Goodbye Hopenhagen

Now that the Copenhagen Climate Conference is more or less over, I thought I would post some more photos of some of the different displays that Copenhagen set-up for the conference. Some of them were sponsored by the municipal government, others by Non-Governmental Organizations, and others by private individuals or organizations.

At Gammeltorv, right by DIS, the World Wildlife Fund set up a melting Polar Bear, made of ice, which revealed its skeleton as it melted. I will let you interpret the symbolism…

On the same square, there was also a photo display from Peru. They were very interesting, and well taken, photographs.

All of the protests and activity made the Copenhagen Police rather edgy. I have never seen this many in the city before, it was like the DNC in Denver last year.

On the National Cathedral...

As expected, there were also a lot of un-authorized postings around the city.

Finally, I leave you with my most confusing photo. I have no idea what this was, but it was set up for about two weeks, and had postings about auditions for something…
