How impressive is this? Very, in my book. The preparations for this historical re-enactment of the 1523 Intåg, or Entry in English, to Stockholm with the newly crowned king, Gustav Vasa blew my mind. It took several years of work. It happened a couple of days ago now, to the day, five-hundred years after the real Entry to Stockholm by king Gustav Vasa. They marched from Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm to The Royal Palace in the old town, where I took these photos, before continuing to the main square Stortorget. I didn't count them, but there were at least 250 participants. Dressed like country jacks, musicians, burghers and valley people. They were from all over Europe. Think about the work to make all these costumes. Amazing. Photos from the square tomorrow.
