I don't do much architecture photography, but this year: "Copenhagen has been appointed World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO-UIA".

I rarely cross the bridge, "Langebro" (Long bridge), from where these shots was taken and this stretch of the Copenhagen harbour area has changed since last time. 

The cyclist/pedestrian bridge in the front is called "Lille Langebro" (Small Long bridge). Quote from VisitCopenhagen:
"Some 10,000 cyclists bike the bridge each day, ..., more people take the bike than the car to work or studies in Copenhagen."     

In the foreground to the left, "Blox", finished in 2018. It's the home of the Danish Architecture Center. Quote: "Throughout the year, BLOX will be the epicenter of the celebrations" (World Capital of Architecture). 

In the background in the center, "Den Sorte Diamant" (The black diamond) - one of my favourite contemporary buildings in Copenhagen. Quote: "..an extension to the Royal Library". ".. the building was finished in 1999 and is nicknamed 'the Black Diamond' for its shiny irregular facets on the outside that mirror the sea and sky."

+ a bridge tower on Langebro from the 1950s. Not the best angle.

Z7 + Z 24-70/4.

Many thanks, Thomas - I'm glad you like them. Copenhagen has certainly changed since I was in that area, and I also need to come back. One place I need to visit is "Papirøen" - the Paper Island - to see the recent architecture that has "popped up" close to the national opera house. I'll wait until the construction work has finished and the crane has been removed ;D
If you are curious: https://paperisland.dk/the-architecture/

This is a crop of one of the former images - to the left is the front of the opera and to the right some of the recent architecture on the Paper island.

Architectural detail; Local private school, in between buildings. EXIF is wrong, not 28mm...I think it was the 80-200/4 AiS.

 That arrange of lines, planes and textures makes for a quasi-abstraction. Works very well for me!

One of Carlsberg's buildings in Copenhagen - nicknamed Folkevognsbygningen - The Volkswagen building. The reason for its nickname is the discs that are coated with gold leaf - the rumor was that the cost of each disc was the same as a Volkswagen when it was built in 1969.
   
Named Lagerkælder 3, Storehouse cellar 3, originally a storehouse for beer in large horisontal storage tanks. The brewers nicknamed it The castle. It's now a hotel.

Both look really unique.  Thank you for sharing!
