Street scenes

Mösspåtagning Revolution Gone shopping Taking a moment Feeding the birds
A mix of recent street scenes from around Stockholm. It was "mösspåtagning" in Stockholm a few days ago.Student cap day. The city was filled with soon to graduate secondary school students drinking beer all day long. They continued to do that for the rest of the day, evening and night. Here they are at Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm. I read a news report where local police asked the parents to pick up their drunk kids, so it sounds like a day to remember! The guy wanting a revolution was trying to get more recrutes at Hamngatan, where I also spotted the happy girls with the big bag and what have you. In the fourth photo we see a woman at a complete standstill on the busy pedestrian street Drottninggatan. The teenage bird feeder was observed at Kungsträdgården.

These are fascinating photos. I wondered what all those hats were about. Glad you explained that. Love the girl feeding the birds.

Busy place! I think I’d be the person who prefers to feed the sparrows.
