Frederiksberg

Every Wednesday I partake in something I like to call "cultural Wednesdays." Cultural Wednesdays was formed after various discussions with friends about how we'd been in Copenhagen for a couple months but hadn't really seen much of it.

So for about a month now, a friend and I have met up every Wednesday to explore different parts of the city. Whether it be a trip to a museum, or a park, after every excursion I feel like I have gotten to know Copenhagen better and I fall in love with it even more.

This past week I visited a beautiful park beloved by locals and tourists alike. This park is also the site of a larger pacifier tree than the one in the park behind the Statens Museum for Kunst. Frederiksberg park is situated on the edge of Copenhagen which gives it a rural feel and provides an escape from the busyness of downtown. I know that Frederiksberg will be a favourite place of mine to relax on a sunny day with a good book, good food and good company. Nevertheless, it's nice to know that the busyness of downtown will still be there when I crave some excitement.

{so much green}

{strange trees and people out lounging}

{such a colourful duck!}

{a daisy. A flower that I love and the symbol of Danish women}

And then I came across the original pacifier tree. I couldn't get over how many pacifiers and heart-felt notes were dangling from its branches!
