You've Got Heart

I Heart Copenhagen
Today is the day of hearts, and we don't want to be left out. A quick serach for "heart" in our photo archives gave us these shots. Although every day is heart-y in Denmark when your coins are decked out with them:

I Heart Bike Culture
Big ol' heart on Nørrebrogade, the world's busiest bicycle street.
Hearts and Tattoos
Hearts under your bum.
Heart Shaped Bell and Condom
Heart-shaped bell and condom from a Belgian campaign Velove from a few years back. "My bike loves me", it reads.
Barcelona Heart Street
A lovely street in Barcelona.

Copenhagen Bike Love - Tall
And we couldn't forget this shot, now could we?

Have a love-filled day.

Copenhagen was caught up in another bout of heavy, wet snow yesterday. Fortunately most of it settled into slippery slush during the night and melted away as the day progressed. Above, an elegant landing. Below, too much to handle...
