Autumnal colours in Gothenburg, Sweden, are quite spectacular. The botanical gardens and public parks are a perfect showcase for this seasonal vibrance. The public park even has a pool with seals, and further up is an enclosure for penguins!As lovely as Gothenburg is by day, it is quite beautiful by night too, and the abundance of structures and lights provided many shooting opportunities. You will note from the images below that I am a great fan of water reflections.Further out from the town are the beautiful Delsjon Lake and Vrango Island, which are definitely worth visiting.I was only there for a few days and presented here are only a small snapshot of the city and its surroundings as I saw them. I hope you will enjoy them, and perhaps make your own visit there one day. Please visit http://www.goteborg.com/en/ for more information.

The mighty Alvsborg Bridge. Took a bit of trekking and industry to find this spot and make this shot.

Thanks Trong! Hope you have a good one! :)

Beautiful photographs. I have never been to Gothenburg, but now I know I would like to visit and see the scenery first-hand.
AlphaWhiskeyOct 8, 2012 11:47 AM
Thanks Ron! Definitely worth a visit!
Ron McMillanOct 8, 2012 11:54 AM
is photography your hobby or your job or both?
AlphaWhiskeyOct 8, 2012 12:13 PM
Both! :)
ron mcmillanOct 8, 2012 12:32 PM
Cool! I used to be both, but not any more. Now I write. A friend of mine in Gothenburg pointed me to your gallery.

Thank you Mika! :)

Fantastic picturesfrom a fantastic City. Is there a chance to get a printed one in a Poster format?
AlphaWhiskeyOct 18, 2012 02:49 PM
Thank you Mike. Depends on which image and how large you want the poster to be!

How ironic that Hagge Geigert (A theather and TV personality, 1925-2000) who lost a toe in a tram accident in Denmark got his name on a tram in Göteborg!
