The main is from my walk around Gothenburg (G?teborg) yesterday. To keep
you from having to look at the map, think Denmark and think all the way
north, to the tip. If you drop back down south 30 km or so and trace a
line to the east, across the water, you'll get to G?teborg. It's an
industrial town somewhat comparable to St. Louis. Some of its industries
have disappeared (ship building and repairing) while others are looking
shaky (the automobile industry, Hasselblad). On the other hand, Ericsson
is well represented here, Saab Space.

Anyway, a reminder of a more bustling past at the harbour, a submarine
propeller now on dry land:

The other shot for this week is from Oslo. Karl Johann is full of street
performers.

I had a hard time choosing a main, but if you follow the links in its
caption, you'll see some, but not all, of the other candidates. If any of
them strike your fancy more than the one I chose, I'd be happy to hear
about it. More Leica shots later ...
