• Stockholm City Hall. This is where you pick up your Nobel prize, if you don't already have one.
  • Slussen. There is a lock here that connects lake Mälaren to the Baltic sea.
  • Riddarsholmen. A small Stockholm island.
  • The east end of the island of Södermalm.

Boating into the Stockholm sunrise

Newer Older

Stockholm, Sweden.

Taken around 8 AM from the Västerbron bridge in Stockholm. I commute to work over this bridge: weather permitting by bike, otherwise by bus.

The towers are on the small Stockholm island of Riddarholmen.

The tall building on the left edge is Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel prizes are given out. It's on the island of Kungsholmen.

The boats are headed toward Slussen (sluice) which has a lock allowing boats to exit lake Mälaren and enter the Baltic, about 1 meter lower. Once in the Baltic beyond Slussen, there's the archipelago, more than ten thousand islands and skerries. These boats are likely headed out into the archipelago.

    A wonderful photo! I really love Sandhamn, the houses are so pittoresque, and it's great to walk to the south part of the island where the beach is!! But I promise - I'll go to Finnhamn this summer and if you have more tips - keep 'em coming! I would love to go to a place called Fredlarna, but then you need your own boat which I don't have :-(
