Description of Pictures: Part of the EU Open House 2007
This was a cool place! In addition to the building itself which was neat, the Danish ambassador, Friis Arne Petersen, stuck around for the whole time I was there including tolerating a women's anti-war protest group.

Same Event: Wait! There's more! Because I took too many pictures, photos from this event were divided among the following pages: [Display ALL photos on one page]:

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. EMBDEN_070512_027.JPG: Friis Arne Petersen makes his appearance
2. EMBDEN_070512_191.JPG: This painting was in a corner. I asked the tour guide about it and she said that it had been done by the ambassador's daughter. A year later, I came back to the embassy for EU Open House 2008 and asked the ambassador about it. He said, that had been his daughter. He said that the nine year old was actually going to have an exhibition in Georgetown this year.

Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C. is the Kingdom of Denmark's diplomatic mission to the United States. It is located at 3200 Whitehaven St., NW in Washington, D.C. The embassy also operates Consulate-General in New York City.

History

After World War II, Danish Ambassador to the United States Henrik Kauffmann (1888–1963) suggested that Denmark needed a new embassy and he found that the best solution would be to construct a new purpose-built embassy on a recently acquired piece of land. Leading Danish Modernist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen was charged with the commission and the building was completed in 1960. It was the first modern embassy building to be built in the United States.

On June 4, 2010 the 50th anniversary of the embassy was celebrated with a ceremony attended by Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.

Building

The embassy building is perched on a hilltop, set back from the street, and houses both the Ambassador’s residence and the chancellery. It is built to a simple and restrained Modernist design. Both the exterior and interior is clad in marble from Greenland.

Finn Juhl, another leading Danish Modernist designer, was put in charge of interior decorations and he furnished the embassy both with furniture of his own and design and other Danish furniture classics, such as Arne Jacobsen chairs and Poul Henningsen lighting.

The Ugly Duckling fountain, by Marshall Fredericks, was installed in 1994.

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
