Copenhagen, Denmark

This panoramic photograph of Copenhagen was taken by James Blakeway. To the distant right is the Oresund, the channel between the Baltic and Kattegat, which ultimately leads to the North Sea. To the right, lined by boats, is Christianshavns Canal. The area left of the large white ferries is called Nyhavn or “new harbor”. It is actually a beautiful old harbor and is full of expensive restaurants and cafes. Copper is used on the roofs of many churches, government buildings and old castles. Weathered by the salt air gives Copenhagen the moniker of “city of green spires.” Copenhagen is the Capital of Denmark and Scandinavia's largest city with 1.5 million people.
