The signs are beautiful, late Art Deco (-influenced?) rising against the usually drab Danish sky, and the winged wheel that was the logo of then-national Danish railways balances one end of the roof like a 12 feet, concrete hood ornament.

It goes without saying that I went right past those and photographed the tacky secondfloor neon sign instead ;)
