Photographer’s Note

Some while ago I posted this photo where you could see two churches in the same picture. One of them was the Masthugg Church (Masthuggskyrkan) and here you can see it again, together with yet another church.

Masthuggskykan is a really a landmark in Gothenburg, it is on top of a hill and can be seen from all parts of the city and from far away out on the sea. It was inaugurated in 1914 and the architect was Sigfrid Eriksson.

The other church below it, is the Saint John Church (Johanneskyrkan). This church was built in 1866, by the initiative of the priest Peter Wieselgren. After his death, the church became a sailor´s church in 1878. In 1996 this church was taken over by a private organisation, the Gothenburg City Mission, and does no longer belong to the Swedish Church.

This photo was taken just outside the Stena Denmark Terminal, which dominates a major part of the southern riverside in the central city.

Hej Gunnar,
The Gothenburgener (is that the expression?) relly likes churces on the hills. First I thought that this was the church in Möndal. Perfect blue sky. Simpel but clear photo, it works well!
Ha en riktigt skön helg!

Hej Gunnar,
Johanneskyrkan is nicely embedded in greenery and Masthuggskyrkan stands majestically on its hill. They seem to turn their towers away from each other. A very clean composition with nothing but the green hill and the blue sky apart from the churches. Well, almost. Without the building to the left it would have been perfect.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hello Gunnar,
I like tonal contrasts in this composition and the juxtaposition between the two towers. Very good sharpness.

Hej Gunnar,
Enkelt och väl balanserat. Snyggt foto. Uppenbarligen gott om kyrkor i Göteborg.

Hej Gunnar
As Mikeal has pointed out, there are lots of churches in Gothenburg and that just gives us more beautiful places to photograph and share with other TE visitors. Great POV!
