PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks.

Another shot from the bus as we passed by.

Equestrian statue of the warrior-priest Bishop Absalon, clad in chain mail and wielding an axe. He died in 1201 and remains one of the most striking and figures of the Middle Ages, and was equally great as churchman, statesman and warrior. He enjoyed warfare and was the best rider in the army and the best swimmer in the fleet. Yet he was not like the ordinary fighting bishops of the Middle Ages, whose sole concession to their sacred calling was to avoid the shedding of blood by using a mace in battle instead of a sword.
