Day 4. Courtyards.

The view from my apartment, which was built in 1911, looks much like the view from any Copenhagen flat. Although they're built in separate sections, buildings usually come together in a square design. The outer façades crowd the sidewalks and streets and the inner ones face a quiet courtyard.

Inside are a few coveted private parking spots for cars and a whole number of spots for bikes, Copenhagen's transport mode of choice. It's also a common space for the many families inhabiting the surrounding residences, and I often see a young family watching on as their toddler squeals in the grass. The yellow building with red trim is my favorite; it's opposite façade is a deep red brick.
