The canal on the north-east side of the island of Slotsholmen at Copenhagen, Denmark, looking north-west. A few open fishing boats are in the canal and their funnel nets are hanging on the guardrails to dry. Motor cars are parked facing the canal. The commercial premises by the side of the canal include the properties occupied by V. Bockelunds Efie, Brodr. Trier, the Brandassurance Compagni offices and Carl Bang. The equestrian statue of Absalon is on Højbro Plads by the bridge.
