København, From Above

Copenhagen unfolded beneath me like a carefully painted map. Terracotta rooftops glowed in the afternoon sun while clouds drifted lazily above the harbour, giving the city a calm, almost dreamlike rhythm. Standing high above the streets, camera in hand, I was struck by the balance of history and modern life woven together across the skyline. It felt less like visiting a capital city and more like quietly observing a living story from above.
