Four street snaps from the old town

Fixing a flat tire Paint It, Black Café Schweizer Butt of the day
It was one of those warm and sunny Spring days. I parked the bike outside a Government building in the old town, as there are always a couple of security guards there. Walking along Stora Nygatan I spotted a young girl fixing a flat on her Danish made bike, so I stopped for a photo. Turning left at the next alley, I walked up towards the German church. That is when I spotted a worker standing on a ladder, painting. But he was a little too quick for me, so when I pressed the shutter button he was back on the ground. There are always a few tourists spending too much money at Café Schweizer, one of them spotted me as I took a photo. We end with the butt of the day because I spotted this family of four. Got the camera out of the bag, took a quick snap. Walked on, only to now realize that you can only see one jean butt. But it made for a better photo. At least in my book.

Sadly not. Had to use my smartphone and upload to Flickr.

I love doing that too, wandering aimlessly through the old city and taking pictures of whatever comes my way. Well done again Stefan and let's hope the systems around us don't fail.
