Between the Riksdag and the water is this statue of what I can only call a disporting gent. I have no idea who it is, or why. (Googling wasn’t much help):-

Stockholm Bridges

Next stop on the Baltic cruise was Stockholm for our fifth day in a row of shore excursions. We were getting a bit knackered by then but Stockholm is a stunning city and made up for that. Being built on islands there is water everywhere and loads of bridges.
