I have spent Easter in Copenhagen, in glorious spring weather. On Saturday, my
sister and I went for a walk in Langelinie, the coastal park just north of city
centre that contains the Little Mermaid. But we were not there for that. A few
hundred meters away from the mermaid there are approximately 200 cherry trees,
donated in 2005 by a Japanese businessman on the occasion of the 200th
anniversary of HC Andersen’s birth that was celebrated that year. They have
since become a much loved part of the city’s landscape, and it is not hard to
see why. Three different views of the explosion of blossoms.

Every year, a Japanese festival is held under the cherry trees:

since I am flying home this afternoon.
Cheers,
