Copper

In the area of the city where DIS is there is a LOT of copper. It seems like every building has some sort of copper decoration on it. I think it goes to show how luxurious this part of the city is because copper is not cheap. The trains also run on copper and one of my professors told me that there are actually copper thieves who steal the cables that make the trains run. I can't decide if walking on a train track or scaling a roof is less risky.

Here are the photos I took of the copper embellishments on buildings in this area.


These two pictures are a fountain in a square on Vestegade, which is the main street that DIS has buildings on.

I don't know what a lot of these buildings are (some are obvious like the clock tower below) but they all have the copper theme.








 This wolf is on a beautiful brick library (a lot of things are made of brick here and nothing is built of wood)/


I really love these lions. They are in the same square as the fountain.

I'm fairly sure this is a church, but this is as close as I got to it (not very).

Beautiful Parliament! This is called Christiansborg Slot and was once inhabited by a king of Denmark but is now used as the Parliament building. It's very cool because you can just walk inside without anyone looking twice at you. Inside it's all marble and there are no guards, metal detectors, or people giving you bug eyes.

Also part of the Parliament

I'm not sure what this building is but the spire is absolutely beautiful
