National Library. Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles.
The Black Diamond is an extension to the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was drawn by the Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects in 1993 and stood completed in 1999. For more information, visit The Black Diamond.
Incredibly, although I have lived in Copenhagen all my life, I have never visited this architectural gem, which I think is a fitting term for its name. The shots were taken handheld from the bridge at the top level of the building's concourse. I wanted to freeze all motion as much as possible but also get as much as possible in focus so I went for a higher ISO. In hindsight I think I went overboard with the ISO setting and hence the shutter speed but still, the shots did come out ok I think. I have experimented with a few versions of the two different shots. I can't quite decide which ones i like the most, but I am leaning towards the B&W ones.
What do you think?
One more thing: I tried to use a polarizer to reduce the glare from the glass but when I did so I got a weird blue-ish effect on the windows to the outside. Could this be because they have some sort of coating to keep out heat / keep in heat?

Black & White shot of the Black Diamond - an extension to the Royal Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen.
Apart from its function as a library, the building houses a number of other public facilities and activities, most of which are located around the central, toplit atrium which cuts into the building with a huge glazed front facing the harbour. The facilities include a 600-seat auditorium, the Queen's Hall, used for concerts—mainly chamber music and jazz—literary events, theatrical performances and conferences. There are also exhibition spaces, a bookshop, a restaurant, a café and a roof terrace. Two museums are based in the Black Diamond, the National Museum of Photography and a small museum dedicated to cartoon art.

Le nouveau bâtiment de la Bibliothèque royale du Danemark, contigu au premier, conçu par les architectes Schmidt Hammer Lassen, ouvre en 1999. On l'appelle couramment « le diamant noir » (Den sorte diamant), en raison des dalles de marbre noir et du verre fumé qui en forme l'enveloppe extérieure.

'Black Diamond' Copenhagen
The Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen
Schmidt Hammer Lassen architects
Contains a library, concert hall, bookshop, café, exhibition space and restaurant. Central to the building is a large atrium that cuts from one side to the other.
I warn you now it's probably going to get a bit random round here for a little while. Having just finished uploading photos from my Summer trip to Poland I've quite a backlog of all sorts of varied things including this square format crop reworking of a shot of the Black Diamond in Copenhagen.
Anyone else see a touch of the '2001 : Space Odyssey' Black Monolith in this ?

From Wikipedia : "The Black Diamond (Danish: Den Sorte Diamant) is a modern waterfront extension to the Royal Danish Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles. Designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the Black Diamond was completed in 1999 as the first in a series of large-scale cultural buildings along Copenhagen's waterfront.
Apart from its function as a library, the building houses a number of other public facilities and activities, most of which are located around the central, toplit atrium which cuts into the building with a huge glazed front facing the harbour. The facilities include a 600-seat auditorium, the Queen's Hall, used for concerts—mainly chamber music and jazz—literary events, theatrical performances and conferences.

Street Photography Copenhagen 27/10 2016 - The new bridge in Copenhagen harbour for pededistrians and biking people.
Cirkelbroen (The Circle Bridge) connects the areas around Copenhagen Harbour
In august 2015, the pedestrian bridge Cirkelbroen opened for public use. Here, it makes everyday life easier for Copenhagen’s biking commuters as it connects Copenhagen area Christiansbro and Appelbys Plads. The bridge consists of five differently sized circular platforms, each with its own mast, and it is from these circular platforms, the name of the bridge arises.
Besides the obvious functional benefit of the harbour’s new architectural landmark, the beautiful design with the five masts resembles a ship by the quay as a reference to Copenhagen’s shipping history.
Cirkelbroen encourages bicycles and pedestrians to reduce their speed and just take a small break, but on a larger scale, the circle refers to the circle drawn by inner city of Copenhagen, which the bridge helps to complete by connecting the Christiansbro area to Appelbys Plads.
Behind the design of the bridge is world-renowned and award-winning Danish-Islandic Olafur Eliasson. During his career as an artist, he has held solo exhibitions in Copenhagen, New York and Berlin among many other places, and of course, he has made many installations, artworks and architectural design all over the world, now including Cirkelbroen.
