Stockholm at Christmas

Julkranen Stadsgårdsterminalen Towers Af Chapman Briggen Tre Kronor Stockholm
A few more photos taken at the lookout point that is Fjällgatan on Södermalm in Stockholm. Top photo shows "Julkranen", which is a bit of a word pun. Julgran in Swedish is Christmas tree. And kran means crane. This lit up crane at the big construction site at Slussen has been there for a few years now. Panning a little to the left, we can see Stadsgårdsterminalen from 1972. A former cruise line terminal, turned into a cultural scene. If you have good eyes, you can see that I took this photo at 12:23. The clock sits on one of the most famous structures in Stockholm. Katarinahissen. Zooming in on buildings along Skeppsbron in the old town and a few church towers on the third photo. To the left, the German church, followed by the Great Church, still under wraps, and then Klara Kyrka. Panning more to the right, we see the ship Af Chapman at Skeppsholmen. A popular hostel for Stockholm visitors. Next we see another ship. This one at Kastellholmen. It is the brig Tre Kronor. Next, another look at M/S Enköping that you also saw in yesterday's post. And lastly, one of the many ferries that travels between Slussen and the amusement park Gröna Lund at Djurgården.

There's a construction crane here that's lined up with Christmas lights too.
