Research trip to Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009
The streets of Copenhagen.
More of Copenhagen.
Fredericksburg Castle in Denmark.
Me in front of a fountain inside the castle courtyard.
The church inside the castle.
On the walls of the castle are the coats of arms of all who have been
granted the Order of the Elephant, the highest order in Denmark. I'm
standing next to the coat of arms of Niels Bohr, the Danish physicist and
Nobel laureate. Niels Bohr is one of the few people awarded the order who
is neither royal born nor a foreign head of state. Bohr designed his own
coat of arms, which features a yin-yang and the Latin motto "contraria
sunt complementa", meaning "opposites are complementary".
Me at the math department at the University of Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, placed in the Copenhagen harbor in honor of the fairy tale by
Hans Christian Andersen.
