Saturday (31-May-2014) – Sweden

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 0: Stockholm, Sweden.

I arrived in Stockholm a day before embarking on the Semester at Sea Spring Enrichment Voyage. I joined fellow photographer Albert for a walkabout in the city. We came upon a group of musicians performing in a square. The accordion player thought he found his doppelganger… Really, It is not me. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 400, 24 mm, f/11, 1/640 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

Silhouette of a Sailboat at Sunrise on the way to Stockholm. The image was taken from my cabin. The sun rises very early (before 04:00) this far north. Trying to capture both sunrise and sunset everyday is a challenge.
