Travel Photo of the Day (September 6)

Posted on September 6, 2012 by TBM

On the grounds of the Citadel in Copenhagen I saw this windmill and cannon. For some reason, it struck me as an odd pairing, but still quaint.

  My travel guide only mentioned the windmill on the Citadel grounds, but didn’t give much history about the connection unfortunately.

Is the cannon protecting the windmill? Doesn’t matter, they look like they were made for each other, the colors and textures appeal to the eye.

  That’s a good question…does the windmill need protection 🙂
