Gamla Stan II Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is another picture of Gamla Stan, the Old Town in Stockholm, but now seen from the other side.

The church on the left is Storkyrkan, which you also can see on my other Gamla Stan-picture. The church in the middle is the Riddarholmskyrka. On the right you can see another part of Stockholm, Södermalm.

When I was there, it was a very cold day and it was snowing almost all the time. Unfortunately, the water (Riddarfjärden) wasn't frozen.

Here you can find my other Gamla Stan-pictures:
Gamla Stan I
Gamla Stan III
Gamla Stan IV

Hope you like it!

Very nice picture.

I like to see the city of this point of view. I like the contrast between the warm yellow and the cold blue. Very well done!

Oh - I was there for some years ago - too bad I forgot to bring my camera then - thanks Lars for sharing and for the memories (even I got a bad stomack from my visit as well)

Very nice photo Lars, it looks like a grey cold winter day but what it makes special is the white snow visible on the roofs of Gamla stan. I like the colours of the buildings, particularly the yellow ones, they brighten the overall composition. Well captured!

Hi Lars, I am looking back to your early photos. I like the composition of this picture. However, I think the saturation to this picture is a little too much.
I'd like to offer you a single point here. I'd like to see you have a even point number when you pass your 10000 points mark.

Lars, le temps à la neige n'était pas avec le photographe et pourtant la photo dégage du charme et de la mélancolie malgré les couleurs vives des façades.

Hej Lars,
I decided to stay in Stockholm. Another interesting POV for the old town, with nice colours and lovely details to observe. I like the way the white cilindric corner building articulates with the yellow ones on the sides. Once more, the tower on the right dominates the set of buildings. Indeed, it would be really nice to see the water frozen in here.
Hilsen,
Ricardo
