A poetic winter view shows Stockholm buildings perfectly mirrored in the calm waters of one of the city's canals. Buildings in shades of orange, yellow, and red shine in the golden late afternoon light, creating a symmetrical double landscape. Bare trees in the foreground add a touch of Nordic melancholy to the composition, with their dark branches standing against the light sky. The city, built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, offers countless perspectives on the water flowing through it. This image captures the essence of the Venice of the North, as Stockholm is often called for its aquatic beauty.
