Kalmar is a city in Småland in south east Sweden, situated by the Baltic Sea. It has 34,000 inhabitants, and is the seat of Kalmar Municipality with a total of 60,000 inhabitants. It is also the capital of Kalmar County, which is comprised of 12 municipalities with in total 236,000 inhabitants.
From the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries, Kalmar was one of Sweden's most important cities. Between 1602 to 1913 it was the capital of Kalmar Diocese, with a bishop, and the Kalmar Cathedral from 1702 is still a fine example of classicistic architecture. It became a fortified city, with the still mighty Kalmar Castle as the center. After the Treaty of Roskilde 1658 Kalmar's importance diminished, until the industry sector was initiated in the 19th century.
Geographically Kalmar is the main route to the island of Öland thanks to the Öland Bridge.

I really like the colours in this, with give it a very bright and attention getting appeal. The angle is good too, leading us into the scene, and the presence of the person adds a nice human touch to things. Well done!

Hi George!

Beautiful architecture photo with a good composition and perspective. Excellent colours and excellent light managment in general, although you had to deal with very bright and shadowed areas at the same time. Very well done!

Hi George,
This is really the ambience of a warm Swedish summer day. The typical red wooden houses in the quit street are lovely.
Groet Rob

Back to Scandinavia, which seem to be a country by your hearth. I recognize here the red paint so common on the wooden houses, but I also like the green one in the background.

All the best,

Emmanuel
