One of the lions sculpted by the Frenchman Bernard Fouquet on a plinth on the Lejonbacken next to the north facade of the Royal Palace on Gamla Stan district, Stockholm, Sweden. The photographer is looking north-east-by-north showing a large number of passenger ferries berthed in the Norrström water and alongside the Sodra Blasieholskajen on the Norrmalm district waterfront. The Grand Hôtel is in the right background and the Handelsbanken is to the left of centre.
