Photographer's Note
This is Uppsala Domkyrka (cathedral) and Gunillaklockan (bell). The people are here because of the festival "Sista april" (last day of April) when the students parties from early morning to late night =). The day starts with small homemade boats going through the rapids. Later on the students gathers just behind this hill and then runs down to the city. It's a nice tradition where the streets are full of people all day long =).
The picture is taken from the roof of Vasaborgen (castle/prison). Somehow it always rains on this day, so the sky is a little dull.
I see now I should have cropped the picture somewhat on the left side and rotated it to level the horizon.

Hi Johan, Uppsala is the place most in the North I have ever been, thanks for reminding it to me with this nice and lively composition! Looks as if it was not too warm though ... :)

Excellent perspective and composition. About the rotation, you have already said what you should have done, and I agree. It's a pitty the weather didn't help you, but anyway a very beautiful photograph!
