View from the Bella Sky Hotel (walkway between the two towers). Lots of wind turbines.

Classic canal in Copenhagen. Commonly shown in postcards.

The original Christus, sculpted by Thorvaldsen.

Brian in front of the Bella Sky Hotel.

Guards in front of one of the buildings at Amalienborg Palace.

Changing of the guards. This apparently happens on the even hours, which we didn't know. We were literally wandering around the city and happened upon this place, and the guards changed while we were there.

The Little Mermaid. Major tourist trap, it's really not that cool.

I don't remember for sure, but I think this was taken on the cruise. I believe we were sailing past wind turbines placed in the water near Denmark (those white lines behind us).

Brian in front of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn, Estonia. We were happy to see onion domes. :)

One of the "joke fountains" at Peterhof (which is easier to say than Petrodvorets). It was a tree with several flowers surrounding it. Cute.

Brian and me in front of the main fountain at Peterhof. They had this awesome sort of ceremony to start all the fountains in the morning. (It wasn't really a ceremony, but there were thousands of people gathered to watch as a loud anthem played when the fountains turned on.)

Brian in front of the Copenhagen Temple. We took the metro to the right part of town and had a nice little jog to get the rest of the way there. It seems to be right in the middle of a neighborhood. We had a good chat with a member who came up to talk to us when we were wandering around the grounds. This was apparently his stake center before they renovated it to be the temple.

 
These are pictures from our trip. We enjoyed it.
