Photographer’s Note

the location

Gamla stan (The Old City) is the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. It consists primarily of the island Stadsholmen. It dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town's construction

the picture

The weather wasn't the best when we visited the narrow lanes of Gamla Stan. I felt that as long as I avoided too much of that damned sky, I might just come up with a decent shot, anyway. This is the result. I hope you like it.

PP: slightly sharpened, levels and contrast added

Hej Benny
it's a good shot over the alleys in Gamla Stan. with those typical red and yellow ochre walls. and a good impression of the narrowness between the houses.

Dear Benny
I would believe that you had taken this shot from a window. But I liked your compo. with the lamp taking centre stage as if squezed from two sides by the mighty & tall walls. The three lamps are also symmetrically placed along the vertical axis of the frame. very nice...like the originality in this shot!
Best regards
Angshu
