Gamla Stan is the central part of Stockholm. Located on an island, historically a "lock" to Lake Mälaren, to prevent enemies from defeating the important parts of Sweden.
The city was founded in the 13th century. There is the Royal Palace,, Church, and Nobelmuseum .
The streets are mostly narrow alleys, the light have difficult to reach down to the streets between the houses, and only a few streets are allowed for traffic.
Many houses are preserved and you can find walls and arches from the Middle Ages.
I have used Topaz Impressions for painting effect, a Marezia57 texture to get a coherent gold tone. and use lens flare on all three.

One of my favorite memories from Sweden. Stockholm at night, a glow with quiet magic. The city lights dancing on the water, the hush of history in every cobbled street, and the sky deepening to blue as I walked, it’s a moment I’ll always treasure.
Merry Christmas to all my dear friends. wishing you a beautiful day filled with peace, warmth, and light.

Stockholm archipelago
Many poets, authors and artists have been influenced and fascinated by the Stockholm archipelago. Among them are August Strindberg, Ture Nerman, Roland Svensson, Ernst Didring and Aleister Crowley. Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from the group ABBA wrote most of their songs in a cabin located on the archipelago.
Boating is an extremely popular activity with the sailing race Ornö runt (or Around the island of Ornö) being the largest in the archipelago. This annual race, organised by the Tyresö Boat Club, has taken place every year since 1973. It is open to anyone with a sailing boat but requires registration. There are different entry classes, with the family class being the least competitive.
In the winter skaters make excursions over the ice.

Cherry blossom at Kungsträdgården, Stockholm.
Prunus serrulata.
Prunus serrulata or Japanese cherry is a species of cherry tree that grows naturally in Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam.
Historically, the Japanese have developed many cultivars by selective breeding of cherry trees, which are produced by the complicated crossing of several wild species, and they are used for ornamental purposes all over the world.
