København

When the Danes say "København" it sounds nothing like the english version "Copenhagen." But its great! It almost sounds like they are saying "Coop in Hound" with a soft d at the end. What would a "coop in hound" be?

This is a postcard-style shot of one Copenhagen's oldest (1670's) harbor canals called Nyhavn. It's the street that you will recognize if you've ever seen any images of the city, and is on every postcard rack around--but for good reason. It's a really great place. You will find tourists and locals both, filling the cafes all the way down the street. And for those on the cheap, you just grab a can of beer to-go and sit on the edge of the canal facing the cafes to watch the world go by. And go by it does, all day, every day, even in the rain you can see people here in the cafes with complimentary blankets over their laps, or tourists taking the long-boat canal tours.
