Copenhagen is full of canals, something I didn't realize at all. When you go there, and you should, you need to take a canal tour. It takes about an hour and there is a guide explaining what you are photographing, or, if you are Will and not like me, just looking at. We started off in the morning, one of the first tours actually. It was us and three other ladies. It started off quite chilly, but when the sun finally broke through the clouds, it warmed up and was a great morning for seeing Copenhagen by water.
