Dip net fishing boats in central Stockholm. Dip net fishermen were earlier a more common feature in the city life in this area. That was some time ago. The remaining boats are more of a historic remain. In the old times they could result in catches that were able to bring good incomes.

Strömparterren (The Current Parterre) is the promontory located in Norrström east of Norrbro on Helgeandsholmen in central Stockholm . The promontory was named after the garden-like park ( parterr ) that was laid out there in the early 1830s, under the direction of architect Fredrik August Lidströmer, son of Norrbro's master builder Jonas Lidströmer .

At the far end of the semi-circular promontory stands Carl Mille's sculpture Solsångaren , which was erected in 1926 in memory of Esaias Tegnér . The statue will depict Tegnér's poem Song to the Sun. On the Strömparterren there is another sculpture, Dimman , a female figure in bronze by Gusten Lindberg , erected in 1910. From the Strömparterren you can also reach the Medieval Museum , which has its premises under Norrbro.
