The elusive tower

I haven’t yet finished my Christiansborg Palace gallery, but as I took this photo from there, am posting it now. I kept seeing this spectacular tower from all over the area and tried many times to photograph it, but without good success. While we were touring the royal Reception Rooms at Christiansborg, I looked out a window, and there it was in perfect view, even with a blue sky and something nice in front of it. We subsequently found the tower, and it turns out it was a church that had been sold and turned into an art space.

It definitely dominates the cityscape in this capture. Beautiful tower. I'm glad it's found a new use. V.

A very colourful cityscape, Helen. I often find with tightly packed, old cities it is very difficult to get a good line of sight on some buildings. Those ancient town planners should have thought ahead!
