A sunny Spring day

Hornstull Kajsas i tullen Babylon Zum Franziskaner Bänkad
Five recent street shots. We start with two photos from Hornstull, a hip area on Södermalm with a lot of trendy cafés and restaurants, two of which you can see here. But everything is really down to earth. As I took the second photo, a group of friendly drunks were nearly run over by a police van that honked it's horn to wake them up! The third photo shows Babylon, an institution at Björns trädgård, also on Södermalm. The fourth shot is from Skeppsholmskajen near the water in the old town, where there are lots of construction going on at the moment. I remember hearing the story that Zum Franziskaner at Skeppsbron dated back to 1421. The beer hall itself says that it dates back to 1622. But the latest I heard, or read, which was at Wikipedia, says that it opened for business in 1889, and that it has since moved to this building that was finished in 1910. Still, if you enjoy a beer, go for it. Finally, popular benches at Sergelgatan close to Sergels torg and the cultural center. A good spot when the sun is shining.
