Dark times ahead

Cycling home a dark November afternoon, this is a roundabout at Trångsund.

1959 Cadillac DeVille

Next stop, the cruising at Sveavägen. I could hear the music, (horrible), lifted the camera as I knew that it would be a "raggarbil". Spotted while out taking night shots at Skanstull on Södermalm. Cackan is the owner of the car. I googled her, and she does have an instagram account, but it looks like it is private.

Hi3G Access

Three. 3. The telephone companies headquarters at Johanneshov. Designed by Strategisk Arkitektur. Snapped on Saturday afternoon when I was on my way to the cemetery to take the All Saints Day photo. Funny story, this building is just across the road from the Tele2 Arena that very soon will change it's name to 3.

All Saints' Day

Skogskyrkogården yesterday afternoon. Thousands of people lighting candles at the graves, and also here at the meditation hill. I heard quite a lot of people complaining that they couldn't find the grave they were looking for in the November darkness.

Regnbåge

When I got up yesterday it was calm and 13C. A few hours later I was riding the bike through the aftermath of the Jacob storm in a very unpleasant rain. Very strong winds and the temperautere dropped quickly. Passing the execution rock at Jordbro I noticed a rainbow so I stopped for a quick photo.

One hundred days of darkness

A few years ago, I did a project called one hundred days of darkness. That was after reading about a photo project by Nils Öhman, a Swedish journalist from Stockholm. After he finished his project, he made a book about it. So I decided to give it a go this year as well. Funny story. After eating an early dinner today because of the storm, Jacob, I jumped on the bike and headed for the station here in Tungelsta, where I took this photo for my new project. Thirty seconds later, the power went out, and it became so dark that it was tricky to ride home, even with the bike light on.

Trick 'r Treat

Walking through the old town yesterday, looking for a fitting Halloween photo. Some photoshop here, but it is my photo, so my rules! I removed a bit of advertising and cleaned up the grey wall a bit.

Duggregnet

Three photos taken while making my way up the Hammarbybacken hill. Focusing on the white apartment building. Located in a suburb called Björkhagen. The building is called Duggregnet. Designed by the Swedish/ Hungarian architect Georg Varhelyi. Built in 1957.

Taklampan

Two photos taken as I made my way up to the top of Hammarbybacken. Showing two new apartment buildings at Finn Malmgrens väg at Hammarbyhöjden. The project is called taklampan. There are 64 climate smart apartments here. Built with ThermoWood. The architect firm was Wingårdhs. Very close to Stockholm and equally close to nature.

Taking a moment

I only met a few people on my way up to the top of Hammarbybacken. Two pensioners on their way down. Two people running up the hill, very impressive, and then a total of four people on the top. Three friends from up North that were enjoying the view while chatting away, and this young guy sitting down thinking about life and all that.

Hillside bench

On a glorious Autumn day last week I decided to walk up to the top of Hammarbybacken. The hill used to be 50 meters high, but after the construction of Hammarby sjöstad it is now closer to 100 meters high. The views are spectacular. This is a popular slalom hill during the Winter months. This bench looked very inviting after the steep climb but I didn't try it. Still working my way through all the photos I took, and eventually I will show you all of them.

Underpass

Stopping while cycling over a bridge for a photo through the metro bridge. Aiming the camera at Årstaviken and Södermalm. The router is still not working, but hopefully everything willl be fixed in a day or three. Currenty working on photos I took walking up a slalom hill.

Always in my heart

Autumn promenade at Norra Begravningsplatsen in Solna.

Down by the water

I sometimes ride the bike along Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen and often stop near an ice cream place close to the water. There are many benches there so I can be seen sitting there checking my messages and whatnot. And when I am done with that I will often take a few photos. Like this one of a mooring ring.

View from a bridge

Cycling over Västerbron, a tough bridge for cyclists sometimes, I stopped for a few Autumn photos. And Swedish word of the day. Pråm. Barge. New issue with my router, will most likely take a few days to fix.
