Views from a hill

Waldermarsudde Saltsjöqvarns kaj Kvarnholmen Danviksbron Weylandthof Beckholmen Skeppsbron
I walked up a hill again. Been up there before a few times with my cameras, but not on this side of Fåfängan as far as I can remember. Top photo shows a Dutch barn at Waldemarsudde. Built by Carl Magnus Fris in 1784. Then we have two photos showing Saltsjöqvarn at Kvarnholmen in Nacka. Then one of two draw bridges at Danviken. In the background the cliff, the Globe Arena and parts of Hammarby sjöstad. Next, aiming the camera back at Royal Djurgården we see Weylandtska villan. At Alberget. From 1833. Built for Reinhold Henrik Weylandt. Hjalmar Gullberg lived there for a while. Sold at auction a decade ago because the family members could not agree on what to do with the property. At least one family member still lives there today. The asking price was just over 100 million SEK. Then an SL-ferry and a sailboat. Looked like a close call. Next Beckholmen with the amusement park Gröna Lund in the background. We finish with a classic Stockholm view. Skeppsbron in the old town. A view seen by every cruise ship tourist arriving to Stockholm. The towers are Riddarholmskyrkan. Stockholm City Hall. The German church and Storkyrken.

Fantastic views and is that a mill without windmill blades. For the text on the bridge you must not be afraid of heights.

After they stopped using the mill, around 1880, the wings were removed. But everything else is in working order.
