April 4: Gamla Stan
On return to downtown, we stopped at Gamla Stan and made our way back to the hotel on foot.
4504
From the edge of Gamla Stan by the water, looking up toward Tyska Kyrkan (the German Church).
4515
Dense layout x high latitude = elusive sun.
4518
MOON
4529
Looking out to, I think, Södermalm across the water.
4530
Tyska Kyrkan.
4538
Cool + warm colors (+ ice cream).
4544
I think old city tunnels are possibly the coolest thing.
4545
Sun sneaking in.
4547
Bright reflection.
4550
Ground reflection.
4553
Tyska Kyrkan in the distance, Storkyrkan (the Big Ol' Church) to the left.
4554
The arced front wings of Kungliga Slottet (the Royal Palace).
4564
The main façade of Kungliga Slottet.
4565
The forecourt.
4577
The terrace outside the palace that looks down to the canal to the north.
4578
Going down the stairs from the terrace to the lower level. It's a lucky city that can have multilevel public spaces like this.
4579
The others still up on the terrace.
4582
The rest of the steps.
4586
Stadshuset (City Hall) in the distance, like a fever dream.
4588
Across the canal, the portals through the Riksdag (Parliament).
4593
Sun + Stadshuset.
4595
Further to the south, Riddarholmen on the left.

The fabulous open spire of Riddarholmskyrkan (Riddarholm Church).
