Summer in the city
Six late Summer scenes from around Stockholm. Top photo shows a young family checking out the view from Fjällgatan on Södermalm, where I snapped the regatta photos earlier in the summer. I titled the second photo, A man of the world. He was crossing Götgatan, and I was on my ebike at a red light. A new four-story IKEA opened at Gallerian at Hamngatan in late June. Next we see a woman on a bench, down by the water at Riddarholmen enjoying the view over Riddarfjärden towards Söder Mälarstrand. In the fifth photo, people are walking through the cemetery at Sandsborg in Enskede. It is just across the road from the big UNESCO World Heritage Site Skogskyrkogården. Lastly, we head over to Kungsholmen for a visit to Hornsbergs Strand. A new area with high-rises, restaurants and a very popular beach promenade.
We get a good idea how it looks over there and that gives a nice picture.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful city shots. That sounds like a very big IKEA store.
ReplyDelete8000 square meters.
DeleteYou have had some fine summer days and have given us such good tours of the city.
ReplyDeleteThe fifth is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteA fine cemetery, and the road here is a popular shortcut for both school kids, young families and the odd photographer.
DeleteThe life there are captured in your great photo frames
ReplyDeleteLooks to be such wonderful weather. Not too hot and not too cold. Just right for getting out and about.
