Pictures from a 3 week stay in Lyon as part of research leave (“sabbatical”) during the 1st term of the 2009-10 academic year.
The final set of pictures is from Skansen, an open air museum on the island of Djurgården dedicated to traditional pre-industrial life in Sweden. Like the local Beamish museum, it features reconstructed buildings and period-dressed “interpreters”. As it was off-season only a small number of the exhibits were open and staffed, and the entrance free was much reduced.
A slightly loose collection vaguely themed on other areas of Stockholm and transport. First a little tour beginning at Kungsträdgården.
The first of a series of photo sets from a few days in Stockholm either side of a small conference outside of Stockholm. This first set is based around the historic heart of the city, Gamla Stan (the Old Town).
A set of photos from a visit to (a small fraction of) the State Hermitage Museum.
