D = Denmark

It wasn’t my intention to use a country as a destination for this Challenge, but since I couldn’t find suitable photos for Disney or Detroit or any other D-city, I had no choice but to improvise.

So it’s off to Denmark we go … or Copenhagen to be exact.

I have featured Copenhagen in previous posts – like this one here.  It’s a beautiful city to visit and easy to explore by bicycle – for those with nerves of steel.

This old city is a visual feast of wonderful statues and fountains that seem to be everywhere.

… but not just any statues.  It has an impressive collection of really odd statues.

Snakes pop up frequently as a common theme.

…. as do strange lizard-like creatures.

This reptilian horror I’ve featured in a previous post.

There are even statues underwater in the Slotsholm Canal.  Called Agnete and the Merman, it is comprised of a group of bronze sculptures half-hidden in the murky water.

It is considered one of the least-known works of art in Copenhagen.  I’m not surprised.  I spotted it only by accident

Now that I think of it, perhaps it’s because of their predilection for the weird and wonderful that puts Copenhagen on the list as one of my favourite places to visit.
