Early Summer at Hammarby sjöstad

M/S Lisen Springtime Stockholm Sightseeing Regattakajen Räls A new view Skistar Luma Park
An early summer visit to Hammarby sjöstad. I still remember when this area was just a very run-down industrial part of Stockholm. And before that there was a very busy dock here. The only thing left from that in this series of photos is my arty shot of the rail left as a message of the old times. In the top photo, one of the free ferries that anyone can use. Then Kajsa's at the docks. A very popular place for coffee, a bite to eat or an ice cream. In the third snap, we see one of the sightseeing boats pass by. Then a typical apartment building very close to the water at Regattagatan. Then, my arty rail photo. Next a view towards Sickla and Lugnets terrass, with the new highrise building sticking up at the back, it was not there the last time I photographed that view. It will house offices, stores as well as a roof top terrace. Next we see the ski hill that I have climbed up a few times in recent posts here on the blog. We finish with another architectural gem. The old light-bulb testing room at Lumafabriken. Built back in 1930. Today an office I think.
