River run wild in Uppsala

More photo's from Uppsala. This Fyris river runs wild in the central parts of Uppsala. This photo is taken some weeks ago, in summer. Boats can still sail up the river from lake Mälaren.

And this is a piece of the more modern Uppsala, the department store Åhlens.

It is not beautiful, but a famous, or infamous, part of the modern architecture in the city center.

Summer in Uppsala

Again, I wish you all a happy new 2012!

As you may now by now, vinter is not my favorite time of the year. So I will start this year with som summer photos from Uppsala. In the picture abowe you can se the Fyrisån, the small but beautiful river of Uppsala.

Uppsala is the fourth largest city of Sweden and is just 67 km north of Stockholm, it is also the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. You can se the big cathedral in this picture.

Uppsala University is very old, the oldest one in the country, founded in 1447. Here you can see Carolina Rediviva, the main building of the university library.

Here is a picture of the commercial center of Uppsala, it has plenty of nice shops and restaurants.
What I will say, it is well worth a visit!
