Garden of Souls Street
Själagårdsgatan 2 (Garden of Souls Street), Gamla Stan (Old Town), Stockholm • ca. 1620
This doorway at the beginning of Själagårdsgatan is one of the most beautiful and best preserved 17th century buildings in Gamla Stan. The stonemason that created this structure was Johan Wendelstam, a German artisan. During renovation work in 1969, hidden decorations saw daylight, and evidence of early exterior and interior design were discovered.

The streets of Stockholm are so narrow that it’s often impossible to get a shot of the entire doorway. Terry has developed a mixed media technique to combine elements of the scene into one image, which is explained here on her website.
