Pictures from Sweden/Helsinki/Copenhagen trip

MALMO, SWEDEN

Eastern Cemetery (designed by architect Sigurd Leverence)



KLIPPAN, SWEDEN





Inside St. Peter's Church (also designed by Sigurd Leverence)


Me in front of St. Peter's Church in Klippan, Sweden.

In the surrounding gardens/park.



STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

 
An impressive, modern addition to the National Library of Sweden, Kungliga Biblioteket 





 
Asplund Library, Stockholm. OK, confession, I stole this picture from Cathy 
as I did not visit this library with her but isn't it amazing?! 





The Vasa Ship -- NOT a Viking ship, rather a failed battle ship under King Gustavus Adolphus in 1928.

 Skansen Open-Air Museum, outside the bakery. I enjoyed a delicious, freshly-baked cardamom-like roll.


 Skansen, inside the lodger's home.

  Skansen, inside the furniture maker's shop.



Skasen, outside a farmstead, parts of which were built in 1470.

 Skansen, inside the farmstead.


Nordisk Museum. This advertisement is enough to motivate me in!

Absolutely gorgeous textile in the Nordisk Museum. It was a wedding gift to its owner, I think.



 
The finishing line at the marathon on June 4th: inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium!


 Me post-marathon in the subway station. Look at all that salt that dried on my sleeves! It was on my face, too.



Outside the street we stayed on for 7 days in Gamla stan, Stockholm. To navigate back home each day I could simply type in "Royal Palace" because it was across a plaza from it!

UPPSALA, SWEDEN

   Cathy and Me walking around Uppsala, Sweden.



A view from the train coming back from Uppsala to Stockholm.

 
 Our staple for last-minute snacks in Stockholm, the convenience store Presbyran, or as we called it, Presbyterian.

HELSINKI, FINLAND
 
The Viking Line ship we took to Helsinki from Stockholm.
Me and Cathy en route to Helsinki. 

  
A view of the archipelago, leaving Stockholm


 

Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki




COPENHAGEN

Roskilde Cathedral


 
Cathedral in Copenhagen which Kierkegaard frequented. Look how simple! I think it's because it burned down four or more time in its history.




 
A train station in Copenhagen

Christiana

 
Me enjoying a slide post-Danish breakfast in the Superkilen skate park in Copenhagen

 
Coming down the Round Tower, the Rundetaarn

 
Pontificating with Kierkegaard in the National Library Gardens, where he sits.
