Nyhavn

The much-photographed Nyhavn - New Harbor - neighborhood of Copenhagen. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) set down his fairy tales while living in two residences on this street. [Among his beloved stories are "The Ugly Duckling", "The Brave Tin Soldier", and "The Little Mermaid".] Not far away is the famous bronze statue of The Little Mermaid, basking on a rock in the harbor. Nyhavn is now home to restaurants and clamorous pubs; there were lots of spectacularly drunk natives here when I passed through ;)

Like a baywalk, seen in other countries....

This is a nice scene with much color.

I didn't do much today but...

I did write about how people used to wear long underwear over winter or until we began to stink. You can find the link at the bottom of the post today.
