This is a door in Christiania, the separatist community located in the middle of Copenhagen. In the 60's the military abandoned a number of buildings located a little west of Christiansborg, the parliament building. A group of hippies took over the buildings, located between two canals, and formed a small country within a country. The hippies aged and had children that were raised in Christiania. They erected homes that defy all Danish ideas of housing and started restaurants to bring in visitors. They erected a gate that advises people departing Christiania "You are now entering the EU."
Despite a lot of political criticism, Christiania still exists and has become quite the tourist magnet. Large dogs roam, unimpeded by leashes and the architecture continues to be interesting. Located on what today is prime real estate, feelings towards the settlement are quite volatile. Young people love the idea of a separatist state in the middle of the capitol city, while those who pay Danish property taxes, look at the area with disgust.
This door, on an old military building, is quite characteristic of the area. Most of Denmark is made up of neat and tidy doors with clean and simple door stoops, while Christiania's doors are all different and all unique. |

Hi Kate.
I am not sure about my thoughts for this place but your photography here is a very good, colorful capture and well composed!
The patterns on the sides make an excellent tribute to the overall feeling.
Have a nice weekend.
Kind regards, Jan
Hello Kate.
I found this delightful doorway picture by following your name in a critique that I read. The note is really interesting in explaining the background to the photo. Looking at it, it seems on one hand as neat as a pin, but there are just a few signs of unitidiness that give it character. I don't know how I would react to the area if I visited it, but this photo is very appealing with its bright colours, light and shadow, and perfect sharpness in the details. A nice shot.
And now... will TE allow me to upload this comment?
Regards,
Andrew

Bela compoiscão, cores e enquadramento nesta foto de uma simples porta. Gosto muito de registrar portas também. Parecem possuir uma espécie de encanto que me atrai. Bom trabalho Kate.
I'm planning to visit Christiania before going home, and I'm just really wondering how you manage to get a picture? I thought they don't want outsiders taking pictures as if their place is a tourists attraction? But of course, the picture is good and nice colors.
