A miscellany of interesting things seen while driving across Europe in
late June. Images follow:
cc-by-sa on
everything.
All right, not strictly from the road. The
nuclear power station at Gravelines,
as we were pulling into Dunkerque harbour, after a dull crossing.
The
Köhlbrandbrücke
in Hamburg and its lovely swooping approach.
Cranes in Hamburg (Container Terminal Eurogate).
No four-legged ducks allowed in this hotel!
But you may scrape your boots on the frog.
Approaching the
Storebæltsbroen,
which links the islands of Sjælland (Zealand) and Fyn (Funen) within
Denmark. Yes, the sky really does go those colours.
The "main" (eastern) bridge, and the island of Sprogø (now a nature
reserve).
On the eastern bridge.
Strange chocolate bars in Sweden. ("Tarragona"?)
A public fountain in Helsingborg.
Helsingborg town hall.
Aircraft by the side of the road (at Linköping, which includes a major
Saab plant).
Lowering skies over the docks at Stockholm.
Early (late 1920s) Finnish tourism posters.
From the hotel window: the northern docks in Stockholm.
Looking up inside the hotel. That spiral stair went twenty floors up.
A passing container ship, seen from the ferry.
Where is she now?
A Finnish sailor having altogether too much fun.
Sculpture in Mariehamn.
The boulevard on the main street (Storgatan), in the Russian style.
