An evocative view of Stockholm harbor captures the city at sunset, when golden light illuminates the buildings and reflects in the calm waters. On the left rises the modern Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre with its contemporary architecture featuring undulating lines. In the center of the skyline stands the black spire of Riddarholmskyrkan, the only medieval church remaining in Stockholm and burial place of Swedish monarchs. Boats moored in the harbor and historic buildings create a fascinating contrast between old and new. The sky with pink and purple clouds reflects the typical colors of Scandinavian evenings, when northern light takes on particularly intense tones.
