The departure from Stockholm. I spent most of the remaining daylight time up on deck.

The port.

Along the shore after liftoff: an approaching brigade of apartment buildings.

Back toward the city. I think I now recognize some of these spires: Tyska Kyrkan at left, Storkyrkan about 1/3 of the way across, Klara Kyrkan the left one of the two spires near the middle.

Here we have a cabin with a truly Finnish sense of isolation.

I like this icon because it's (1) mystifying and (2) the people-agglomeration in the center looks like an internal component of an old tape recorder or something.

The marshy parts of the shore seemed quite similar to some of the terrain of southwestern Finland.
