Stockholm - DigitalQuixote

Stockholm

During a recent business trip, I spent 20 hours in Stockholm. Amazingly, I had an hour during the evening to stroll the streets. These "quick clicks" were taken on a sub-freezing night in February 2000.

Do Not Adjust Your Set: These pictures were taken in February 2000 with a first generation digital camera. They are as big as they'll ever get.

Fresh water flows from a lake, under this bridge into the Baltic. Invisible in the picture, there were huge sheets of ice floating down the river.
Nearby was a brightly lit square, flooded and frozen for ice skating. A stately church stands guard in the background as skaters whiz around the statue in the center of the ice.
Just downstream from the bridge, the water slows as it enters the Baltic. The sailing ship floats on salt water across the bay. And the ice is building up in the foreground.
The right corner of this ministry is just visible on the left of the bridge in the first picture.
