The Riviera of the Nordic region

CPH1_-278Hop one of the convenient trains from the central train station in Copenhagen and an hour later you’ll be visiting the town of Helsingor in Northern Zealand. CPH1_-145Kulturhavn Kronborg is an area dedicated to the arts, live music, theatre and art all play a part in the culture of the region. CPH1_-134This fish sculpture is made entirely out of garbage found in the bay.  Look clsely and you’ll find everything from plastic beach pails to hubcaps to watering cans to children’s toys. All items that were tossed in the water and retrieved for art. CPH1_-135The narrow cobblestone streets are perfect from exploring on foot or on bike. CPH1_-142Han, Danish for Him, is the little brother of Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid. Artists Elmgreen & Dragset use the same pose as his more famous sibling, but he has 2 legs instead of a tail.  If you watch closely, Han’s eyes blink for a split second once every hour as he stares out into the harbor.CPH1_-143
