Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot - Coat of Arm
Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot - Room 33, 60-68
 |
| Room 33 The story behind this room Is that I had almost missed it I couldnt locate the way into the stretch for room 38, 60-68 on level 1 We came across a friendly patrolling security who kindly obliged us with a shortcut through the "No admitance" Apparently we have missed the connecting stairs from level 3 It was then he told us, that every room in this stretch has a different and unique ceiling and flooring. Now what do you know? I may never have noticed this fact if we hadnt missed the stairs in the first place! Isnt it some good fortune at play! |

Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot - A Classic and a Modern Find
 |
| A Classic Find -H.C Anderson Portrait |
 |
| A Modern Find - Princess Mary of Denmark |
I would have almost missed the portrait
of the infamous H.C Anderson
There wasnt special flags or pointers
And it was hung in a room full of portraits.
It was a stroke of luck to even see him there
"Sitting" calmly above my head
Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot - Duo Portraits in one

| 2-in-1 Duo Portrait |

By default
I am not a fan of the countless self portraits of the Kings and Queens
However this little artwork caught the corners of my eyes
As I stroll down the long corridor
It was the protuding dimension
that had piqued my interest.
I wasnt wrong to stop and inspect this little gem
Must have taken the artist much workand ffort to align and paint
On the individual triangular strips
Wonder what had propel him to do so?
Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot
It was suppose to be something interesting
But I had forgotten to jot down what it was...
Sigh...

Denmark: Frederiksborg Slot - The Great Hall
 |
| The Great Hall - Opposite the Entrance |
 |
| Entrance of The Great Hall |
Marked Room 38
Reconstructed as it would have been
In the time of Christian IV.
Would have been nice
if the glaringly eyesore scaffolding wasnt in the way
