Johannes church

Here is a view from the railway bridge back towards the center


The two spires belong to the Johannes church


This is a closer view of the church

Now I'm again two days away so I'll leave you with a cute little fellow that I found during one of my walks in the old town region. This is a Gottland pony (no taller than a great dane) also called Gottland russ. (Gottland is an island in Sweden).

  4. That church is quite an imposing structure. You'll have to show us what it looks like inside one day. And that pony...fat and happy! Enjoy your break.

  6. The neon lights add a surreal quality to the first photo with the church at the center. I love the surreal nature of reality!
