Hepatica nobilis

A few days with Summer temperatures this week. So everything will hopefully turn green again, soon. I photographed these "blåsippor" at Håga in Västerhaninge.

I see you

Visiting Kungsträdgården more and more now as I am waiting for the Cherry Blossom. There is always a lot of people here, so it is a good spot for street photography. The dog spotted me as it waited for it's owner to finish his ice cream. Hopefully the dog got a treat later.

Nice day for it

Sure was a nice day for it. I parked the bike at Vattentorget, the new square that opened for the public last year. Located down by the water in the Old Town. Became an instant hit with both locals and tourists. Still a lot of construction in this area. A few restaurants will open come the Summer. These teenagers were relaxing on the new boardwalk along Munkbroleden.

The stories we tell

Walking down the busiest pedestrian street in Stockholm, Drottninggatan, you see a lot of interesting people. This guy spotted me as I took a few street snaps of him. He then walked past me, stopped, turned around, and asked if I perhaps wanted to take a real portrait of him. Which I did. I then showed him the photo, he looked a bit surprised with the quality of it, which of course made my day.

The doomscrolling era

Spotted while walking along Skeppsbrokajen a few days ago. I counted eight doomscrollers.

Ocean warming

The Lady in Red

Street photography at Skeppsbron, across the street from The Royal Palace.

The Runners

Three happy guys out running at Skeppsbron in Stockholm. It sure was a nice day for it.

Another sign of spring

Nice to see people out on the concrete pier at Hammarby sjöstad again. Whenever I bike into Stockholm over the Skanstull bridge I glance down to the canal at the Hammarby lake to see if there's anyone there. And I often stop for a photo.

Out walking

Out walking along Götgatsbacken on Södermalm. The real name of the street is Götgatan. And then there's the hilly part of said street, and it is always easy to find something to aim the camera at there. People enjoying a beer at Stigbergets fot. A couple walking past the Embassy of the Netherlands. Espresso House if you feel like a fika. Browsing world news. A young mother walking and eating, clearly a multitasker. Green Laces. Vegan shoes? A delivery guy from Wolt trying to figure out why I am am taking a photo of his moped. And lastly a nicely dressed guy walking past the Bruno mall, and behind him a smoker that could loose a kilo or two.

Oldenburg

A German military ship berthed at Skeppsbrokajen for a few days. The Oldenburg. A corvette. So I decided to check it out. The Swedish soldiers all looked happy with the visitors. Nice day for it also. The restaurants just behind me were filled to capacity with people enjoying the fine Spring weather.

Antique store

Antique store at S:t Göransgatan. I think it is operated by one of the vendors that I have photographed a few times at the Hötorget flea market. But here is the fun thing. I have made one of the items that you can see in this photo. But it is not furniture. It is a "låslåda" from Aluseal that sits to the left on the wall outside the entrance here.

Kungsholmen

A bunch of street scenes from a walk around Fridhemsplan and Sankt Eriksgatan on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. People waiting for friends and or public transport outside a big mall known as Västermalmsgallerian. Pressbyrån is a big chain of kiosks, selling tobacco, newspapers and soft drinks, and more. Vete-Katten is a classic café chain in Stockholm, this one just opened at Sankt Eriksgatan. Bus 77.

Out of Beauty

I spotted this cracked egg as I made my way through Kungsträdgården earlier in the week. Outside the Wetterling art gallery. Ongoing exhibition there showing works by Nathalia Edenmont.

Sports car

Walking past an entrance to the century old Nordiska Kompaniet, a luxury department store in Stockholm, I spotted this red sports car. Not sure if that is the owner in the background, trying to look important, but let's say that it is, and that he is waiting for his girlfriend to come out from the store with more bags than she can carry.
