Walking around the block

Four photos from S:t Eriksområdet on Kungsholmen in Stockholm, where the former hospital is coming down. The modern apartment buildings behind the digger are at Grubbensringen. The hospital moved out a few years ago and can today be found in very modern buildings at Hagastaden. On this site you will soon find new apartments. Oh, and the funny loking streetart in the top photo could be a new version of the Roe Deer art that I have shown you before.

Vine at the Sandsborg cemetery.

Soft and girly

I figured this street photo from Ryssgården on Södermalm would work nicely for the theme day, which is Soft. She seems very soft this woman. She always dresses in pink and walks around with her soft toys. I have seen her in the area a few times and one of my Flickr contacts mentioned that he had seen a her a few times as well. I think she was posting something at the notice board at the Slussen metro station when I spotted her a couple of days ago.

Early Autumn

On my route to and from Stockholm this little beach at Lake Drevviken. Hökarängsbadet. Photographed from the boardwalk.

Piano man

I have seen and photographed Michael Goj at a few different places in the city. Well, twice here at Stortorget, and then one time at Vattentorget.

Hands of Cuba

Cubans in Stockholm protesting against the Trump administration. They do this every week. On this day I met them at Kornhamnstorg in the old town.

That Old Tree

A first Autumn visit to the old tree this year. It was a fine day.

Notice board

This notice board at The King's Garden is always interesting to look at. At least if you are not looking for any information. So Swedish word of the day is anslagstavla.

It is just a facade

But a rather good one. Fersenska palatset at Blasieholmen in Stockholm. Photographed from Blasieholmstorg.

Livspusslet

Neon art. By Josefin Eklund, who goes under the alias Neon Girl. Livspusslet. The daily grind. An illustration of times gone by in this neighbourhood. MOOD. Jakobsbergsgatan.

Balance board

I used to enjoy games like this one as a kid. But os a somewhat smaller scale. Sergels torg.

Out rowing

My buddy Hasse wanted to go on a promenade, again. In Nynäshamn, again. Strandvägen, again. So that's what we did. Although to change something we walked in the wrong direction, compared to what we would normally do. I took a few snaps, but wasn't really feeling like it. It was a fine early Autumn or late Summer day though. Sunny and maybe 18C. We stopped for thermos coffee and cake on the cliffs overlooking the bay, as is the rule. Another rule, for me at least, is to take a photo of the spa at Nynäs Havsbad, and here is that photo with a long-haired rower taking center stage.

Thumbs up

He was selling Situation Stockholm at Drottninggatan. I had an appointment nearby, but was in town early which gave me enough time for a photo walk. He reminded me of someone and it took me a while to figure out that he looked a bit like the actor Magnus Krepper.

Winners and losers

Amanda will probably be a part of the new Government. Elisabeth is on her way out. Nice bike.

Slava Ukraini!

Sergels torg. From the weekly demonstration. Link to the Flickr photo if can't see it here.

Stockholms Ateljéhus

Artist community building at Glasbruksgatan on Södermalm. With 31 studios. Shot with my 85mm lens. A vertical panorama from three photos. Link to the Flickr photo if you can't see it here.

Each to their own

I had just jumped off the bike at Götgatsbacken, ready to go for a walk when this person walked past me, so I grabbed the camera from the bag and took a quick photo.

Volvo P 1800

Classic Volvo. Probably restored by the people at Järudd.se For sale at the moment. Asking price is 260,000 SEK. Spotted a while back while out on a walk on Södermalm in Stockholm. Link to the Flickr photo if you can't see it here.

Walking by

Sometimes when visiting the old town I park my bike under the golden bridge at Vattentorget and the new Victoria sluice. From where I took this photo. Well. it is of course two photos of people walking at Skeppsbron. Those strolling to the left are heading to Gamla stan. The people walking the other way could be on their way to Södermalm.

Bow Tie

Walking around the busy Hötorget flea market kan get you hungry. And when that happens you walk over to Oves hjulkorv on the corner of the square and buy yourself a hot dog. Just like Bow Tie man did here. He is a regular at the market and is always well-dressed.

Ihagee Exa

So I wrote a post just now with biker photos from a big cruising event. With photos linked and inbedded from Flickr which is what I always do, but then when I looked at the post none of the photos showed, so I deleted the post. Now trying with a photo from the weekly flea market at Hötorget instead. Let me know if you can see it.

It will all be over by tomorrow

The General election in Sweden that is. Photo taken at Mariatorget on Södermalm in Stockholm a while back.

Summer in Stockholm

Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. A new sun deck opened here earlier this Summer. It is a permanent fixture with a great view over the Riddarfjärden bay. Lots of differents chairs for the sunbathers.

Invader was here

The famous, but anonymous street artist Invader visited Stockholm this week. So now I have nineteen of his mosaics to track down. Well, make that eighteen because I spotted this one today.

The dogwalkers

Six dog walkers. All photographed on the same afternoon, in the same neighbourhood, during the recent street party Nytorgsfestivalen on Södermalm in Stockholm.

Festa Major a Catalunya

A last bunch of photos from the cultural festival in Stockholm. Fun to see all these costumed processional giants from Catalonia in Spain during the cultural festival in Stockholm. Known as Gegants and Cabezudos. No idea who they are, though.

At the flea market

A Summer visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget. This was during the Cultural Festival weekend and I will show a last bunch of photos from that event tomorrow. Oh, and in the third photo a well-known politician, Beatrice Ask is discussing the upcoming election with a possible voter.
