Rådhus

On Saturday Jared was able to come with us for our sight-seeing and we decided to have the first stop be the Rådhus (Copenhagen's City Hall). Jared was most interested in seeing Jens Olsen's world clock which tells local, solar time, sidereal time, sunrise, sunset, pole migrations, planet revolutions, the gregorian calendar, and even changing holidays such as Easter.

I thought that this stained glass window of the city's crest was pretty cool...

The highlight of the trip for me was climbing the clock tower which is 105m high and 300 steps! Some of those spiral staircases were so tight I was a bit dizzy by the time we reached the top.

Here is some of the clock tower mechanism. I'm not sure if this was keeping time on the clock or in charge of ringing the bells--probably the clock I guess.
Here's the view from the top--well, in one direction anyway! From the other side of the tower there was a view of Tivoli and the rest of the downtown area.
