Boating into the Stockholm sunrise Stockholm, Sweden.

Taken around 8 AM from the Västerbron bridge in Stockholm. I commute to work over this bridge: weather permitting by bike, otherwise by bus.

The towers are on the small Stockholm island of Riddarholmen.

The tall building on the left edge is Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel prizes are given out. It's on

the island of Kungsholmen.The boats are headed toward Slussen (sluice)

which has a lock allowing boats to exit lake Mälaren and enter the Baltic, about 1 meter lower.

  Stockholm, Sweden 043 - Ciudad/CityRecommended View On Black, large - Recomendado Ver en Fondo Negro, grandeToday Stockholm enjoys an excellent reputation as a city and one need only stroll through its streets to see a city alive, orderly and clean. For some, is a resting place where you can escape from everyday life, for others it is a paradise for shopping and for the most gourmets a real luxury, with large commercial buildings, refined shops and luxurious restaurants.

Stockholm is so beautiful day and night. However, the best time to know, is when people invade their terraces and the sun barely get. The Swedes can boast a beautiful and welcoming capital, where the blue reigns over lakes and in many of its colorful facades.
