John Ericsson

The John Ericsson statue at Berzelii Park in Stockholm. He came up with the propeller among other things. One early such propeller was used during the American Civil War on the Monitor war ship, btw. And if you look closely under the bust, you can see a propeller there. The statue was made by John Börjeson. Still offline, btw.

Sixten recent snaps

Still offline, but here is a recent collage with some random photos from a Stockholm walk. I had to download my Flickr photo to my phone and then add it to this post. Feels very 20 years ago. I might redo this post, or not!

At the flea market

Theme day. Flea markets. As you probably know, one of my favorite places in Stockholm is a square called Hötorget. Haymarket in English. The market there dates back a very long time. My great-grandparents sold their produce there a century ago, something I am automatically reminded of every time I visit. Six days of the week you can buy flowers, berries, mushrooms, t-shirts and more there. But on Sundays it turns into a flea market. And that is usually when I show up. Because nothing beats photographing people. I took these photos two Sundays ago, but I was back at the market yesterday, so chances are that you will see more flea market scenes in the near future. Oh, and I already have nearly 500 photos in my Haymarket album!
