Ten street photos from Gamla stan

No photos, please Högvakten We could do it right here Munkbrogatan In hiding Panem special Sharply dressed Eyes on the coffee Hand shading eyes Where is that hotel?
It was time for another walk in the old town, with the focus on street photography. I liked how the guy in the first photo just casually put up his hand when he noticed the camera, they kept talking and I kept walking. As I always do, I gave the Royal Guard at the Palace a little nod before I took a portrait of him. Brända tomten is a special place in the old town and these two guys were discussing how best to proceed with their filming. The big flower pot can be found close to the Metro station. I took the photo because of the two doomscrollers. I spotted the Japanese girl hiding behind her umbrella at the German Church. Walking down an alleyway from Stortorget my eyes turned to the young woman at the Pizza place, while her mother kept her eyes on the nosy photographer. The well-dressed guy wearing shades walked down Köpmansgatan when I spotted him. Agaton is a popular café at Västerlånggatan where tourists pay a little more for coffee than they should, but that is also because of the high rent the café owner have to pay. The woman trying to get the sun out of her face had just walked in to Stortorget, the big square in the old town where there's no shade at all. Lastly, a tired tourist family trying to find their hotel. It is just around the corner, btw.
