Monochrome Monday
We start the new week, (Monday is the first day of the week over here), with a bit of Black and White. Top photo shows a well-designed staircase at Kungsgatan, leading up to Malmskillnadsgatan. It is three meters wide at the bottom and two meters at the top, which is really pleasing to the eye. And it makes it look like a tougher climb. If we continue our walk towards the hay square and then make our way down a pedestrian street, we will find a version of the Knotted Gun by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. Next we jump on the bike and pedal over to Kungsholmen and aim the camera back towards Klarabergsviadukten. We use a zoom lens and take a closer look at the side facade of the Waterfront Building. This is a "kontorshotell" called United Spaces Stockholm. Back on the bike we make our way over to Skeppsholmen where we climb a grassy hill to the highest natural point on that island where we find an old water tower. It dates back to around 1850. Last I heard it was used as a gallery, but on my visit it looked very closed.
Stefan you photos are always interesting. The gun really caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteDo that stair from the first foto twice a day and you don't need a gym anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of stairs!
ReplyDeleteGreat monochrome shots. I'm glad I don't have to climb those stairs.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot with the stairs.
ReplyDeleteThis is so well taken set of monochrome. Love the staircase going up along a leading line.
