Norr Mälarstrand..

Image
Norr Mälarstrand (Swedish for "Northern Shore of Mälaren") is a street on Kungsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden. Note the sculptures and the crow-stepped gable type of design at the top of the buildings. A first proposal for a boulevard (or street) on the location in 1863–64, intended to embellish the area with a westbound entrance to the city similar to Strandvägen, the simultaneously proposed eastbound boulevard which, in contrast to the former, was actually built and became the grandiose front of the eastern district Östermalm. For Norr Mälarstrand, however, it would take another half-century before construction work on the Stockholm City Hall (1911–23) resulted in the urbanization of the area. Per Kamperin on 500px

2014 Luigi Pira Barolo Serralunga, the juice of the grape is the liquid quintessence of concentrated sunbeams..  Winemaker Notes: Intense garnet red with orange reflections.
