Cruising from Stockholm? Don’t forget to bring your camera. With low humidity, the sky is bluer than blue. And the city parks are gorgeous. You’ll want to point and shoot.

Sunny, Scholared, Silly Stockholm

Ralph Grizzle — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:45:18 +0000

It is a beautiful, sunny day in Stockholm, so on a walk this morning I stopped to snap this photo. Berzeli Park is situated next to Nybroplan and Norrmalmstorg. The park was opened in 1853 and is named after the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, whose statue stands in the middle of the park. There are also other monuments in and around the park, including art by Carl Milles and a humorous statue of Hans Alfredsson sticking his head out of the sewer.
