The Marble Church and the Botanical Gardens

Hey! I know its been awhile since I've added any new pictures, but frankly time is of the essence this past week. Lots of homework due, on top of studio. Anyway, I recently went to the botanical gardens located in the city center. Its still dead of winter, so the outside was mainly dead plants, but inside The Glass House was a thriving rainforest. When I say rainforest, I mean they had water misting out on top of the plants, and they actually dripped down on us like rain. The humidity was up to around 80 percent, so you can imagine walking from a 25 degree, 10-20% humidity exterior to that. Needless to say, it was hot and muggy. My camera lens fogged over, so I started using it to my potential. I took lots of pictures, so this is only a few of them. You can see the rest by clicking on the Botanical Gardens link on the right.






















Just this past Wednesday I had the opportunity to journey to the Marble Church, or Fredrik's Kirkke as it is properly known. It is an amazing church, based on the design of the The Duomo in Florence. The dome is round, not segmented, but the interior is said to be an almost exact replica. I haven't been to The Duomo yet, but I plan to go there over break. The Marble Church was one of the most amazing feelings I've had while in Denmark. You really feel humbled as soon as you walk in. However, I'll let the pictures do the talking. As with the gardens, there is a link to the full list of pictures to the right.
