Doors 305 – Copenhagen, Denmark (part V), September 2024
Life is flashing by. April is over, and we are saying farewell to the first third of 2025. Unusually, we have had a pretty dry start to the year in England, especially March and April, and are experiencing summer temperatures this week, which is both delightful and worrying in equal measure.
I managed to spend an unseasonably warm few days in Copenhagen last September whilst on a city break with my mother. Perhaps ‘unseasonably warm’ or ‘biblical rainfall’ or ‘beast from the east’ are terms we will hear more and more frequently as we hurtle towards climate breakdown. I hope not, but it somehow feels like humanity has reached the age of stupid.
This week’s selection from Copenhagen are from the Kastelette citadel area to the northeast of the city and close to the most famous icon of all Denmark, the little mermaid statue, which is where I was heading for when I took these photographs. Here we go…
So there it is, this week’s Thursday Doors post has melted away as quickly as the year so far has. Still more to come from Copenhagen next time… and the time after that…
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

There’s so much to like in this group, Steve. I love the windmill. What a fantastic structure. I always like seeing three-panel doors, with their disproportionate spacing. I’ve built three sets of doors like that for utility structures. The green door with the perch is fascinating. I’ve never seen anything like that. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you, Dan – I have puzzled about that perch – several doors in that area had them.

😍And it is one of those laugh/cry things, but now I’m imagining school texts of the future. We’ll have the Iron Age, the Industrial Age… etc. And then the Age of Stupid.

I think there was a film about Climate Change called the Age of Stupid, and I’ve got a feeling that an old school friend of mine was the producer.

It’s an all too apt phrase. And if you think you’ve got stupid in the UK, just gaze westward…

Wonderful gallery Stephen. I am enjoying your photo essay and the great sunshine you captured of Copenhagen. Love the windmill it is a charming sight.
The three panel door is quite unique as an outer door. Love the door and the whole frame of your photo with the roses bushes and the doors. Great share. Thank you!

Is that a reflection of the church in the photo above it? I like the fragments of what’s across the street reflected in the windows. I had to laugh, though ruefully, at your comment about “the age of stupid.” Either it looms close or we’re already in it. Won’t our descendants thank us!

Good spot – yes, that is the church. Our descendants will think we lost our minds…
