Snooker anyone?
Biljardplatset. A classic snooker place at St:Eriksgatan since 1963. They are open 363 days of the year. You can play all sorts of games here. They also serve food and drinks. And if you are a real nerd you can check out their live-streaming YouTube channel which I am yet to try. I used to play biljard, as we call it, but that was many years ago now. I remember a mishap with a friend's pool cue that cost me some money. Anyway I took this photo while out snapping evening photos so expect a few more in the coming days.

Sporting venues
I still have a few photos to show you from my hike up to the top of the ski hill, Hammarbybacken. And I have actually been up there again, but here are two photos from my previous hike. It is the same view, but I stopped several times on my way up for photos, because why not. They show two sport venues at Johanneshov. The Tele2 Arena is used for football and concerts. Its original name was Stockholmsarenan. The Stockholm Arena, but as sponsors are willing to pay for a name stadium these days, it got a new name. But, just weeks from now, they will change that name to 3Arena. You might remember that I took a night photo a few days ago of the 3 Headquarter building, just across the road from the sport venues. The other arena is Globen. Built back in the late 1980s. But it also changed its name not too long ago, but for a completely different reason. It is today known as Avicii Arena. After the late Tim Bergling.

Old town photo promenade
Time for another walk through the old town. A bit quieter this time of the year. We start at Själagårdsgatan where a hopefull store owner shows off some items for sale. Next, probably the only apartment with a balcony in one of the alleyways. Located at Tyska skolgränd. The woman who lives there, Anna, loves her pelargoniums. She is a bit shy so she never uses the balcony during the tourist hours. In the third photo a facade at the Kornhamnstorg square, close to the water. Quite the story to the fourth photo. A few centuries ago if you were out drinking in the old town you might have visited Källaren Fimmelstång, a popular tavern back in the day. One man who did that in 1674 was the poet Lasse Lucidor. He was out with a few drinking buddies, and he was in a terrible mood. When Lucidor refused to drink mumma with Arvid Christian Storm, Storm challenged him to a duel and promptly killed Lucidor with his court sword. I photographed the unlucky poet's grave a few years ago. If you have a question about any other photo, fire away!

Swedish Society for Nature Conservation
Two thousand forest-associated species remain on Sweden's red-list. And you can see a few of them here, from a window at a facade on Kungsgatan, near Stureplan in Stockholm.

Crescent moon
Cycling home on Thursday afternoon in the pitch dark, I stopped on the bike path at the 700-year-old Nedersta farm for a photo of the moon over the trees. And then a couple of minutes later I stopped on another bike path close to the preschool Lilla Lillgården at Stav in Tunelsta for a another moon photo.

A misty morning at Mosebacke
Six photos taken from Mosebacke, high up on Södermalm one recent misty morning. In the first photo, you can see Af Chapman. Today a hostel, moored at Skeppsholmen. Next, Kastellholmen. With the amusement park Gröna Lund on Djurgården in the background. In the third photo, I focused on the cupola on the Sjömansinstitutet building at Slussen. Originally used by a train company that had a station in that building, hence the weather vane. One hundred years ago, a famous artist couple had their studio at the top floor in that building. In the fourth photo, one of the Djurgården ferries crossing Saltsjön. Next, the Nordic museum at Djurgården. We finish with a few colorful lightbulbs.
