Friday, a
sunny day and a long walk down to Christiania…
I like Christiania’s
esthetics very very much, I´m not drug liberal at all, so the green light district
is not my cup of tea so to speak, I think that it´s a very sad view to see so
many young “men”, I think it´s mostly male there in the pusher street… But the area around the lake is adorable, full
of creativity and nice small houses the other not like the other… The cafés are
also very very great once in the area, vegetarian and tasty. My experience is
that the most of the people there are friendly and helpful, I like the women’s blacksmiths
place and this time I found a ring that I like a lot and buy as a gift for
myself…
You can
find as many motive for good photos in this area, everything is so colorful and
playful and it´s big paintings or small details… I took as the maximalist I am
a lot and here you can see some of all the photos I took under our three hours
walking around in the area.
You are not
allowed to take photos of the people in the area.
From wikipedia:
Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania
(Danish:
Fristaden
Christiania) is a
self-proclaimed autonomous neighbourhood of about 850 residents, covering
34 hectares (84 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn
in the Danish
capital Copenhagen.
Civic authorities in Copenhagen regard Christiania as a large commune, but the
area has a unique status in that it is regulated by a special law, the
Christiania Law of 1989 which transfers parts of the supervision of the area
from the municipality
of Copenhagen to the state. It was closed by residents in April 2011,
whilst discussions continued with the Danish government as to its future, but
is now open again.[1]Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, measures for normalising the legal status of the community have led to conflicts, and negotiations are ongoing.
Among many Christiania residents, the community is known as staden ('the town'), short for fristaden ('the freetown').
