A bicycle parked on the cobblestone street leading to Köpmantorget (Merchant's Square) in Gamla Stan (Old Town), Stockholm, Sweden. This small square was, notwithstanding the name, never used as a market. Instead, when it first appeared in historical records on a map dated 1733 as Kiöpmanne T., it was named after its location on the eastern end of Köpmangatan (Merchant's Street), the street leading to Stortorget (Grand Square), the square which used to be the main market place in Stockholm for centuries. Before 1685, the two blocks north and south of the square were united and on the location was a vault (Köpmanvalvet) during the Middle Ages forming one of the city gates; Köpmanporten (Merchant's Gate). In 1912, a bronze replica of Bernt Notke's sculpture Saint George and the Dragon was placed on the square.

Born and raised in Sweden, moved to Oregon 20 years ago. Roaming the Oregon Coast with my camera, and sometimes venturing outside my 'neighborhood', trying to catch the beauty the world has to offer ... as someone once said: There's beauty everywhere, you just have to open your eyes.
