Stockholm


I have been very fortunate to have been to Stockholm a couple times over the past fifty years, and I have always thought it was one of the most beautiful cities in Europe or maybe the world.

This is a slide I took in June 1958 of a street in Stockholm. I will have to search to see if I can find what this street looks like now! The camera I used was a 35mm Cita vintage about c1955.
This picture was taken in 2004 when we stopped in Stockholm on a Northern European Cruise. I loved these side streets; every corner you turn is like a "kodak" moment!

This shot was also taken in 2004 from the window of our hotel . I placed the camera on a ledge on our balcony for this shot; I am going to have to start taking a tripod on our trips!

Travel Photo - Munich, Germany

Here is a couple of pictures I took of the Konigsplaza in Munich, Germany in 1959 while my buddy and I were driving a 1947 Mercedes (not mine of course) from Rhein Main Air Force Base in Frankfurt to beautiful Lake Thun in Switzerland. We were very fortunate to have arrived just after a rain shower; I love the reflection in the payment.



Here is a current shot of the Konigsplaza; compliments of Wikipedia!

Enough!

Let's hope this past snow storm is the last for the winter, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on it! Right about now Sunny Carolina is looking good!
