Drottninggatan

Looking back Beyond Retro Duke Lunette Window All we have is now 7-Eleven Pasteria Happy Hour On the balcony Beer O'Clock How to successfully block a street No available seating Waiting at the crossing Not seeing straight Queueing for a hot dog Drottninggatan
It sure was a fine day. I parked the bike at Sergels torg and went for a stroll along Drottninggatan. Queen Street in central Stockholm. It is the busiest pedestrian street in the country with shops, restaurants, cafés, apartments and much more. Here are my photos in reverse order. Had to stop halfway down the street to take of my jacket, which I count as a good sign of Spring. In one of the photos people were queueing for a free soda.

  2. A wonderful collection of snapshots. I also find the Swedish kitchen with pizza and pastries really funny. The reflection of the photographer in action is also really nice. Well done.

  4. Ha. No need for a jacket. Good! I have just now discovered the Martin Beck books. Would be nice to know what you think. Maybe they are old fashioned now. I don't think so!!

    1. Great books. There are a few different Beck movies also. From the 1976 movie, The Man on the Roof with Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt as Beck. And then six movies from the 1990s with Gösta Ekman. Not to mention the 50 or so TV movies with Peter Haber!
