Sidewalk scenes in Copenhagen — Ruby (Red) Tuesday —


Please click on any picture for a better view of what we saw






Walking pictures. The yacht above is private.
You helped pay for it buying Microsoft ware.

Octopus is currently the world's ninth largest super yacht, owned by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, to whom she was delivered in 2003. Octopus is the third largest super yacht that is not owned by a head of state, measuring 414 feet (126 m), and at the time it was built, was believed to be the biggest such yacht.

It carries two helicopters on board. (

  1. Love the yacht. One of the co-owners of our marina has a 105 foot yacht named Flipper. It's this yachts dinghy. Good grief 400+ feet is huge.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

  2. I think I saw that yacht in Savannah once. I wondered whose it was. I figured an Emir or something.

  4. Hello Jim, can you hear me over in Abbey Road?
    I see from your pictures you liked Copenhagen, like most people do.
    The Danish are known for their love of good food and a "little" to go with.
    Of course you know that when a person is sculptured on a horse with his (the horses') four hoofs planted on earth, that means he died in bed.
    If the statue shows a horse stalling, you are looking at a man (always men), who died on the battlefield.
    You better check up England's history while you are there.
    Another peculiar thing. Wellington's horse was named Copenhagen.
    Enjoy.

  7. Copenhagen is a charming city of stone construction and pavement, centuries (instead of decades old), of impeccable craftsmanship. Such beauty from an era of kings...

  10. You know that Paul Allen is our neighbor? He lives on Lopez Island, just a short ferry ride from Friday Harbor.

  13. Hello Jim - It was a lovely cruise and I still delight in the fact that we ran into you almost every day on a ship of almost 3,000 passengers. Do you remember? We met you on the first day in the Horizon Court.
