Many thanks, Taz. Just wait to my presentation of the photos of the historical harbour areas. That will be The Never Ending Story III

Many thanks for your comment. Not all cities are alike . The photos are taken on some wild flowers, that grow on the rocky wharf on the edge of Copenhagen Harbour. In fact the ground is a part of the area, where the central waste water purification plant of greater Copenhagen is situated! You don't breathe to hard, when you are staying there . I only have to bike a few kilometres to get out there.

Wow! That is nice to hear! You are right, it depends on the city.

I've only visited one Nordic country, Sweden. I was planing to go to Finland in the future but maybe I might pass through Copenhagen.

Many thanks for your comment. Yes, Copenhagen benefits from some nearby natural areas. It's a never ending fight to protect these areas and all those politicians who love so-called development now and then eat a bite and then another bite. But I guess: That's the same all over the world. Do pass through Copenhagen. You will love it.
