Northern European Capitols

About the images in this gallery: all the images in this gallery were scanned from
original photographs taken on a Northern European Cruise in the summer of 1994. All were
exposed on Fuji Reala or Kodak Ektar 35MM color print film, 100ASA & 25ASA. No digital
manipulations were made on these images. All photos were taken hand-held. The enlarged
images are about 70 KB each and will display at about 900x600 pixels.

. . Our Northern European tour begins in Copenhagen with this shot of Fisherman's Wharf. One of Oslo's most impressive attractions is Vigeland Park, featuring 192 sculptures

by native artist Gustav Vigeland. Most striking is the 46 foot tall Monolith, composed of 121 figures.

The park's Bridge contains 58 bronze sculptures, including the ones shown here.

The Fountain was the starting point for what was to become Vigeland Park, originally commissioned by the city council in 1907. This shot was taken sometime around

midnight, as the sun was setting. The next five shots were taken in Stockholm, this first one from

the water on a canal cruise. Stockholm is, like the other Northern European capitols, a clean,

friendly, and architecturally beautiful city. The people, most of whom speak English, are an open and friendly bunch, always ready to help a wayward tourist (quite a contrast to my fellow

Angelenos). Most prominent in the architecture are the numerous churches, or "kyrkas", whose

steeples can be seen throughout the city. These last two shots were taken in Helsinki,

Finland, and are the best examples I have of the architecture on display there.

These photos aren't bad, but don't you have anything better?

Take me back home; I want to choose a new destination.
