Pointless Blank Paper: Statues of Copenhagen

Work is so busy during these days and I usually get only Sunday free. This time I decided to spend it writing in an irresistible coffee shop, ordering this beautiful french toast (with my favourite maple syrup!) and ice tea instead of coffee itself.

And to fulfill my commitment of productive Sunday, here I write another major throwback post about Copenhagen.

Yes, this is the third post about the beautiful capital of Denmark after

When I Thought It Was Good Idea to Visit Cemetery for Fun

Note: I listened to happy romantic french cafe music here. Have been listening to this for a few weeks to boost my mood, as I'm also planning my visit to Paris this spring!

Back to Copenhagen. The thing is, this city is full of statues. Mint-coloured bronze (I think?) statues almost everywhere. I'm not an art addict and I've got almost zero knowledge and taste about statue but when I see them there, I just know that they were beautiful. As I ran through my gallery, I realised I got a handful pictures of them and here they are!

Valkyrie

Below is dramatic shot of the statue...

Here's the real picture of the statue...

I incidentally walked by this statue after leaving Kastellet. This one was located in Churchill park (of course I didn't know by then!), made by Stephen Sindig in 1910.

Hans Christian Andersen

As I mentioned in this post, I literally didn't expect anything in Copenhagen. When I walked into Rosenborg Castle, I hadn't got any idea about the place. I walked through quiet and serene garden (it was Sunday winter morning at 10 a.m., and I was literally the only person I could notice!), suddenly thought about fairy tale palaces, and then saw this statue...

When I got closer I read in the plaque this was H.C. Andersen statue. I googled almost instantly about him and just known he was a Danish and I was like "oh, no wonder he could write such fairy tale stories if he grew up in this fairy tale kind of country!"

I remember taking lots of picture of the statue but could only save that one!

Moses

As I wondering around Assistens Kirkegaard, I passed through a statue name "Moses". I used to think, as written in the plaque, that this was Michaelangelo's Moses, but then found out that this was a bronze copy of it.

The little mermaid

As icon of Copenhagen, this statue is probably the most popular among others. It took me some time until I got chance taking these pictures, as the location was full of tourists.
