That is Nyköping Castle, well, what's left of it. It's been around for 800-1000 years, I'm not sure exactly. It's most famous for the “Banquet of Nyköping” in 1317 where King Birger Ladulås invited his brothers Eric and Valdemar to a feast only to throw them in a dungeon and let them starve to death. It's rumored that he threw the key in the stream you can see just in front of the castle, the key has never been found though.Galen said:
edit: actually you can't see the stream in that pic
Hold on and I'll upload one where you can.I found a VR-tour thingy on the web if you would like to take a closer look at it:

And if you want to sit by the water and have a glass of wine you can go to one of those red houses there in the distance, that's a restaurant

A couple more pics today.
Actually I don't know what this was that was leaning on the old barrel. It looked nice though
Classic railroad shot. I haven't been able to take shots like this before so I had to now that I can.
An unplanned shot that had a nice red element in it when cropped
I liked the chaotic side of this one.
An old grinding stone at my fathers cabin.

Sorry to say that I don't really have many more that are worth showing. Didn't take too many there. I have this one, which isn't very interesting, of the entry though:Galen said:Thank you very much sir, Read and looked at this last night but fell asleep before I could reply

And this s just above the doorway:
And I would hardly call myself skilled. Not yet. That would be kinda insulting against those that can REALLY handle a camera and have a great eye for composition. I'm learning still. I might not be born with "the eye" but I believe it's something that can be learned.
Awesome. And regardless of what you think, your pictures are the first I've enjoyed in a long time. I'm not one for this arty farty crapI Robert I said:Sorry to say that I don't really have many more that are worth showing. Didn't take too many there.
