Copenhagen Town Hall Square
I saved a few photos for now regarding last week’s post on the new Metro Circle line in Copenhagen. Copenhagen Townhall Square is a special place for me as my grandparents met there in secrecy a hundred years ago. The Dragon Fountain still needs to be renovated to its former glory so I will wait to bring pictures of that part […]
My Favorite Place in London
In my last two posts, I wrote about the City of London. To see the buildings and streets while riding bus 15 takes you quickly to Kings Cross Station and Trafalgar Square. The National Gallery of Art and the National Portrait Gallery is there for all to see for free. The first museum is vast, and to be able to […]
More Sights in the City of London
#Two in a series on the City of London The city of London was built on the original Roman London and nearly destroyed twice. The first time in 1666 during the Great Fire and next during the Blitz in WWII. I believe most tourists go to this area to see St Paul’s Cathedral or The Monument; I recommend to walk around […]
A Guided Tour in the City of London
A mixture of old and new architecture As I was travelling to London alone this spring, I enjoyed taking part in guided walks. One was about Christopher Wren’s churches, and the other was about architecture and history of the City of London in the same area around St. Paul’s Cathedral. The way this square mile is governed is far beyond […]
A Day Visit to Alexandria, Virginia
Looking back at photos from a day trip to Alexandria last summer, I would like to share some memories and images from the Historic Old Town Alexandria. As so often, looking back at a place, I would love to go back and see all the things I missed and only found out the existence of long after. One of the […]
Murals in San Fransisco
The tourist information office was moved from the border of Tenderloin to the area of Mission where the SFMOMA, Museum of Modern Art is situated. The first time we were visiting San Fransisco, we had a tendency to walk right to Tenderloin each time we were trying to go anywhere. It’s an area where you don’t go after sunset. The […]
King Street Station, Seattle
Visiting renovated old historic buildings make a trip to a city very attractive
Looking at Architecture on a Trip to San Francisco
It’s enjoyable to look at the different styles of historic architecture when travelling. It seems so different from our minimalistic style in Denmark though before WWI we had more beautiful buildings. I have ordered a book on American architecture to help me recognise the style in which the houses are built. When I receive the book, I will return with […]
Remembering Notre Dame #2
Remembering Notre Dame After I wrote about Notre Dame from the stories of my parents and grandparents, I found more details about their post-war journeys to Paris. My parents were on a youth group-tour in 1949, and after a long exhausting train ride without room to sleep, they went out sightseeing in Paris. Notre Dame was the first place they […]
