I hope that you will excuse the fact that my ancient slides are all a jumble (as is my memory). If you have never done it, I cannot even begin to describe what a pain it is to scan slides, not to mention the impossibility of getting all of the specks off. I managed to rub some of them out while treating the scanned images, but a lot of them are still there. One thing that fascinates me about rediscovering photos like this is to see what I chose to take pictures of back when each frame of film actually cost money and so many more photos were not taken for this reason. Not to mention of course that with rolls of 24 or 36 photos, even using one or two rolls of film a day was considered extravagant. I've been there 3 times, but the last time was at least 20 years ago, so I'm sure I'm due for a return trip.

These pictures are fantastic! What a feast for the eyes.
The clothing and hairstyles are interesting, and it's amazing how many would almost fit in today.

I can't stop looking at their clothes and hair. Looks more '80s but maybe the big city Danes were on the fashion vanguard. As it were.

I think these are photos from two different visits -- 1977 and 1981.

I had the same thought as Fumobici about the hairdos.
This is not really how I picture Copenhagen -- all I ever see in "travel" photos is the row of cafés along a waterfront, to the extent that I thought there was nothing else to see. So thanks for showing street crowds like this.

could it be that a non-copenhagen photo snuck its way into there?

It is not impossible. You know how all of those European countries look the same! I think I know which photo to which you are referring, and since I have never really visited Bavaria, I suppose that you can confirm that it is Berlin.

So cool to see these shots. Great street scenes. I too, love seeing the fashions of the day.

Just repeating: great street scenes!
Last year, I began scanning some of my father's pictures: from his trips to Japan and US in the 90s/early 2000s. Was a real pain: just scanned a few and left the project...

You took some excellent shots, especially considering that you had to be frugal with your film. I wish I could do a do-over of all my film trips so I could snap away to my heart's content.
Those Tivoli Gardens are indeed magical. I also love the random portraits, particularly the mowhawked young woman.

It's impressive that you were really taking "photographs", not just snapping vacation memories. The scene selection, framing, etc. in the penultimate picture could have come from one of your recent threads. Was thinking the same as Fumobici, so was interested to hear that the visits covered the '80s as well. I can't stop looking at their clothes and hair. Looks more '80s but maybe the big city Danes were on the fashion vanguard. As it were. What's the dome-like structure in front of the building that says Bayererishe?

Ah, that's the Berlin photo that I accidentally put in there. That's a fountain -- you can see the splashing water.
