Six Street Shots
Here are six snaps taken while out walking at Kungsgatan, Malmskillnadsgatan, Sveavägen and Kammakargatan in central Stockholm a few warm days ago. We start with the Grand cinema at Sveavägen where Olof Palme watched a movie before being murdered in 1986. Second, we see K25, at Kungsgatan 25. It consists of ten restaurants. A place where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner, order takeaway. Third snap says something like kids will be kids. My guess is that they were waiting for their mothers, who were inside shopping. There are two bridges crossing Kungsgatan. The fourth and fifth photos shows the view in both directions from Regeringsgatans bro. The final photo for today shows a street called Kammakargatan. The last "kammakare" in Sweden passed away in 1942. And he had been the last "kammakare" for half a century by then. So now you know that.

Nice those bridges.
Good views!
I love all these views. Such a beautiful city to photograph.
These are all great shots.
These stone bridges connecting the buildings are so classic and gorgeous. Love the history embedded in modern architecture
is a kammakare a comb maker? Or the given name. I have struck out.
It is. And a lot other things as well. Usually made from bone. There is a museum at Skansen where you can see how they worked back in the day.
