Thumbs up

He was selling Situation Stockholm at Drottninggatan. I had an appointment nearby, but was in town early which gave me enough time for a photo walk. He reminded me of someone and it took me a while to figure out that he looked a bit like the actor Magnus Krepper.

Winners and losers

Amanda will probably be a part of the new Government. Elisabeth is on her way out. Nice bike.

Slava Ukraini!

Sergels torg. From the weekly demonstration. Link to the Flickr photo if can't see it here.

Stockholms Ateljéhus

Artist community building at Glasbruksgatan on Södermalm. With 31 studios. Shot with my 85mm lens. A vertical panorama from three photos. Link to the Flickr photo if you can't see it here.

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.
