Sweden- 3/03
On
my way back down from the far north, I stopped for two quick
days in Stockholm, before I headed back to my home in Århus.
What an incredible place- the capital is made up of 14 interconnected
islands,
and the small portion I saw made me want to come back as soon
as I could...

near Malmö, one of the southernmost cities in Sweden...
I took this photo as I was traveling on a night train
from Stockholm to Copenhagen. |
The
royal palace in Stockholm, home to King Carl Gustav, if
I remember correctly. Like virtually all royalty in Europe,
his role is almost totally symbolic. |

A
narrow street in Stockholm's gamla stan, or Old City. |
I
just happened to be walking by over a bridge, and caught
what I think is my favorite picture of all the ones I've
taken. I don't know the name of the tower, but I love
the way it reflects on the water. |

This
is a larger view of Stockholm, which is actually made
up of 14 separate islands, all connected by a series of
bridges. Of all the cities I've seen, it's surely one
of the most beautiful. |
Another
view of Stockholm. |

I
took the Viking Line ferry from Turku, Finland to Stockholm,
about a 12-hour trip. As we were approaching Stockholm
the sun was beginning to set, and I went out onto the
freezing cold deck to capture this. |
