I´ll like to show you a few photos of how it looks
like where I live.
Half an hours car drive east from where I live
is Copenhagen the Capital
Amalienborg Castle
this is where our Majesty the Queen and her family lives.
There are 4 buildings like this surrounding
the square and if you look close you can
see a little red sort of tower like thing
standing on the right side of the gate in the back.
These are sentry boxes still in use.
The Royal Danish Life Guards are wachting.
Marble Church
Standing on the square
you can see the big Marble Church
also called Frederiks Church.
The church is open for the public and there a staircase
to the dome with the most beautiful overlook of Copenhagen
Nyhavn
As we didn´t manage to travel to Amsterdam this time
we took a trip to our own canal - Nyhavn - also
situated in Copenhagen.
These are restored really old building
and it´s alway such a nice walk along the canal.
If you drive half an hour up north from where I live
you can visit this castle
Frederiksborg Castle
This castle was used for hunt and home for the king
in the old days.
It´s now open for the public and housesT
the National History Museum.
the great hall
Inside you can see the great Hall.
Imagine the beautiful balls held here.
Frederiksborg Castle Church
Inside the Castle is also the
Castle Church.
This Church is still in used and very popular
among the young people for their confirmation.
The beautiful Chuch Organ.
This is just the few places we were visiting during our vacation this time.
If there´s any of you out there interested in History,
then come on over to see even more

I hope you enjoyed the photos.
Wishing you all a lovely day.

I have been to Kopenhagen years ago with the choir I was singing in. I remember it fondly. The skies so clear and blue, the colors of the town and the most beautiful blond gods I have ever seen walking around in the wild. It was the first foreign city that made me think I actually would want to live there (and not just because of those blond blue-eyed beauties).
Thanks for bringing back those memories.
I can't imagine visiting a place as beautiful as that,let alone live there. You are a lucky gal!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
It must be so wonderful to be surrounded by all of that rich history!
That's something that's truly lacking here in America... and it's kind of sad.
Beautiful architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed the photos.
What a lovely tour! The buildings are beautiful. I can only imagine what it would be like to see them in person. Thanks for showing us around. I'd love to visit someday.

Hi sweet Tina,
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos! You live in a beautiful place! I love the history you shared of these amazing places. The architecture is truly remarkable! We don't have anything like that here in America! The castles and churches are gorgeous! I can only imagine what it would be like to see them in person! I love the marble flooring in the great hall and the ceiling is equally lovely! The churches are so ornate and huge! The canal is very beautiful too, and the homes along side of it are so colorful. I hope you had a wonderful vacation! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful photos! I hope you have a lovely day! Love, Paula
You bet I enjoyed the tour! ; ) What a beautiful place you live in...you are certainly blessed. Thank you for sharing with us.

It's amazing how some of the old buildings around Europe look like they shared an architect, and then there are others so different, and all so differently ornate. No wonder it took them centuries to build some of them :o)
It's beautiful. You are so lucky to live with all of that history on your doorstep!

Your photos are lovely and very interesting, Tina. What history you have surrounding you!
We were in Amsterdam a few years ago and were on one of those canals that look EXACTLY like your photo!
Thanks for the views.
