Waiting for a friend

Another visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget in Stockholm. Before walking into the market I spotted this woman sitting on the stairs at The Concert Hall, or Konserthuset as we like to call it. And when I left the Haymaket square she was still there but now with her friends. I am having some issues to deal with at the moment. It could affect my blogging here. Only time will tell I guess.

View from a bridge

From a recent bike ride in Haninge. This is the nature park Slätmossen in Handen. It includes wetlands and ponds that purify stormwater from Handen before it flows toward the Baltic Sea. It supports a rich bird and wildlife population. I have been photographing this view for many years.

At the lakes

I visit to the lakes at The Rudan nature reserve in Handen. It was a beautiful Autumn day. A man was fishing from the cliffs from where I took this photo. No luck for him, although I think he was still very happy with his day.

Walking around the block

Four photos from S:t Eriksområdet on Kungsholmen in Stockholm, where the former hospital is coming down. The modern apartment buildings behind the digger are at Grubbensringen. The hospital moved out a few years ago and can today be found in very modern buildings at Hagastaden. On this site you will soon find new apartments. Oh, and the funny loking streetart in the top photo could be a new version of the Roe Deer art that I have shown you before.

Vine at the Sandsborg cemetery.

Soft and girly

I figured this street photo from Ryssgården on Södermalm would work nicely for the theme day, which is Soft. She seems very soft this woman. She always dresses in pink and walks around with her soft toys. I have seen her in the area a few times and one of my Flickr contacts mentioned that he had seen a her a few times as well. I think she was posting something at the notice board at the Slussen metro station when I spotted her a couple of days ago.

Early Autumn

On my route to and from Stockholm this little beach at Lake Drevviken. Hökarängsbadet. Photographed from the boardwalk.

Piano man

I have seen and photographed Michael Goj at a few different places in the city. Well, twice here at Stortorget, and then one time at Vattentorget.

Hands of Cuba

Cubans in Stockholm protesting against the Trump administration. They do this every week. On this day I met them at Kornhamnstorg in the old town.

That Old Tree

A first Autumn visit to the old tree this year. It was a fine day.

Notice board

This notice board at The King's Garden is always interesting to look at. At least if you are not looking for any information. So Swedish word of the day is anslagstavla.

It is just a facade

But a rather good one. Fersenska palatset at Blasieholmen in Stockholm. Photographed from Blasieholmstorg.

Livspusslet

Neon art. By Josefin Eklund, who goes under the alias Neon Girl. Livspusslet. The daily grind. An illustration of times gone by in this neighbourhood. MOOD. Jakobsbergsgatan.

Balance board

I used to enjoy games like this one as a kid. But os a somewhat smaller scale. Sergels torg.

Out rowing

My buddy Hasse wanted to go on a promenade, again. In Nynäshamn, again. Strandvägen, again. So that's what we did. Although to change something we walked in the wrong direction, compared to what we would normally do. I took a few snaps, but wasn't really feeling like it. It was a fine early Autumn or late Summer day though. Sunny and maybe 18C. We stopped for thermos coffee and cake on the cliffs overlooking the bay, as is the rule. Another rule, for me at least, is to take a photo of the spa at Nynäs Havsbad, and here is that photo with a long-haired rower taking center stage.
