Was over in Denmark two weeks ago with my brother, nephew and his wife. Roskilde Airshow was the destination. My first airshow ever and I have to say I was hooked. Breathtaking aerial displays by skilled pilots in all kinds of planes, big and small, fast and even faster, better looking and some less sleek. There were a few thousand photographs for me and certainly even more for all the other photographers who were there with their more or less astronomical lenses 😆. As I said, my first show and I only had an idea of what to expect so there are a lot of "beginner photos" ☺️. Anyway, here's a little taste.... 😇😀

Roskilde, Denmark
(a 3-shot panorama)
Roskilde Cathedral is the place where most of the monarchs of Denmark have been burried. This includes the viking Harald Bluetooth, second king of Denmark. It is after him, the technology Bluetooth is named.
Roskilde Palæ was built in 1733. Today it serves as the seat of the bishop. Occasionally it is also used by the royal family in connection with royal funerals in the adjacent cathedral.

Roskilde Cathedral (Danish: Roskilde Domkirke), in the city of Roskilde on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark, is a cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Denmark. The first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick, it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe. Constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the cathedral incorporates both Gothic and Romanesque architectural features in its design. Until the 20th century, it was Zealand's only cathedral. Its twin spires dominate the skyline of the town.
The cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. As such, it has been significantly extended and altered over the centuries to accommodate a considerable number of burial chapels. Following the Danish Reformation in 1536, the bishop's residence was moved to Copenhagen while the title was changed to Bishop of Zealand. Coronations normally took place in Copenhagen's Church of Our Lady or in the chapel of Frederiksborg Palace.
The cathedral is a major tourist attraction, bringing in over 125,000 visitors annually. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A working church, it also hosts concerts throughout the year.

La catedral de Roskilde es una de las atracciones principales de la ciudad de Roskilde, en Dinamarca. Era la iglesia principal de la antigua diócesis de Roskilde antes de la aparición del luteranismo.
Esta catedral, de estilo gótico, se construyó en la Edad Media entre el siglo XII y el siglo XIII. Enteramente construida en ladrillo rojo, fue la causa de la propagación de este estilo en el Norte de Europa.
Aquí tienen sepultura la mayoría de los reyes y reinas de Dinamarca, y fue por esto adaptada a los gustos de los distintos tiempos hasta el siglo XX, mediante ampliaciones laterales menores: porches y capillas. Eso hace de esta catedral un friso cronológico de la evolución de la arquitectura de los edificios cristianos en la Europa del Norte.
A partir de 1413, los monarcas daneses se enterraron en esta catedral. En total, hay 20 reyes y 17 reinas, en cuatro diferentes capillas, en el corazón de la catedral, o también en tumbas exteriores.
La catedral de Roskilde fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1995.

(I've been going through my back folders. This was taken last year in fact, but it seems appropriate for a snow day)
