Christiana



This is a magical community that's in the city of Copenhagen. You're not allowed to take pictures inside Christiana, and for all that know me, that was like taking away a memory. But after spending time there I am so happy that you're not allowed to take photos. This is a way of life not a tourist attraction.  It's truly something that even a picture couldnt show and that words would fail to describe. you just have to go to experience it. The first time I went there I was sitting in this beautiful hill amongst strangers over looking this perfectly eclectic community. Youre surrounded by people young and old,  by professionals and street walkers.  Although everyone is sitting with the few friends they came with, you feel so connected with the other people there. It was like an equalizer. it didnt matter where you cane from or what you were doing there just that fact that you were there and present meant that you belonged. When it was  dark enough a few people lit lanterns and released them into the sky. It was so surreal and peaceful as you looked over the water and community seeing nothing but the lanterns in the sky and the lighters down below. It was truly a moment I will never forget.
