Picture of the Day, Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark -- July, 2011

Yay! Once of my favorite pictures of us on our trip! Aren't we adorable. This is north of Copenhagen, actually, but close enough :p. Rasmus has told me more than once that the blue of the sea next to the bright green of the trees reminds him of their national anthem (it's the translation on Wikipedia, so not as pretty as the original, I imagine):

There is a lovely country

it stands with broad beeches

near the salty eastern beach

It winds itself in hill, valley,

it is called old Denmark

and it is Freja's hall.

There sat in former times,

the armour-suited warriors,

rested from conflict

Then they went forward to the enemies' injury,

now their bones are resting

behind the mound's menhir.

That country is still lovely,

because the sea waves so blue frolic,

and the foliage stands so green

And noble women, beautiful maidens,

and men and brisk swains

inhabit the Danes' islands.

Hail king and fatherland!

Hail every a Dane-citizen,

who works, what he can

Our old Denmark shall endure,

as long as the beech reflects

its top in the blue wave.
