Copenhagen: City of Bicycles
Photo Essay written 28 February 2008
In Copenhagen, bicycles are used by locals and tourists.
Bikes at the Copenhagen Train Station
Bicycle parking appears endless at the central train station in Copenhagen. Many bikes sport baskets and/or child seats to make them convenient for everyday errands and transportation.

Changing of the Guard
Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark, was born in Amalienborg Palace. When she took the throne in 1972, she became the first female sovereign of Denmark. Traveling with a young teenage daughter, the daily changing of the guard – combined with the possibility of a glimpse of the Queen, or better yet, one of the two Danish Princes – made Amalienborg Palace a favorite place in Copenhagen. Following the ceremony, the guards parade to their nearby barracks.

Behind the Bullocks
Tourists travel to the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala, India in hopes of seeing exotic wildlife. While there, we were offered quite a different opportunity: to travel by bullock cart through a nearby valley, a program conducted by a community of reformed sandalwood smugglers. With smiles, nods, and pointing fingers as the primary tools of communication, we were treated to tastes of tamarinds, the smell of jasmine, and evolving scenes of village life that will remain as memorable as any elusive game sighting.
