| stockholm, a morning stroll | 05.11.2009 |
Ok, so this American photographer who lives in Sweden, Justin from Daniel Photo invited me to get up around 4:30am the other day to take a stroll through the city to shoot around sunrise. He obviously doesn't know me very well because I am not a morning person, but due to the time difference, I was wide awake at 4am so I decided to take him up on it. We went through old town, the same place Jess & I shot the first day, but it was much different first thing in the morning. No one was around, the streets were empty, the shops were closed and the light was beautiful.
By the way... I asked Justin what made him decide to leave the US and move to Sweden. What else could it be... a girl. Hook, line, sinker.
If you've never been to Stockholm, the city is basically a bunch of islands separated by waterways and connected by bridges. Almost like Venice, Italy, except no gondolas and there are plenty of cars (and this city is a lot bigger). It's a beautiful place.

Apparently this is the police station (or at least that's what I was told).

The morning sun, bouncing off buildings even made this shaded wall look really warm.

I loved the reflection from the window across the way...

This is the Royal Palace. It's currently under renovation since Princess Victoria is going to be getting married next year. I wonder if they found there photographer yet. If not, they should check out thebecker.com!

We just missed the changing of the guard, but I did manage to get them marching away. (Btw, the changing of the guard at Arlington is much cooler, same with at Lenin's tomb is Red Square (although I don't think they do it anymore).
