    Gamla Stan2

    Another Gamla Stan, had to import the bottom sign as I could not make it out when painting it, quite a challenge on the eyes lol

    Hey, the blurry signage works for me very nicely and rather fits with the style and palette with those values. The difficulty for me reading any of it is that I don't speak that language so you could be using hieroglyphics to get the same tourist effect from me.

    Lovely. I feel like I've been walking and would like to stop for a coffee and to watch the passers by. I'm on vacation with this one. Remember that book "Europe on $6 Dollars a Day"? You beat their price! You should advertise Pat's Travel Agency. Meals not included.

    You certainly found a mine of pleasant old building architectures in that place.
    Only the nordic font and language would suggest it's a Scandinavian place, so marvellously warm You rendered the scene!
    Alas we cannot hear the sounds of what the signs say, otherwise I guess we would appreciate fast and short words with various types of pops and guttural emissions which sometimes seem to recall some language we know ... LOL
