Christmas in Gothenburg XI

This is my last picture from Christmas in Gothenburg and it is not a very unique photo, many like to depict Gothenburg this way. I just thought it was my turn now.

Christmas in Gothenburg X

The building in the background Göteborgs Konsthall is the centre of contemporary art here in Gothenburg. It was built in 1923. I love the irradiation, especially the white light on the trees.

Christmas in Gothenburg IX

As I have written before the theme this year is love. Therefore one can find a "kissing stop" (pusstation) here and there. I think it is cute and actually saw people stoping by to kiss.

Christmas in Gothenburg VIII

These goldes spheres remind me about a solar system. Cool idea.

Christmas in Gothenburg VII

Happy New Year!




This is a photo taken of Götaplatsen and the statue is called Poseidon. I have written more about it before, if you would like to read it, please click here.

Christmas in Gothenburg VI

Pinky-dinky rocks the socks!

Christmas in Gothenburg V

This little park is called Bältesspännarparken and got it’s name thanks to a famous statue that unfortunately is not visible on this photo. In the middle one sees an ice rink decorated in a christmacy way. One can come here and ice skate for free which is really nice. During the summer the ice rink becomes a fountain.

Christmas in Gothenburg IV

I really like this photo and the blue light it catches. It looks very icy and cold ina nice way. This photo is taken from the Kungsportsbron built in 1810 and in the background one can see Stora Teatern (the big theatre) which is irradiated with red light.

Christmas in Gothenburg III

Yes it is quite cold here, even the canal has frozen. In the background one can spot two tiny Christmas trees made of light and a flagpole. The truth is that almost every flagpole has turned into a Christmas tree. Ingenious, if you ask me!

The street along the canal is Stora Nygatan which is quite famous because of its odd numbers. You can find out more about it in my previous post here.

Christmas in Gothenburg II

This statue is called “Kopparmärra” which translated to English would mean “copper mare”. The king on the horse is Karl IX and he was involved in the founding of the early Gothenburg. Moreover, this is a very popular meeting place for the citizens of Gothenburg and I think it is even nicer when it is irradiated by the greenish light which is also part of christmas-light project this year.

PS. I think the shadow makes an dramatic effect. DS.

Christmas in Gothenburg I

From the 13th until the 31th of December thousands of Christmas lights glow over the city. Apparently the theme is “love” and one will find “love-spots” here and there where one is supposed to kiss and hug. I find the decorations beautiful and the theme is cute.
