Pictures from Drottningholm Palace and Park: The Guards Tent, The Chinese Pavillion, The Drottningholm Palace, The Drottningholm Theatre (backside), A view from the English Park at Drottningholm.
I live in the close vicinity of the Drottningholm Palace, which is part of the World Heritage, with the famous Drottningholm Theatre and the Chinese Pavillion among the attractions. The palace is also the home of the Swedish royalties. The Palace Park is a wonderful place to go for a walk or have picnic, which a lot of people often do. It is also one of the most visited tourist attractions in Sweden.
I took the boys there a few days ago, so that they could play in one of the mazes in the park. It was so quiet and the Park was almost empty. One part of the Park is called the English Park with lakes and small islands (as the "opposite" to the formal Baroque Park which is in front of the Palace). There are always hundreds and hundreds of geese and quite a lot of swans there, and this time we also saw a crane. I have never seen one before and it was very fascinating.
After the maze fun we went to the Chinese Pavillion and had some ice-cream in the little café. The other visitors were mainly old ladies, which gave the whole visit a certain kind of peacefulness and serenity.
It was definitely a peaceful day with an air of timelessness. The sky was so blue, the sun was shining and it was so warm. ...How I do like that!
