Under the Bridges of Stockholm
I was halfway down the steep slope here on Royal Djurgården when I spotted the ferry in the canal, so I stopped and took a few quick shots because it is in fact two photos stitched together. The bridge is named after Folke Bernadotte.
I shot it in the landscape mode, Andy. With everything in manual. Aimed at the woman on the bike. Turned off the autofocus, raised the camera to get the trees and some sky in the second shot. Stitched it using Lightroom.
So I have just read about Folke Bernadotte. What a life, and a good one, though not without controversy....and a regrettable end. Made me sad. Someone trying to do the right thing. But you probably know a lot more than Wikipedia! Ha. Anyway, I was trying to find out what that swan carriage, that's the only way I know to describe it, is on the pathway! Some sort of winged conveyance.....
The bridge is modern and sharp!
ReplyDeleteStitched together? I would have never guessed.

ReplyDeleteI like this shot a lot.
ReplyDeleteA lovely summer scene.
ReplyDeleteI thought now I see a tramp or the bridge from under but no a nice boat going under. Funny how to interpret language.

ReplyDeleteI just wrote a comment from my PC about the sculpture Judith.
DeleteWe only have to go back to a post from May this year to see that sculpture. It is called Hoop-La. Made by the American artist Alice Aycock.
ReplyDeleteExcellent composition!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stefan...I went back to the older post. It is interesting and lovely!
