I have fond memories of the city from our visits to our son when he worked in the Commission. The best photo, however, is the B&W of Eri looking wistful. That said, I also looked at the Swedish art, and was surprised by the fact that I'd never heard of any of them. I looked up Hilma af Klint and was very taken by the very old portrait of her on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilma_af_Klint Have a look at it at its largest - involves a few clicks - and, for such an old image, it positively sings. The beauty of old media is hard to deny. It was probably shot on a large format glass plate. The credit says that it might have been taken in 1901, but that would make her 39 in the image and I think she might be ten or more years younger in it.
