Yesterday was the 16th anniversary of my mother’s death, and as usual, I am in
Copenhagen for a few days at this time. 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:

Fortification turned into jogging trail:

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:

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:

Much more to come.
