Two photos from a recent walk at Sergelgatan in central Stockholm. It ends at the big square Hötorget where I take all the flea market photos. And it starts near Sergels torg. The street was the first ever pedestrian only street in the country. It is lined on one side by five high-rise buildings that I have showed you before, and the photographer in the second photo is zooming in on one of those buildings. The guy in the first photo is busy snapping away at a sculpture called Sergelminnet. Two hundred and fifty years ago, there stood a metal foundry here. The sculpture, made by Göran Strååt, shows the sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel working on a sculpture. The building was demolished back in the 1950s to make way for the high-rises.
