A good place for fishing. In the stream a Håvfiskebåt. Owned by Lars Olof "Stor-Olle" Högberg for 70 years. He bought it aged 13. He fished a lot and also found a few dead bodies and jewels in the water over the decades.Oh, and the location is pretty good. I am standing at the Royal Palace shooting this. The building across the water is The Royal Swedish Opera. And if I had panned to the left you would have seen the Parliament building.
Looks like a great place to be on a summer day.
ReplyDeleteGood viewpoint indeed.
ReplyDeleteHe was a lucky man. Who owns it now?
ReplyDeleteQuite a view!
ReplyDeleteIs Lars still alive?
ReplyDeleteYes he is,Linda. He is 87 years old. He lives in an apartment on Götgatan, at Södermalm in Stockholm. I went for a walk there the other day, doing some street photography.
DeleteOh my. I've looked this up and google won't give me anything that's not in Swedish. In which I have a very limited vocabulary. But I gather Hogberg bought the little promontory of land....when did he sell it? Or did someone inherit it. Prime real estate for sure. I wouldn't mind fishing there.
ReplyDeleteHe owned the boat, Judith, the land is owned by the City.
DeleteHe sounds like quite a man,dont think I'd like to find dead bodies though
ReplyDeleteAh. Thank you Stefan. Nice to read he still lives, and so does his boat!!
