Härnösand - Mainland and island

Härnösand and the sea go together. At least half of the town is built on a large island (see the map) so the sea literally runs through the center of town. So far in my near-year of blips there have been 14 pictures showing the town and sea in the same image. I have plenty of pictures of the northern and southern sounds but not so many of the central bit. So here is one to redress the balance, the fifteenth image.
On the left is the island of Härnön (even that largehill in the background is on the island. The impressive building is the "Residence" where the governor of this province lives. Governors are appointed by the government and have no direct political power.
In the foreground the summer fountain, and behind that a smaller island, Mellanholmen - the middle isle!. The mainland is to the right, out of picture.
