This was taken on the coast of Denmark in Helsingør at the Kronborg castle. It inspired Shakespeare and was featured as Elsinore in Hamlet. This part of Denmark’s coast is a scant 4 km from Sweden, hence the placement of the castle, when these two countries were sworn enemies. I was told that if you go underwater, you can see proof of the warring factions through the mounds of cannonballs along the floor of the sea. As technology got progressively better, the cannonballs were able to go a further distance. But those that didn’t make it are still at the bottom of the ocean as small mounds of cannonballs slowly inching to the opposite coast.

Get up and play!
Soccer is a blast! I’ve loved it since I was little. But I hate running, and I’m just not a good soccer player. Regardless, I have fun watching through my camera lens! Especially when I have really nice voluntary models 🙂
Looking over Copenhagen
Summer is here! (and I’m a little late to the game for a reason)
So I make no secret my love of winter.
Don’t get me wrong, I love being warm and cozy. But I would much rather be able to add layers of clothing/blankets/warm snuggly puppies to ward off the chill than be sweating, sticky, and smell. But as it is now officially summer (as of 4 days ago), I do have to accept that it is definitely beautiful outside:
And I will just leave the rest of you to enjoy it outside while I watch from my nice cool home 🙂
Black Diamond Library Escalators
The Black Diamond Library looks out over the harbor in Copenhagen. The building is incredibly striking because, you guessed it, it is a gleaming black structure in the shape of a three-dimensional diamond. This was taken as I was leaving after a long day of studying before finals during my semester abroad.
Copenhagen
I had a wonderful time in Copenhagen during my study abroad.I took a break from studying to explore Copenhagen Harbor. It was absolutely beautiful in the late afternoon light and brutally windy. To escape the wind, I boarded a canal boat to travel the small canals and the harbor protected from the gusts.
I absolutely loved my time in Copenhagen. The winter was especially beautiful starting with a white Thanksgiving. This was just some of the aftermath!
I got to see so many amazing sites and take zillions of photos. Whenever I feel nostalgic, I go through them to remind myself of a fantastic time. I’ll probably keep uploading them from time to time 🙂
