stockholm: photos

Today I thought I’d post some photos from Stockholm, the most beautiful city I’ve seen. Not that I’m particularly well-traveled. But Stockholm is certainly unique. Enjoy!

Gazebo in Skansen

A gazebo in Skansen, a large park area featuring numerous museums, an amusement park, and lots of greenery.

Nordiska Museet

The Nordiska Museet, or Nordic Museum, in Skansen.

Nordiska Museet, back

The back of the Nordiska Museet.

Detail, vasa ship

This is a detail from the Vasa, a Viking ship over 300 years old that was salvaged from the Stockholm harbor in the 60’s. I think it’s a dragon’s tail.

Death head, Vasa ship

A painted replica of a bust that decorated the mast of the Vasa ship. This bust represents death, the fate of any foe of the Swedish king.

Garbo

She vants to be alone.

Statue near theater

Street artist, or statue? Dare to touch him and find out?
