Sunset more advanced at Les Andelys

Copenhagen again - Denmark, pt. III

Here are some more pictures from Copenhagen, showing the modernist Knippelsbro bridge and the National Bank designed by Arne Jacobsen as his last major work before his death in 1971. It didn't open until 1978. The second picture is of the largest new build in Copenhagen, the Opera House which opened a few years ago and was built using a large grant from the A.P. Møller Foundation. The building was designed by Henning Larsen, another of the great Danish architects. The third, and final, picture in this batch shows the Danish flag, Dannebrog, over the Sixtus Battery at the entry to the harbour. This is the official Danish flag, which all others must copy.

Sunset shots from Hong Kong

These photos were both taken at the Star Ferry terminal on the Kowloon side. See post below for further details. For those anoraks interested in that sort of thing, the cruise ship in the photos is the Costa Allegra.
The tall building on the left of the top picture is the number 2 building at IFC (International Finance Centre), known as 2IFC, which at 415 m - or 1,362 ft - is Hong Kong's tallest skyscraper. It will retain this crown until 2010 when they finish construction on the International Commerce Centre.

Junk at sunset in Hong Kong harbour

This shot was taken at the Star Ferry terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST), Kowloon. It is right next to Harbour City and the Ocean Terminal. I used my Sigma 18 - 200mm lens zoomed fully in to capture the junk as it was sailing past buildings on Hong Kong island while I could also capture the sun in between the buildings. I hope you like this shot.
