Happy Mural in Christiania

a1_20150412__DSC3245_6000 x 4000

This brightly coloured, possibly hallucinatory, mural decorates a small building at the entrance to Christiania in Copenhagen.

Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania is a self-proclaimed autonomous area created in 1971 in a former military site.  Civic authorities regard the place as a large commune, but the area does have a unique status in that it is regulated by a special law, the Christiania Law of 1989;  its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004.
