Even National Geographic can get it wrong! Found this photo on their website with the following text:
"Graffiti covers the side of a ship in one of Denmark's many harbors. Vandalism is rare in this exceptionally peaceful, orderly society where a mere 2 percent of the national budget is spent on police, prisons, and courts. A common saying in the patriotic nation holds that "Denmark is a land where few have too much and even fewer have too little," a fact that they attribute to keeping the crime levels low."
Little did they know that this is a photo of the tower on the Knippelsbro Brigde in Central Copenhagen. Notice several international tags on it from 1996 when Copenhagen hosted the now legendary Subkult Festival...

I was lucky enough to be sent to Copenhagen for a work meeting and got to stay the weekend that the Subkult festival was on. Saw Lady Pink and Seen painting and sooooooo many Sento trains running. Actually so many trains in general running.
