This is my second post in a row about non-Danish places I've travelled to from Copenhagen; I hope my readership doesn't desert me over the lack of photos of the Little Mermaid statue in the harbor. But I wanted to put some links up to the photos I took while in Jönköping, where I went to see the new theatrical treatment of Moberg's Utvandrarna.
Magnus Ladulås, king from 1275 to 1290, welcomes you to Jönköping.
Along one of the canals, the Grand Hotel projects neoclassical grandeur somewhat at odds with the cozy feeling of the rest of the town.
Kristine Kyrka sits on the southern edge of Lake Vättern.
Göta Hovrätt serves as the Appellete Court for a large district in this part of Sweden.
Reflection of the new Munksjö bridge on the lagoon.
The Grand Hotel, where I did not stay.
A few more pictures are here, I'll try to add to the album as I process more of them.
