Old Copenhagen


I came across this long YouTube video showing how Copenhagen looked like in 1934.

The major differences between then and now, is that we no longer have trams, and, of course, the sheer volume of cars

    I didn’t watch it all, though I love these sorts of things. I couldn’t get over that woman who just parked her baby on the street and went inside, for long enough that even the cameraperson decided to take a closer look. Did she ever come back? o.o

    It was also frustrating how they’d slowly tilt the camera up to scan a tall building or statue or whatever, but move on to another shot before reaching the top of whatever thing they were filming.

    Regarding parking children on the street while going inside, this is still the norm in Denmark. Even when going inside a café, though in those cases the parents usually sit by the window so they can keep an eye on the child
