Vasa Bridge (Vasabron)

"When I saw the pastor aproaching me from a distance on Vasa Bridge, I quickly stopped and positioned myself, leaning on the rail, to admire the view: the gray buildings of Helgeand Isle, the old, worn wooden bath house in Viking style, reflected in the rippling current, the ancient willows dipping their leaves in the Stream." (p.1)

Is this where Glas caught a glimpse of Gregorius?

"...the gray buildings of Helgeand Isle...the ancient willows dipping their leaves in the Stream." (p.1)

The above photo also contains a shot of Rosenbad, mentioned elsewhere in the novel...

"I could see a tiny blue star twinkling above Rosenbad, the ministry building." (p.17)

"In the cloud banks above Rosenbad the moon broke through,and its pale silver light illuminated the colonnade of the Bonde family's ancient palace." (p. 45)
