Stockholms Ateljéhus

Artist community building at Glasbruksgatan on Södermalm. With 31 studios. Shot with my 85mm lens. A vertical panorama from three photos.

Each to their own

I had just jumped off the bike at Götgatsbacken, ready to go for a walk when this person walked past me, so I grabbed the camera from the bag and took a quick photo.

Volvo P 1800

Classic Volvo. Probably restored by the people at Järudd.se For sale at the moment. Asking price is 260,000 SEK. Spotted a while back while out on a walk on Södermalm in Stockholm. Link to the Flickr photo if you can't see it here.

Walking by

Sometimes when visiting the old town I park my bike under the golden bridge at Vattentorget and the new Victoria sluice. From where I took this photo. Well. it is of course two photos of people walking at Skeppsbron. Those strolling to the left are heading to Gamla stan. The people walking the other way could be on their way to Södermalm.

Bow Tie

Walking around the busy Hötorget flea market kan get you hungry. And when that happens you walk over to Oves hjulkorv on the corner of the square and buy yourself a hot dog. Just like Bow Tie man did here. He is a regular at the market and is always well-dressed.

Ihagee Exa

So I wrote a post just now with biker photos from a big cruising event. With photos linked and inbedded from Flickr which is what I always do, but then when I looked at the post none of the photos showed, so I deleted the post. Now trying with a photo from the weekly flea market at Hötorget instead. Let me know if you can see it.

It will all be over by tomorrow

The General election in Sweden that is. Photo taken at Mariatorget on Södermalm in Stockholm a while back.

Summer in Stockholm

Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. A new sun deck opened here earlier this Summer. It is a permanent fixture with a great view over the Riddarfjärden bay. Lots of differents chairs for the sunbathers.

Invader was here

The famous, but anonymous street artist Invader visited Stockholm this week. So now I have nineteen of his mosaics to track down. Well, make that eighteen because I spotted this one today.

The dogwalkers

Six dog walkers. All photographed on the same afternoon, in the same neighbourhood, during the recent street party Nytorgsfestivalen on Södermalm in Stockholm.

Festa Major a Catalunya

A last bunch of photos from the cultural festival in Stockholm. Fun to see all these costumed processional giants from Catalonia in Spain during the cultural festival in Stockholm. Known as Gegants and Cabezudos. No idea who they are, though.

At the flea market

A Summer visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget. This was during the Cultural Festival weekend and I will show a last bunch of photos from that event tomorrow. Oh, and in the third photo a well-known politician, Beatrice Ask is discussing the upcoming election with a possible voter.

Castells

There was a Spanish theme at the recent Cultural Festival in Stockholm. I watched these two Castell groups from Catalonia build human towers at Kornhamnstorg in the Old Town.

Scenes from the cultural festival part III

A brass band performing for a grown-up crowd at Vattentorget. And K-POP non-stop for a somewhat younger crowd at Sergels torg. All part of the cultural festival in Stockholm.

Scenes from the cultural festival part II

A second batch of photos from Kulturfestivalen. The girls in the second photo did what only teenage girls can do. Show up early for the best seats in the house. Or in this case close to the stage at Gustav Adolfs torg in front of the opera house where the band they were waiting to see did a soundcheck. In the third photo you can see Riksdagshuset. The Parliament building at Helgeansholmen. The Norrbro bridge and the area close to the water slowly filled up with people enjoying food and drinks. And that is where I took the rest of the photos.
