor Frelsers Kirke. You can climb up the church tower and from the top you have a wonderful view over Copenhagen.

And here I arrive at the Opera House,the national opera house of Denmark, and among the most modern opera houses in the world since 2005.
In the city skyline to the right you can see where I started this walk, Nyhavn.

MALMÖ. None of the houses are more than 200 hundred years old but the street has been there for 800 years.  The street has seen houses being built, torn down and new houses being built up again. Not to mention all the people who has lived on this street during these times.

That Malmö street has a lot of stories to tell.

The sightseeing boat passes the coffee house

The Castle Windmill, Malmö

The Coffee Garden in the Castle Park is an excellent place for recreation with coffee and sandwiches and why not have lunch. The food is excellent and the place is beautiful, especially in summer.

You can eat in the greenhouse too

Beware of the jackdaws. There are plenty of them and they are professional food thieves. Turn away from your table a few secs and your food will be gone!

It's fun to sit and watch those birds, at least as long as it is not my food they are eating. They are intelligent and know exactly when to strike.

An excellent opportunity to draw birds in motion. They are masters at flying in small spaces.

The jackdaws are professional food thieves here in Malmö
