We woke up to chilly weather. The wind was up and the temperature was in the 50's. Leslie started her Zumba playlist and I bundled up and did a 3 mile speed walk around the neighborhood. Later we headed to the Tivoli for two different concerts. Wednesday is Jazz night at the Tivoli and we watched Mathias Heise a Danish jazz musician and composer. He plays a mean harmonica and along with the band they played a Swedish themed set. All the songs were either Swedish compositions or played in the style of a Swedish version of a jazz standard. I missed some of the show while searching for my Shawarma dinner. Then it was off to the Koncertsal for a full symphonic treatment of Holst's "Planets" and a suite of "Star Wars" music. It was presented by the Lyngby-Taarbaek Symfoniorkester a huge 90 person ensemble. Give or take a few musicians, we think that there were 93 folks up on stage at one point. I counted 15 bass and celloists. 38 violinists, 6 percussionists, 2 harpists, 4 oboe players, 1 tuba player, 4 flutists, 6 French horns, one contrabassoon, 3 bassoons, 3 trombones, 4 trumpets. What a great time!
This window cleaner is working hard with this huge long tool
On my walk I saw this huge staircase
Walking over the railroad tracks
Bike lanes with signals
A pool that is still too chilly to swim in
Bike only bridge
Tents for the soccer tourney and the midsummers eve celebration
This bridge is bikes and pedestrians
Half way across the bridge
Switches for lighting?
The Japanese Flag
The Embassy is here
White peacock at Tivoli
A beat up regular peacock
He was making eyes at the female in the cage
A bubble fountain
The food court is in this building
The Pantomime theater
We will be back to watch this entire show
What is he saying?
Nice hat
Looking for the Shawarma shop
Mathias Heise with the harmonica is the man in red
A good band
Cool ceiling in the Shawarma shop
So many folks on stage
So many violins
A magnificent show
The fountains are flowing
Two busses were lined up taking people to an open air heavy metal music festival
The 666 bus is going to Copenhell!
Save us all!
