More Views of Stockholm

Here's another group of photos taken during my stay in Stockholm. All of the photos can be enlarged by clicking once or twice on them. The first photo is of an impressive row of late 19th and early 20th Century buildings along the boulevard in Östermalm called Strandvägen (Beach Road) and is pretty amazing when enlarged to it's full size...

This is the bridge from Östermalm (in the background) to Djurgården Island

A Walk Around Djurgården Island in Stockholm

Djurgården Island was my favorite place for walking and birding in Stockholm. It was once a Royal Game Park and was the site of hunts by the King and his entourage. It's now a beautiful green space with several museums including the large open air museum called Skansen on the side of the island nearest the city and a wonderful forested natural area on the far side.
