Centralbadet
Sometimes I show you street photos from the number one shopping street in Stockholm. Drottninggatan. If you turn right halfway down going in the direction from the Royal Palace, you can end up at this little gem. The green garden at what used to be Hårlemanska malmgården. That is what the architect Wilhelm Klemming did in 1901. He then bought the property and built the famous spa, Centralbadet. The water feature in the top photo was made by Klemmings daughter Greta, and it is today surrounded by a couple of restaurants. It is tricky to photograph the building, but here are two photos with interesting details. The fountain and bust depicting the architect Wilhelm Klemming looks as old as the spa, which was finished in 1904. But it is not. Made just 20 years ago by Helene Aurell and Nigel Wells.

It looks all very nice and that bust of Wilhem Klemming is beautiful photographed. Good work again Stefan.
I love that first shot.
That statue has a revealing texture and details.
Splendid shots!
