In the summer months there is a campsite in Copenhagen specially for motor homes and camper vans! it's called city camp! Close to city and it's got everything you need on a camping! It's i nice walk to the city center but you also can rent bike's there! But when traveling, I always bring my own bike!
Copenhagen Pride week!
The thing of traveling unprepared is that you probably miss out on a lot of things! Positive side is that you probably will never know what you missed out on! But the most fun thing is that if you discover something cool, it will stick with you for a longer time! Like this week in Copenhagen, it's pride week! That means a lot of people in the city but also a lot of activities! I don't like city's that much because it's always to busy for me! All those noises and people doing busy, I cant take that any more! So I tried to filter every thing out, put on my noise cancelling headphones and went for it!
Of course I went to this iconic place in the city! The old harbor and it's colored houses! It was a beautiful sunset! I tried to shoot some panorama's but there are so many variables that it took me way longer than I hoped! But a couple of these panorama's worked out perfectly! It was a long day and I wanted to go to the van and drink a beer! But I was glad that I stayed longer because of the next set of pictures! I saw a little house on the side of the river who was lit up in rainbow colors so I went and took pictures of it! There I met a Danish photographer who told me there were more buildings lit up like this! so I went on a rainbow building hunt!
It was so cool to see all those colorful buildings! And there were many photographers around there to photograph it to, so I had some nice conversations with other photographers! One guy flew his drone out to take pictures from the sky! Not very legal to fly you drone at night but is was pretty cool! It was a good way to discover the city's night life!
Museum
The next day the weather was even warmer than the day before so i decided to go to a museum! That because I really like to go to museums if I am traveling! It's a good way to learn about the history and art in that country, but often the buildings it self are a piece of art to! And museums have air conditioning to preserve the collection better! And I don't like the heat that much so air-conditioning was very welcome! If you want to visit a museum in Copenhagen you can buy one ticket that gives you access to three museums. The natural history, the Geological Museum and the Palm House Complex in the Botanical Garden including the Butterfly House! This is the Museum of Natural History. They had an exhibition about Neanderthals! And i like old stuff! I didn't photograph many things of that exhibition, you have to go look yourself, but the buildings interior was very nice!
Botanical gardens!
Despite the warm weather that day, I still wanted to go to the botanical garden, also because there was a butterfly garden attached to it! But that location is a big glass greenhouse .... Wen I arrived I saw a lot of people come out who were soaking wet of all the sweating they did inside! The temperature was more than 30 degrees Celsius inside! And in the top of the greenhouse it's closer to 40 degrees Celsius! The moment I entered the green huose, my glasses fog up immediately! I am not made for these kind of temperatures! But i love plants and butterfly so I really wanted to go!
It was so warm inside that I wasn't paying attention on taking good pictures! I did hear all kinds of frogs singing so I went on a quest to capture one! I only have my 50 mm F1,8 with me inside so it was a nice challenge!
It was so difficult to locate them but finally I found one! the sound they make was so cool, it really was if I was walking in a rain forest! There were so many different plants and I took many pictures! I hope you don't minde an overkill of pictures!
In the butterfly garden it was very busy, many people who all tried to take a nice picture of the butterflies! That part of the greenhouses was also quite small compared to the rest! So I haven't been able to make nice pictures of the butterfly's!
It were two very nice day's exploring this city! But because of the time of year and because of pride week it was to busy for me! Next time i definitely will go back in a much in a quieter period!

They did a good job lighting it up like this!
Wow, I am blown away by so much beauty. Those photos look really great, congratulations! Those buildings look fabulous. And that museum is beauty at its finest. I was wondering if that was real, I never thought something like that could exist. I fell in love with all your photos, thanks for sharing them!
Thank you so much! 🙏 the building is real but the the walls in that museum are fake and i think a little kitsch, like it's not old at all! 😄
Oh wow!! This is a beautiful destiny!! I had no idea that there they have such a wonderful pride celebration.
And I actually didn’t know it was so beautiful!! Amazing post!
There are pride weeks all over Europe! Party's every where in the summertime!

It's lovely to see how the pride week was celebrated there as I'm used to see just parades and that's it.
I didn't do much celebration! I am to old for that 😅🙈
I would love to be there someday..
Definitely do that! It's a lovely country!
Beautiful shots!
Thank you! 🙏
These pictures are so mesmerizing, I couldn't stop looking at them😍
You sure had a great time.
Who knew such beautiful places existed?
This just goes to show how much important travelling is, I plan to travel one day like this and explore places that I haven't heard of
I think I would have been terrified of the butterfly garden though because butterflies creep me out 🥲😅
The pictures of the museum are amazing, the structure of that building has so much culture in its walls.
I'm happy we get to experience Copenhagen through your pictures 😊
Thank you for this post

It's such a colorful city. I love it
Wow! It's so amazing. I love traveling too. How I wish I can go there.
I wish it for you to 😁🙏
Denmark looks awesome.
I have a few Danish friends here in Guatemala.
Actually my local spot is owned and operated by a guy from many hours north of Copenhagen and his partner is from Copenhagen
Sad to see as society breaks down further that it continues promote one sexuality over another but that is an entire different discussion. LOL

As long as there is no equality, it will remain necessary for a while!
Equality meaning what exactly?
33% straight, 33% bi 33% gay?
Usually equality really means special rights as no two people are equal as are no two flowers or snowflakes.
Everything is special in this realm we live.
But as long as there ar gay couples ben haresed of beaten up just becaus they hold hands in the streets this is necessary! It's not hard to understand wright?
I thought you people had laws against assault?
They should create and enforce a law to protect people from being beaten up.
Do straight people never get assaulted in Denmark?
Or are you looking for a special law to protect a particular class of people?
By definition special laws for special classes of people is not equality.
Since I know you have laws against assault in Denmark then they should enforce it instead creating worse punishment for thought crime.
We do have laws abouy assault as any other Europe country :p and straight people get attacked aswell.
Properly more straight people get attacked if we look at the numbers right.
On equality, I think he meant having the same quality of life as straight people ^^
There are no speciation laws. This is just to remind the narrow minded people that they need to do better. And straight people don't get beaten up because they are straight....! You really don't get that?
Did you understand my last reaction? Straight people don't get beat up because they are straight! 🤷?
No, I did not understand your last reaction.
Yes, I have seen people attacked at Pride events for being straight.
Amazing pictures! a place I've been wanting to go to for a long time, it looks so amazing, I have no doubt that being there is an incredible experience.
Go there, it such a nice city!
Wow - what a fantastic place, and your pictures are great too !

Thank you so much 🙏
Wowww your photos are so beautiful!! I love how the colors reflect in the water😍. And you're right, that museum looked so nice, especially I liked how they painted the walls and stairs. Loved it!!
Thank you so much! Tja rate reflection was difficult! It was so dark
Ooooh wowww then extra kudos for that 👏👏👏👏
Those are some great memories you took back home :) ... It probably would have been nice to see those lights from one of those boats, if they went for a tour later in the day!

That would be a nice one. But I am from the Netherlands so boats are not that special for me any more🙈
Still, it would be a good angle to work from :) ...

These reflection houses in the water with boats, like the business card of this city😍 look surprisingly cozy through your camera. I think that your sacrifice @haastrecht, being in a noisy city, is worth those shots. An unreal mysterious raid on rainbowre flections houses, . And a very bright botanical experience. On the contrary, I think that you, managed to photograph butterflies very successfully 😍
Bright and hot in that garden 😅 Thank you for the compliments 🙏
Thanks for sharing this amazing post. Very colourful, especially with it being Pride week, very apt. Must visit the city one day.
