Vanadislunden times seven

I decided to eat my lunch at a park, which is always a good choice in the Summer. So here are seven photos taken from Vanadislunden, a park in an area of Stockholm that has a fun nickname. It is known as Siberia. It was considered so far away from the central parts of Stockholm that it was like being deported to live there back in the day when they started building houses here. In the top photo, you can see the Gustav Vasa church tower at Odenplan. The girl has a great view over the city, from the top of the hill. She is known as, flicka i aftonsol. Made by the sculptor Anders Jönsson some seventy years ago. In the third photo, we can see Vanadislundsreservoaren. That is a longish word for the old water reservoir. Designed by Gustaf Améen a century ago. Many people mistake it for something else, and I guess it does look a bit like an old fortress. The Northern Towers can be seen from all over the city. Next the church with the beautiful name, for obvious reasons. Sankt Stefans kyrka. Built just over a century ago. Oh, and behind the fence there are a lot of nearly naked people having an excellent time. In the sixth photo, we see Nyponet. A twenty-one-story apartment building at Körsbärsvägen. Very close to both the university and to KTH. The first student apartment in the country. Built on a hillside in the mid 1950s. The architect was Dag Ribbing. And lastly, walking down the hill towards Sveavägen we pass buildings belonging to Cederdals Malmgård. The only buildings of this type still in existence. All one-room apartments. Built a century ago. Two of the original four buildings are still here today. They were modernized back in the early 1970s.
