Helsingor in Denmark - a quick shot perched on a rock while visiting the castle there, which is supposedly the inspiration for Hamlet.
I am posting and running, again. Just a quick input for anyone who hasn't given up on me - I've just started my own business full time - so my hands are full!

This photograph reminded me to crop aggressively. It's a great thing to keep in mind. In all corners of life. /Christian, 2020-11-05
Elsinor o Helsingør es una ciudad portuaria del noroeste de Selandia, Dinamarca, situada en la parte más estrecha del Øresund, frente a la ciudad sueca de Helsingborg. Tenia 46.300 habitantes en 2012.
Por su situación estratégica en el Øresund, Elsinor fue desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XIX un lugar de control de la monarquía danesa sobre el comercio marítimo entre el Mar del Norte y el Mar Báltico que le aportó grandes ingresos económicos.
El castillo de Kronborg, destinado a reafirmar ese control, es el principal monumento de la ciudad y es más conocido a nivel internacional por ser el escenario de la tragedia Hamlet, de William Shakespeare.
Helsingor
Dopo la visita al Kronborg Slot abbiamo deciso di dedicarci alla ricerca di un posto dove mangiare, ma i bar lungo il porticciolo di Helsingor non ci hanno entusiasmato. Quindi, giusto il tempo di una foto alle barche ormeggiate e partenza per la tappa successiva.
This nice old set of entrance doors (or exit) access the Helsingor Central Train Station.
The main entrance is flanked by marble columns. The room facing the sea, which now houses a restaurant, originally served as private chambers for the royal family.
In 1984, DSB embarked on a comprehensive restoration of the station building. It included new tiles in the original patterns on floors and exposure and restoration of the original decorations on walls and cealings. The work was completed in 1987, and the main building including the platform roofs was listed in 1990.
Schloss Kronborg (dänisch Kronborg Slot) ist eine Festung in Helsingør auf der dänischen Insel Seeland. Kronborg liegt auf einer Landzunge am äußersten nordöstlichen Ende der Insel Seeland. Nur etwa vier Kilometer von der schwedischen Küste bei Helsingborg entfernt, bewacht die Festung die Einfahrt in den Öresund. Bekannt ist das Schloss auch als „Hamletschloss“, da William Shakespeare hier die Handlung seines Schauspiels Hamlet ansiedelte.
Kronborg is a castle and stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalized as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe and has been added to UNESCO's World Heritage Sites list (2000).
The castle is situated on the extreme northeastern tip of the island of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Øresund, the sound between present Denmark and the provinces of present Sweden that were also Danish at the time the castle was built.
