The Mirror

A ten meter high mirror at the 3Arena in Johanneshov. Artwork by Jonas Dahlberg. Turns into a screen at night.

That Old Tree

My first visit to the old tre since late May. A fine Summer day.

Name that dance

Unfamiliar with these moves. Could be something from Pulp Fiction, maybe. This is the Minister for Justice, Gunnar Strömmer to the right. Not sure who his dance partner is.

Dolly Parton RIP

The guy from the LP store Vinylshop at Urvädersgränd paying his respect to Dolly Parton. Two people stopped as I took the photo. One of them hadn't heard the news and he was visibly upset.

United for the climate

Fifty thousand people, (at least), took part in the Climate Rally in Stockholm on Saturday. Greta Thunberg was there of course. As was her organisation Friday's For Future, and 279 other groups. They walked across the city to Gustav Adolfs torg. I joined them here and there in between short bike rides so that I could photograph them at different places. It took the crowd four hours to pass by Sergels torg. More photos in my Flickr album, United for the climate.

Rebellmammorna

Massive climate rally in Stockholm yesterday. They started at Vasaparken. I followed then with my camera from Sveavägen via Sergels torg to Gustav Adolfs torg. 280 different organizations took part. As many as 80 000 people out on the streets. Plus all the onlookers. Rebellmammorna XR Sverige, seen here at Sergels torg were one of those groups. Our general election takes place two weeks from now. The climate have not been discussed enough, hence this demonstration. Still going through my photos from this huge event. More photos tomorrow.

AI fail of the day

As an AI challenge I asked Gemini to identify what this photo shows. It told me that it was the Nobel building in the old town at Stortorget 18. Which it is not.

Taking a breather

Norrlandsgatan.

What are we waiting for?

A passenger aboard the M/S Västan at Strömkajen on Blasieholmen in Stockholm looks eager to get out on the water. It was a fine day for that sort of thing.

Herr Gårman

Herr Gårman is the unofficial pun name of the sign for a pedestrian crossing in Sweden. It translates to You Walk Here, but can also be read as Mister Walkman. No idea how it ended up in the middle of this fish restaurant at Malmskillnadsgatan.

A moment in time

Konserthustrappan, Hötorget. A good spot for eating, reading and kissing.

Situation Stockholm

Situation Stockholm. Street portrait. Drottninggatan.

V150 Hunter

Jägaren. A veteran ship from the 1970s that you can go for a ride with these days. Owned by Sjöhistoriska museet.

M/S Polfors

The school ship M/S Polfors at Söder Mälarstrand i Stockholm. They had to move the ship a kilometre earlier this year because the City wanted a new swimming area and a sauna there to make that part of the dock a bit more lively. A few people at the school managed to get very upset about the move. It will be a disaster! The reason being that it will take the students longer to walk from the school building to the school ship. I believe that the students are strong enough for that short walk. Oh, and just to the right you can see the accordion building at Marieberg that I have showed you here a few times.

Hammarbykanalen
