Vaxö, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

Continuing on the display of archipelago boats in Stockholm. This is Vaxö, a fast passenger ferry built in a series of boats in 1993 together with Väddö, Värmdö, Vånö, Viberö. These boats have a capacity of 340 passengers and a max speed of 22 knots. The design is a bit on the tough side with the forward tilted bridge windows.

"Ej i trafik" means "Not in traffic" as opposed to having a destination.

Nice close up of this boat, good sharpness and well framed, good shot.

I missed your previous shot, Ebbe, the one with Tynningö. But that doesn't matter, as I was most fond of Torben's WS. And I see some of his suggestions being applied in this shot. It's simple and clean, yet with a bit excitement created by the different rakes of the surfaces. Also, I find there's just enough inclusion of blue and yellow stripes on both sides. Well done!

Glad midsommar i Dalarna!
