I hope no one minds if I post another whilst the other one is still up for debate?

Here's one of mine:

The Power Station and windmills you can see is called Avedøreværket. which is just east of the city of Copenhagen.
Also sometimes called 'Dong 2'!
The reason I really took the photo was that the Baltic Sea looked completely smooth, due to it being windless that morning.
Something that does not happen very often over here! Also the bridge where I took the photo is the highest point of my commute to and from work.
(and yes, the chain is a bit slack!)

Surely the only place east of the city of Copenhagen is the sea, or at a pinch, Amager?

Yep you are correct - it is south of the City, not east.

Was it taken in the first week of June?

The week before - 28th May 2008

Ah, ok. (We were in the Baltic for the first 2 weeks of June and it was like a millpond for most of that time. But chatting to the locals it seemed it was our own personal millpond and patch of sunshine we were dragging round

)

Steve, I hadn't seen this post, but yes I drive by it everyday at work.
and I can see it from my local beach, even though it's 15 miles away

Nobody seems to have a clue about this one....
So where is it Jaded?

I think I can just about make out the words 'The Colonnade' on one of the buildings below, but that just confuses me, because I'd kinda convinced myself it wasn't an English-speaking country. I'd've thought Germany, given the architecture and the driving on the right and stuff. The church looks a bit too old for it to be US, Canada or antipodes, so I'm stumped.
