Åhléns City

Klarabergsgatan, Norrmalm. A busy shopping street in Stockholm. Most of the buildings here are new, from the 1950s to the 1970s. Åhléns City is a big department store. I took this photo a while back, before the most recent snow fall.

At the flea market

Another visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget. Not as crowded during the Winter, but still a good turnout. I did not stay as long as I would have had it been Summer. But I think I got an okay mix of photos here.

Brandbergen

Cycling home a few days ago I decided to stop at Brandbergen in Haninge. This is a newish apartment building just a short walk down the street from the rebuilt shopping mall.

Riksgatan

Leaving the old town and walking past the Government building along Riksgatan on Helgeandsholmen. The visiting tourist that I aimed the mirrorless Canon at doesn't look too happy about that.

A late lunch

A Woman and Her Dog

Another visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget.

Swedish word of the day

Övergångsställe. Pedestrian crossing. Drottninggatan/Mäster Samuelsgatan. The busiest pedestrian street in Sweden. Always.

“Let this be the last time that a child loses life in war”

A quote from the then 17-year-old Malala. An artwork at Sergels torg called Hope, by Aleksandra Stratimirović. Part of the Nobel Week Lights in Stockholm.

Swedish Candy

Swedish candy went viral last year on social media. And we sure love our lösgodis. This is a candy store at Slöjdgatan.

Bird Saxophone

Out on a Winter promenade around Mosebacke on Södermalm in Stockholm. This is a window at Södra Teatern.

Nine street scenes

Nine street photos from a recent walk in central Stockholm. Barrels is a burger place at Smålandsgatan. I noticed the bicycle messenger as he came out from an office at Hamngatan. The Café Cruiser was parked at the ice rink at Kungsträdgården. I spotted the happy dad carrying all the shopping bags at Biblioteksgatan, the most expensive street in the city, and that's where I also took the photo of the pop-up store that will sell Patek Philippe watches. Next, Brasserie vau de ville at Norrmalmstorg. The woman on the phone is walking down Drottninggatan, the busiest pedestrian street in the country. We continue to Kungsträdgårdsgatan where people were enjoying their lunch at Restaurant Ricordi. And then one last photo to prove that not everyone had the day off.
