Stockholm, Sweden, 29 Aug - 8 Sep 2005: Scandinavian Beauties
Stockholm And Uppsala


Waterfront

MastsViking ShipStockholm is an archipelago made up of thousands of islands. Diverse seacrafts berth along the island shores - shifting silhouettes that frame the shimmering golden glow of the famed waterfront at sunset.

Gamla StanKungsholmenHandsome townhouses line the maze of tiny streets and alleys of the Gamla Stan. Along the coast of Kungsholmen, site of former royal palace quarters, stately mansions bask in the afternoon sun, gleaming rich hues of autumnal gold and red against a cobalt sky.

DomkyrkanUppsala SlottAn hour's train ride away from Stockholm, Uppsala town boasts a renowned university. August town icons, the Domkyrkan and Uppsala Slott stand in narcissistic revelry, meditating on their own reflections.

Uppsala University's men's choir performs a cappella madrigals and Beatles' Yesterday, in the magical medieval setting of Uppsala Slott.

I love your photographs -- very well-framed, excellent reflections. Have you ever considered sending them for competitions?
