...And some photos from my very productive trip to Stockholm with Bruce Peter, this time featuring the Viking Cinderella (history of the ship here) inbound to Stockholm from yet another 22-hour cruise to Mariehamn. These photos have been taken from Gåshaga, a suburb in the city of Lidingö. The place is accessible with a delightful tram line that is run on modernized trams originally dating from the 1940s (though these will be replaced by modern units starting next year). Lighting conditions were less than perfect however. It might be a good idea to redo the trip during the summer when daylight savings time is in effect and hence the lighting could be better.
As always, click on the images to see in larger size.

| Viking Cinderella and Birka Paradise, again. My trusted Canon 350D 's battery had run out and I had forgotten to charge the spare, hence this photo was taken with Bruce's Panasonic DMC-LX2 pocket camera that he kindly loaned to me. |
