Boathouses at Möja

This picture of old boathouses is taken in Löka guest harbour at Möja in the archipelago of Stockholm. Möja is one of the most popular islands for travellers and boaters, and is also significant in size.
A lot of old houses and buildings are well preserved at Möja, if you visit the island you will get a feeling of how people used to live here many years ago. For an example these boat houses were used by sailors or fishermen to keep there boats and fishing tools in.

#6 in a series of 6

The coach stops and our guide tell us that this is probably the most photographed place in Stockholm; that we probably all want to take our own picture of it.

First I showed you some sky.

Secondly some water.

Thirdly some more sky.

Fourthly I revealed some buildings and a photographer, sufficient for at least one person to recognise the locality.

Fifthly I showed the whispy cloud from #1 and the bird in the sky from #3 together with the top of the building in question.

So here now is the whole thing.

Was it worth waiting for?

rågsved by day

Rågsved ("Rye Parch") on the southernmost outskirts of the Stockholm municipality has that certain sleepy suburb feeling on a Monday afternoon. Here's the local shopping center.
