    Hi Anders. Three nice takes on the theme. Lovely old cobbled street in the first shot. I love old villages like that. Looks like a good walk along the parapet at Helsingborg. Nice little statue of Poppe.

    Thanks Mitch, it was a lovely bike tour in summer of 08 when i took that shot. Indeed a lot of people take walks there on fair days. :) he was a terrific actor.

    Nice takes on the theme, Anders! Cobble streets make nice shot and yours is not an exception... I would like to walk along that parapet and look at the sea now and then... Love sculptures, either they are big or small...

    Three lovely photos. I read a Swedish criminal book recently centered in Helsingborg but cannot remember the title. A very beautiful town.

    Cobblestone road, very unique.
    Your beach seems very quiet, nice shot.
    Meeting a comedian on the street, not a bad idea.

    I too would love to meander around that village Anders. It looks very inviting. A bit like "I wonder what's on the other side of this hill."

    That is some walk along the beach in your home town. I can imagine a nice cool breeze egging you on.

    As for the bronze of Nils Poppe, awesome.

    All fabulous photos, Anders. Is it hard to walk on those cobblestones? Love the walkway along the water - looks like a really nice place for a stroll. Thanks so much for posting :-)
