Nothing spectacular about this photo, but I find I like it anyway. Pleasant, methinks.
Amazingly all those buildings are brand new. Copenhagen and Denmark has been building like crazy in the past ten years, including a bridge to Sweeden, and a bridge between the two main land masses, which I believe is the longest in the world.
Strange, I have not found anybody who could tell me what this strait of water is called. (Langebro goes across it.) I used to live near it, and I have no clue either. The world is weird, only our minds are weirder.

I suspect that this is a view looking towards Islands Brygge on Amager (home of the mighty Amager Kayak Club - Amager Ro og KajakKlub www.arok.dk) in which case the water is called Sydhavnen which runs from Langebro south to Sjælandsbroen. On the Kalvebod Brygge side there is a stretch called Gasvækshavnen.

It is looking *from* Island's Brygge, but you're right, it must be Sydhavnen, thanks.
How does an Australian know all that?
the danish electronic phone book / street directory www.krak.dk helps and because we look at the world from "down under" we tend to have a different perspective on geography, the world and life in general. I was there for a couple of minutes in 2004 and wandered through the new wasteland that claimed to be the redevelopment of Islands Brygge - they should develop an exquisit punishment and eternal damnation for Architects (and lawyers) and applied prospectively on the grounds that they will all eventually, no matter what one does to them, become bastards.
Ozzies are also reticent about casting insults.
PS like your stuff, well done and keep it up.
cheers
