The Rundetårn is a peculiar tower in central København that, among other things, provides a great view of the city's spires. The tower was built with a continuous circular ramp that allowed Christian IV's carriage to go all the way to the top. The ramp is pretty steep and without breaks, and I just have to wonder if there was ever a mishap when the carriage started going back down out of control.It seems like dawn and dusk are one and the same during the month of June. This photo was taken on a clear night at 11pm. Off in the far distance is Øresund Bridge, the link between Malmö, Sweden and København. The spiral tower is Vor Frelsers on Christianshavn. The glass roof is Magasin, a nice department store smack in the center of town. And I am ashamed to say that I don't know the tower in the foreground. Anyone out there care to help me identify it?
