A boardwalk promenade at Lilla Essingen

Lilla Essingen Gröndal Utkiksbacken Reimersholme Färgfabriken Under the bridge Balconies Luxviken Lilla Essingen Primusgatan
I took the bike over to a tiny island in Stockholm called Lilla Essingen. Parked at a marina, took a photo of a few boats before walking along the shore and the boardwalk snapping away left and right, and here are the photos. The second photo shows the suburb Gröndal. Still in Gröndal on the third photo, but up on a hill called Ormberget. A century ago, the houses here were built for the working class. The cupola on the top building were often used as a landmark by sailors passing through Lake Mälaren below the hill. Next we see a few apartment buildings on another island, Reimersholme. Färgfabriken means the color factory. Located at Liljeholmen with the new high rises as a backdrop to show architectural differences! I shot the red buildings from the boardwalk, aiming the camera under a very busy bridge. The area is known as Genova. Next, four photos from Luxviken at Lilla Essingen. This area used to an industrial part of the city, but that started to change some twenty years ago when all the industries closed and were replaced with new apartments.

Looks like a nice place. It seems just to be waiting for the sun.

These buildings do look simple and clean in colours. Reflecting the class in your city
