The Meditation Hill

Cycling through The Woodland Cemetery at Gamla Enskede. Stopping for yet another photo of The Meditation Hill, part of The Path of Seven Wells.

Fence art

Still without a working computer so here is a photo of a building site fence at Vegastaden in Haninge.

Nicole

This is Nicole. She worked as a model for many years. She has a different career today, but when we talked at the dentist earlier this week she mentioned the modelling career so I suggested that we should take a few photos.

Drevvikens strandpark

This is the boardwalk between Klockelund and the Hökarängen beach. A shortcut I use a few times every week. Very colorful on the day I took this photo. I will try again today with the PC, fingers crossed.

Agrikultur

I am hoping to get my PC up and running today, tried twice to start it from a memory stick without much luck. I have two people helping me out. This is a recent photo taken at Nya Slussen. One of two restaurants under the golden bridge at vattentorget. Some sort of storage here.

A glass of red?

If so just follow the sign. Järntorget in the old town.

Saint James's Church

S:t Jacobs kyrka. Across the street from the Opera House. At Kungsträdgården in central Stockholm. Construction started in the 1580s. But it was not finished until the 1640s.

Ardbeg Embassy

I have at least four days of photos on my memory card, but as my PC is still down I have no way of showing them to you just yet, so here is another snap from a recent walk through Gamla stan. The Ardbeg Embassy.

Looking up

The coat of arms of the General Customs Agency in the old town.

Old Town alleyway

One of many cobblestone alleyways in the old town. Looked like tables and chairs further down. Could be a restaurant or an office. Shot with a narrow depth of field with my 85mm lens.

Modern art

My PC is still down and out. Looks like I will have to start it by using a memory stick with Windows installed on it. That might happen later today, or tomorrow, no rush. I took this photo a few days ago while walking around Vegastaden in Haninge. No info about it, but it is new as is the whole of Vegastaden really.

Protest at Stortorget

These protesters can be seen at different places around Stockholm every month. This time at the big square in the old town. The jury is still out weather they are a spiritual group or some sort of sect.

Cigarette break

Stopping for a smoke at Järntorget in the old town.

Scary smile

Out walking at Drottninggatan. The busiest pedestrian street in Sweden. This figure was standing outside Butterick's.

Drip painting

I have more than 20 photos of this unknown street artists work, usually only famous faces but I always have a hard time figuring out who it might be. But I really like all of them. Found this one at the legal graiti wall at Farsta.

Hard at work

A man working on his laptop at Mälartrappan, part of Nya Slussen.

That time of the year again

Butterick's. Drottninggatan. Stockholm. Spooky times. Link to the Flickr photo.

Bike Messenger

Bike messenger in Stockholm. Link to the Flickr photo.

The Dogwalker

A woman walking her dog at Vita Bergen. In the background the Sofia church on the top of the hill. I noticed her in time so I photographed this as a vertical panorama. Aimed at her, took a first photo, then raised the camera for three more photos to get the big church in the scene.

Autumn at Sofia

One of the old wooden houses at Nytorget. Looking good in Autumn colors. Sorry if the photo disapperars. If so try following the link to Flickr.

A charming neighborhood

From a recent Autumn walk at Vita Bergen, part of the Sofia neighborhood on Södermalm. This short alley is called Bergsprängargränd. That translates to drilling and blasting, btw, but I dont know more about the origin of the name. Two hundred years ago a lot of people working at the docks lived here. Today all the old buildings are protected and owned by the City. If you would like to rent an apartment here expect to wait a few decades before it is your turn.

Janne Baah

Visiting a friend for coffee, and later a beer made by one of his friends, a reggae musician. Lock Hop and Barrel Janne "Baah" Lager. Tasty with a horse meat sandwich. Also got a virus during my visit so I ended up in bed for a few days, and I passed on the virus to another friend!

Warning

Streetart. Stockholm.

Autumn promenade

People out walking at Konradsbergsparken in Stockholm.

A centenary building

At the corner of Fridhemsgatan and Norr Mälarstrand at Kungsholmen. A very famous building, celebrating 100 years. Often photographed, especially this time of the year with the colorful "vildvin".

The Ring

A popular waiting area at the central station in Stockholm. Ringen.With four artworks representing East, West, North and South. This is Sobek. An alligator God. Representing West. Made by Stig Blomberg.

A Stockholm map

I visited my friend Jujja. He moved to a new apartment recently. He had this old Stockholm map on the wall and now I use it as my background photo on my PC.

At the aquatic center

Autumn colors at the aquatic center Eriksdalsbadet on Södermalm in Stockholm. All the outdoor venues are closed for the season.

Villa Ludvigsberg

The view back towards Mariaberget on Södermalm from Skinnarviksberget.

Riddarholmskyrkan

Keeping an eye on the Riddarholmen church spire that is slowly coming down for a lengthy renovation. This time from the top of Skinnarviksberget on Södermalm.

Autumn view

The Högalid church towers seen from Norr Mälarstrand.

A familiar face

This anonymous street artist often paints famous faces here at Skinnarviksberget. But I can't always identify them.

Marching and running

Two good workouts, no doubt. Seen at Norr Norr Mälarstrand in Stockholm a couple of days ago while I was on my way to the dentist for the fifth time in the last month or so. Only two visits left with the dentist, Hopefully.

The Butterfly

Slowly getting back to some sort of normality. I moved out of the amily house on Sunday. Currently staying with a friend for a few weeks. This isa sculpture at a big park on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. It is called the butterfly.

A Happy Face

Taking care of a few of my problems today. Going to be a long day. Might have solved a couple of issues yesterday, time will tell. I found this mosaic on a recent walk on Kungsholmen at Lindhagensgatan.

A cultural reserve

This area on Södermalm in Stockholm is known as Åsöberget. Today famous for all the wooden houses from times gone by. It classified as a "Kulturreservat". All the buildings here are owned by the City through AB Stadsholmen.

Autumn Tree

From my recent walk on Södermalm. This is one of my favorite trees in Stockholm. At Lotsgatan. I will show you a few more photos from this area tomorrow.

Francesco

Hello again. Some of my problems have been solved. I had a tough night, but come the morning two issues was fixed, which was nice. Here is a recent photo I took while out walking at Södermalm in Stockholm.People enjoying the Autumn sunshine at Francesco forno & cucina.

Just to let you know

I am dealing with a few issues at the moment. Could take me a while to sort everything out. So probably no more uploads to Flickr and this photo blog until all that is fixed. Might drop in to leave a comment or two on your stuff though because why not.

Waiting for a friend

Another visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget in Stockholm. Before walking into the market I spotted this woman sitting on the stairs at The Concert Hall, or Konserthuset as we like to call it. And when I left the Haymaket square she was still there but now with her friends. I am having some issues to deal with at the moment. It could affect my blogging here. Only time will tell I guess.

View from a bridge

From a recent bike ride in Haninge. This is the nature park Slätmossen in Handen. It includes wetlands and ponds that purify stormwater from Handen before it flows toward the Baltic Sea. It supports a rich bird and wildlife population. I have been photographing this view for many years.
