Miniature - Amalienborg Palace - LEGO serie. LEGOLAND, DENMARK
Amalienborg palace is located in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Amalienborg: The winter residence of the Danish Royal Family is Amalienborg. Amalienborg is made up of four almost identical rococo palais built around an octagonal square, which were originally built by four noblemen in the years 1750-54, on land granted them by King Frederik the Fifth. The Royal Family lived on Christiansborg until 1794, when it burned down (again), and the Royal Family decided to buy the four palais´, name them Amalienborg, move in and live there.
LEGOLAND is an amusement park in Denmark.
Legoland in Billund, Denmark, is the largest and the oldest. It is divided in 9 different worlds: Duplo Land, Imagination Zone, LEGOREDO Town, Adventure Land, Miniland, Pirate Land, Lego City, Knights Kingdom and Viking land. The park opened in 1968 and has 1.7 million visitors annually, making it the largest tourist attraction in Denmark outside Copenhagen.
The first Legoland was opened on 7th June 1968. It attracted 625000 visitors the first year. The parks are marketed to young families, and although they have a number of roller coasters, they are not as numerous or as extreme as those in other parks, and there is a greater emphasis on rides suitable for young children.
At present there are four such parks in the world.(Denmark, US, Germany and England)
The parks are split into various areas, which are common between the parks, for example all the parks include a Lego miniland, a model village which includes models of landmarks and scenes from around the world made from millions of genuine Lego bricks. Other common features include a Lego Mindstorms centre (fun-based learning), Duplo Gardens (for smaller children), Driving area (including attractions such as Driving school, Boating school, Ballooning school and Fire Academy), My Town, Wild Woods and Knight's Kingdom.

Hallo Janak,
A nice shot of Legoland. Thanks to your high pov you were able to scale down the visitors as well, keeping an open view onto the palace. Nice, natural colors. I visited Legoland with the children in the mid-eighties. They adored it.
Have a nice weekend

Hi Janak,
nice composition of the model palace with the colourful people. The people here gives us the idea about the dimension of it. Great depth and light. Nice to see the saturated colours. Very well done.
Congrats.
