Windows

Christmas at Ersta Fönster Ersta sjukhus
I took a walk at Ersta Diakoni a couple of days ago. Located at Fjällgatan on Södermalm in Stockholm. It is a not for profit", "voluntary" and "idealistic" organisation. I could not find a better English word which was weird. In Swedish we call it a "ideell" organisation. Anyway, they operate a hospital, social engineering education and more. The word diakon btw, is Greek and means to serve. They have been around here at Ersta since 1863. I usually come here for two reasons. The great view over Stockholm, and also to check up on the building sites as Ersta Diakoni are currently busy building a new hospital across the street from their old place. The architecture is a bit different, hence the third photo.

That third window is quite different from the first two.
Merry Christmas!!

The whole facade of the new hospital looks like that. It is a big construction site as the city is currently building a station, to a new metro line here.

Very beautiful pattern of windows and intersecting lines. If that were a hospital, the patients would be like caged chickens inside lol
