Old crane

We decided to do the real tourist thing and take a tour of the harbor and canals. It was quite scenic and started out in beautiful weather, although it suddenly clouded up and started to pour. Then it hailed. Then the sun came out as we returned to the dock. Crazy weather in Copenhagen!

This was a shot from the tour boat of an old crane across the harbor used to fit masts on to ships. I never was able to get close to it, although it had fascinated me since the first time I saw it from our hotel, so this is drastically cropped.

Another common sight on the cruise:


Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
