Somebody told me recently that you can gauge the amount of time it's going to take the sun to set by holding your arm out and seeing how many fingers fit between the sun and the horizon. Given that my arms are about average length, and my fingers are about average size, I saw no reason that this wouldn't work for me.
So when I set up my camera the first evening that I wanted to get some shots, I was ready for action. But I wasn't ready for what happened next.
The sun goes sideways in Sweden.
Yeah, it went down like it was going to set normally for a while, and then, about two or three fingers from the horizon, it starts just moving to the right, moving to the right... like an old hippie who suddenly comes into money. It does go down, eventually, but it's a matter of hours not minutes. So these were well-earned. I hope you enjoy them, and you can see more here.

Also towards city hall.
