The Brig Tre Kronor at Stockholm. Бриг "Тре Кронор". Стокгольм.
Made by Peer.Gynt
A Brig is a two-masted ship with both masts carrying square sails all the way. The Brig was one of the most important sailing vessels of the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a good sailor, easily manoeuvred in a number of special ways thanks to its two square-rigged masts. This ship is modelled after Gladan, a Brig built in 1857 as a cargo navy ship. Gladan also made two journeys as a supply ship for A F Nordenskiöld and his expeditions to Spitsbergen and Greenland. Later she served as a sail training ship for the Navy. Her time ended in 1924, when she sunk in the harbour of the Navy town Karlskrona. Four gentlemen with a passion for beauty, navigation and sailing vessels launched the Stockholm Brig project in 1993. The first drawings were presented in 1994, and in 1997 the Brig’s keel was laid on Skeppsholmen, Stockholm. The construction had begun!The Society Föreningen Briggen Tre Kronor, with around 4 000 members, supports the project, which is basically financed by private donations, companies and foundations. The Society founded the limited company Briggen Tre Kronor AB, and is still the largest shareholder. The frames, planking and garnishing (the inside of the ships hull) are of oak. The deck is built of Siberian larch. Masts and spars are made of pine and larch. In all essential, the construction is carried out in the same manner as when Gladan was built. We have, however, used modern tools such as chainsaws, electric planes, drills and computers. Competent craftsmanship is totally decisive for the final result. Measurements: LOA 35 m (115ft.)

Tivoli Gröna Lund (lit. The Green Grove) is an amusement park in Stockholm, Sweden. It is located on the seaward side of the Djurgården island and is relatively small compared to other amusement parks, mainly due to its central location, which has cramped its expansion. Gröna Lund is a popular venue for concerts during the summer. Gröna Lund features most attractions common to amusement parks, such as the tunnel of love, a funhouse, as well as three roller coasters, including Jetline designed by Anton Schwarzkopf. Gröna Lund is also known for its rock and pop music concerts; the capacity record is held by Bob Marley who attracted 27,000 people in 1980, which had been his third performance at the venue, already having played in 1977 and 1978. The park is owned by Parks & Resorts Scandinavia AB since 2006 controlled by the Tidstrand family.


Linn

Linn and I went around Stockholm (from Kungsträdgården to Gärdet/Djurgården) and shoot some pictures of her, without her usual cosplays on :D It was a lot of fun and I really think I got the chance to evolve a bit. If we don't remind ourselves that I just happened to use JPEG for like, almost every picture lol. Homepage - Blog (Swedish only)

Stitch-o-mania
Made by Robin Iversen Rönnlund
Me and my friend Christian went for a walk at the nearby island of Beckholmen (where Wasa was found. The free stitcher Hugin works perfectly on Ubuntu by some reason, and no-one rejoyces like me. Made from 13 hand held pics taken with my trusty Pentax K100D Super with an old Takumar 35-mm/1:2,8 M42-lens.


drydock

July 2006, Stockholm, Sweden I believe this drydock on the island of Beckholmen was previously used by the Swedish Navy. at any rate, we just walked right in and took pictures to our heart's content... no guards, fences, razor wire, or 'no trespassing' signs. wow, Sweden is a trespassing photographer's dream!

There are three drydocks on the small island Beckholmen. They were built in 1848. They form a historical monument but are also still in use. The island Djurgården in the background. Beckholmen, Stockholm, Sweden. Taken with a Canon A610 in a Brooxes AuRiCo rig, lifted by a Flowform16 kite.

Taken at the same day as we took Linn's pictures. If it hadn't been during the day, the water would have probably been a lot cooler. Oh well, it was fun taking this shot anyway :)


Private dry-dock, Beckholmen
Made by Luke Robinson
On the walls of the dry-dock the various ship's names from over the years were spray-painted on by the owners. Sort of like a sailor's version of a hostel bathroom.

This ferry was so new it still smelled of fresh paint. Note the cranes in the background, painted to look like giraffes.
