Recordist's notes

Posed on a rock, the little mairmaid is the symbol of the Copenhagen city. A lot of tourists are trying to make a selfie, while jostling themself unceremoniously. This is the daily nowadays tourism. A friend said me that Den Lille Havfrue (the name in Danish) is a tourist trap, but he said more : it's a black hole ! It was true.
