Gamla Stan, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

The small streets of Gamla Stan.

Gamla stan (The Old Town), until 1980 officially Staden mellan broarna (The Town between the Bridges), is the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Gamla stan consists primarily of the island Stadsholmen. The surrounding islets Riddarholmen, Helgeandsholmen, and Strömsborg are officially part of, but not colloquially included in, Gamla stan. The word "stan" is simply a contraction of the word "staden" ("sta'n"), meaning "the town."

Hello Gee,
a great composition from a well chosen point of view that takes us into the narrow alley with the tall walls and leads us all the way to its opening to another road with excellent sharpness and clarity. I like very much the lighting, colours and atmosphere, the superb depth and perspective, the partial view at the end of the alley. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania
