I'm 90% certain this was Copenhagen. Why? Because I think I recognize it. :-) I had to stop here on my way back from Sweden, before getting a train to Hamburg, and then to Prague.

I took this after I got back to Copenhagen, and I noticed the writing on this guy's bike trailer. :-) He was from Christiania. :-)

The Kastellet has a moat fed by Copenhagen harbor, so once I found good place to shoot a photo from I got this. I really like the reflection and the stillness of the water on this one.

Some of the cannons are still in place on the parapet around the Kastellet. I can't tell which ones still work and which ones don't, but this one at least has a cap on the barrel.

Okay, so the trash can isn't too historic. I didn't notice that when I was taking this.

This appeared to be offices, and when I arrived a soldier was actually about to go on his rounds of the Kastellet, although I didn't get his picture. It surprised me, actually, that this place is still manned, as it seems to possess no military purpose, and is a relatively minor tourist attraction.

I like the composition of this shot more than anything. It doesn't have too much else in the way of significance.

Many of the buildings in the Kastellet are just ordinary houses like these. The yellow one is the officers' quarters.

Having been built in the 1600s means that the Kastellet doesn't look like a castle, exactly, but more like a barracks or low-rent neighborhood. By that I don't mean to say that it's rundown, as it certainly isn't.
