Evening in Stockholm, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

Evening dusk at Sergels torg in central Stockholm. Taken from a bridge crossing the usually busy Sveav臠en the picture overlook the rundabout with the glass obelisk illuminated and the fountains idle for the season.

In the background we see the window facade of Kulturhuset. This building was originaly built to house our Parliament as their building was rebuilt in the 70ｴs. Today it is used as a theatre and an art center.

Traffic seems very quite here but this picture is taken just a few days after the introduction of a special tax on driving in and out of Stockholm in an atempt to get a better enviroment in the centre of the town.

I used the barrier of the bridge as support as I had no tripod.

Hi Ebbe
I like this view because of the multiple sources of light. In addition, it seems that there are only two tones, yellow and red. A simple view of a town, not enhancing a monument by night or an illuminated bridge, but yet very attractive in my opinion.

Helo Ebbe,

This is a very well composed and exposed night scene. I like the lighting very much, there is not one over lit area in the scene which is rare in a night shot such as this.
Well done and good note too...
