My sister also has come from Poland, so that we could visit our mother?s grave together yesterday, fulfilling a promise made to each other 16 years ago. But it is not all about gloom and remembrance. I am also spending time with friends and enjoying this great city. So yesterday morning I went for a long walk in Langeline, the park which houses the Little Mermaid, and adjacent 19th military installations known as Kastellet; those fortifications were never used in war, and today they form part of a great green oasis close to the centre of Copenhagen. Four images from my walk. A morning commute that is guaranteed to give a good start to the day: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-dTtjxfT/A Fortification turned into jogging trail: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-C9HVJv6/A Next to Kastellet is Churchill Park, a place where Denmark honours its fallen during World War II and expresses its gratitude to the country and the leader that liberated us in 1945. This is a memorial to Danish soldiers killed during the war, both in Denmark and in Allied service: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-wcsBLpP/A And here is a quiet corner of Churchill Park, with a buste of the great man, erected in 1955 for the 10th anniversary of Denmark?s liberation: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-7dNrTsw/A Much more to come.
