(Mostly from Tuesday 7/29.)

Katarina Church, seen through the rigging of Af Chapman (now a floating hotel).

Barnacle geese, common as Canada geese. "In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles."

Skridskopaviljongen, Kastellholmen island, from Skeppsholmen island.

Skeppsholmen boats.

Cut the Crap. I can't make this stuff up.

Hornsgatan, I think. North end of Södermalm island.

So this part of Södermalm is built on a cliff (dropping into the Riddarfjord). The bridge straight in front crosses over a street to a 6th story elevator lobby at the back of Söder Mälarstrand 21. (Has a steeple, but not obviously a church in StreetView.) The bridge leading off that to the right goes into an upper story (next pic).

Did I mention the cliff? This is not even down to sea level.

It's interesting seeing what people choose for graffiti tag names. "Shave." (the period is part of the tag) seems unlikely, but it was repeated at least 3 times on this wooden fence.
