No more harbour

When I was a boy Nordhavn (Northern Harbour) in Copenhagen was a living harbour with lot of different ships and cargos. As in many European ports this is history. The former harbour areas are now crowded with fancy and expensive residential buildings and ships are limited to passenger ships and cruise liners. Shops are unusual – wine bars and restaurants more common.

    That is a super cool thing to do with an old silo. Some of these buildings are cookie cutter and some modern looking, but I think it gives it a unique look from afar.

    Many thanks for your comment, Steve. May be the unique look will increase. Some architects want with this project to make Copenhagen »the most Dickable City in the World«!

    Terrific series....good architectural work. Seeing the boats in #29 piqued my interest. Would you know if those kind of boats are American imports or are they of European manufacture?

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Many thanks for your comment. I don't know a thing about the boats. :)
