Gone fishing

Glitsh Urban Fishing
Often when I cycle home from Stockholm, I use a very narrow bike path that goes along a canal known as Riddarholmskanalen. It runs between Gamla stan and Riddarholmen. Above it, you will find a very busy road. I, for one, would like to remove that road all together, something not very likely to happen. Anywho, the urban canal is popular with anglers as are all waters around Stockholm, btw. Not sure what might have happened here looking at the two funeral wreaths. I nodded to the fisher before taking the photo, and he nodded back. The guy walking on the second photo is doing that on the very narrow bike path that can be scary to ride on during rush hour. Just a few days ago, local politicians took a decision to widen the bike path, but it will probably be a few years before we can see a result on that. The building that you can spot on the second photo is Riddarhuset. House of Nobility.

Nice location for some fishing and sometimes bike paths must not be to0 broad.

Nice spot to fish without having to go far from home.

Depends on where you live.

A drowning, I assume?
