Parking

Parking spaces reserved for handicapped peoples cars are marked by a wheelchair symbol. People allowed to use these parking spaces have a sign in their front window with the blue/white wheelchair symbol.
There have been reports of thieves breaking in to cars to steal these signs, so they themselves can use these spaces. It is a sad world, sometimes.

Extreme advertising

This is a taxi from the company Vest-Taxa operating mainly in the western part of the Copenhagen area.
It is common to have full body advertising on taxis, like this one.

Danish national sport

Flea markets (danish: loppemarked) is very popular. Some sites have ongoing fleamarkets running every weekend, whereas others just throw the occasional flea makret, when they want to clean out their storage.

No, it's not in jail

This dog (danish: hund) was looking through the gate on bypassers out in the street. Like in most western countries, dogs (and cats) are common pets in Denmark.

Creating work? :-)

This ambulance is not really chasing down the elder citizien seen in front of it. It is just in the process of turning around and going backwards down the driveway to the left.
Ambulances in Denmark are usually red/white and flourescent orange, some though are marked with flourescent green/yellow (for instance Copenhagen Fire Department).
This ambulance is from the company Falck which runs most ambulances and fire and rescue operations in Denmark.

Out in the country

This is the driveway to the house, where my sister used to live. We are way out in the country here. But it is a very beautiful place, and quite a nice driveway.
