Duplo's blog

Hi All,

And welcome to a Duploworld update on Copenhagen and my return home to Greenland.
Aged Tree

Is a photo from a place called "Dyrehaven", which means animal garden. Basically it is a huge forest area with protected areas for wild animals. Forest trails for people to walk, ride or bike. Even a large amusement park called "bakken". We used to live 10 minutes away from there and it is one of my favourite areas. A place I make sure to visit when I am in Denmark.

Another thing that I truly enjoy when in Denmark is macro photography. The diversity of flowers and flora is simply amazing. Best part is that it can be done everywhere, indore in a controlled environment like above, or when visiting family, like seen HERE.
Family visits is naturally an important part of every visit to Copenhagen. we really try to get to see as many as possible. Not being around our family during our normal daily life only increase the pleasure of spending time with them. The photo below is from one of those occations, Miss Duplo and I stopping by the café where my sister works as a supervisor.

Another regular stop on our trips to Copenhagen is "langelinie" a cruise ship harbour area. Famous for its Icecream. On our stop there this time there was surprisingly enough no cruice ships and we did not really feel like eating ice cream. We just sat there for a while enjoying the view towards "trekroner" a tiny fortress located in the waters at the entry to the harbour. the clouds made a beautiful display on this day.

The final place to mention this time around is located a bit north of Copenhagen. It is called Frederiksborg Castle.
Located in Hillerød and surround by moats and a beautiful park and garden area.
A former Royal residence, orginally built by King Christian IVI in the early 17th century. in 1859 it was burned to the ground, but it has since been brought back to how it was at the time of King Christian IV. these days acting as a museum and open to the public. Same goes for the park and garden area and it is simply put a very beautiful place. One of those quiet spots in a busy provincial town.
One of my favourite places in this area, are in the upper part of the baroque garden (a garden recreated from studies of the gardens as they were around 1725), the scene blow is describes what I like about this isolated area of the garden. At least I hope so:)

This saturday marked the end of our trip and the return flight towards Greenland. Unlike the route we normally follow, the stopover on this trip was Narsarsuaq south of Greenland. the 4 hour stopover gave me an excuse to go hunting for a few decent photos to mark the beginning of my "Greenlandic Summer Photos 2008" album.

Well I guess that is all for now. More photos in the "Denmark 2008" album and the "Greenlandic Summer Photos 2008" album.

Thanks for reading and do take care:)
