Slussporten

This year several new restaurants will open under The Golden Bridge at Vattentorget, all part of Nya Slussen. I walked by Slussporten the other day while taking a few photos in the area. Any guests using these sofas looking out over the square with the sluice can expect to be photographed as this new square is very popular both with locals, tourists and photographers.

Four street snaps from the old town

Back in Stockholm again, been a while. I parked the bike at Kornhamnstorg in the old town, or Gamla stan as we like to call it, and went for a stroll. Nice day for it. 7C. Quite a few tourists out and about. Here are four street shots from the main street, Västerlånggatan.

Winter white

Theme day. White. Back at my favorite cemetery. Skogskyrkogården at Gamla Enskede. The first photo shows the snow covered Meditation Hill. Known as Almhöjden in Swedish. We can see snow on the ground in the birch forest at the cemetery in my second photo. I use that green bench sometimes. I did so just an hour before someone stole my ebike last year. Closing in on Stockholm I stopped on the Skanstull bridge for another photo of the concrete pier. No one there on this day, but the lunch eaters and sunbathers will soon fill it up once again. We finish with a panorama photo of the circular pier at Lake Drevviken. I walked out looking for ice skaters, noticed two groups, but I only had a 85mm lens with me so the photo I took of them wasn't too good.
