Thursday doors – 1 May 2025 – Copenhagen doors, Denmark

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.
