At that time of the year in Sweden, this is still midwinter. The days are short, the weather is cold, snowy and the sea may be frozen… or almost. On that particular evening, the -10°C wind was freezing my fingers as I was setting up my tripod and camera to take that shot of Skeppsholmen by night, one of the islands of Stockholm. That island is positioned strategically at the entrance of Stockholm from the Baltic Sea and, consequently, was a traditional location for military buildings. Nowadays, museums have replaced military facilities, such as Stockholm’s Museum of Modern Art. The old sailing ship is the af Chapman, a 1888 vessel that was used as a training ship by the Swedish Army before serving as barracks during World War II. It is now owned by the Swedish Tourist Association and serves as a youth hostel.
