Västerbron, Stockholm

View from Smedsudden.

 

Västerbron (The Western Bridge) is an arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden. With a total length exceeding 600 m, 340 m of which stretches over water, it is one of the major bridges in Stockholm, offering one of the most panoramic views of the central part of the city centering on Gamla stan, the old town. Its inauguration on 20 November 1935 made it the second stationary connection between the southern and northern parts of the city, saving the citizens the effort of a ferryride, which had previously been required.

 

From Wikipedia

 

Runners in the Stockholm Marathon cross this bridge twice, which is quite tough, but they always enjoy the spectacular view from up there.

 

This was one of my first attempts at creating aa panorama. There were parallax errors, which you can see on the bridge.

 

However, I have now used Affinity Photo 2 to stitch the images together, and it did a better job.
