The Swedish Whitebeam

Swedish Whitebeam
We had several minutes (!), of sunshine yesterday. Which was nice. Quite warm for the season, maybe 6C, so I took a long bike ride, as is the rule. I visited the flea market at Hötorget. Took a walk along Drottninggatan, before finishing my Stockholm visit with a promenade in the old town, together with all the tourists. Cycling home, I figured that the sunset could be worth photographing, and when I jumped off the ebike at Välsta I managed to get the absolute last light with this photo of the Swedish Whitebeam.

What a wonderful way to make the most of those precious minutes of sunshine! It sounds like you had an absolutely delightful day. A long bike ride in the warm (for the season) weather must have been invigorating. Visiting the flea market at Hötorget and taking a stroll along Drottninggatan sounds like the perfect way to enjoy Stockholm's vibrant atmosphere.

Fabulous shot.
Your weather sounds just like ours except no bits of sunshine here.

Nice to see the old tree again. That IS it, right?

Yes, and the reason for the different title is that I shot it from a different angle. But I did also take my standard photo, and chances are that I will upload that to Flickr soon.
