Sweden  | 2006

In Summer 2006, the Mentor Series team journeyed to Sweden, the so-called “Land of the Midnight Sun,” where snow-capped mountains framed a rich and varied landscape for our trekkers to photograph the magnificent palaces, ancient fortresses, and delightful Scandinavian traditions that have been preserved since the age of the Vikings.

From the narrow cobbled streets and gabled medieval buildings in the old towns, to the striking masterpiece of 20th century architecture of the Stadshusent, the city of Stockholm offered our trekkers a rich blend of history and modernity.

Our private motor coach transported participants from one breathtaking view to the next: the intricate Baroque façade and looming towers of Kungliga Slottet, Storkyrkan—the oldest building in Stockholm, Svenska Akademien—the Royal Academy of Literature, and Borsen—the famous stock exchange building.

From Sodermalm, our shooters had an expansive view of the central city and port of Stockholm from the Southern Island, with small ferryboats and fisherman dotting the foreground, all pre-arranged by our Mentor Series team.
