A new deck in the water at Söder Mälarstrand on Södermalm. Behind the red heart. It has been there since November of last year. Part of a project to make this part of Södermalm more interesting. At least according to the chairman of Stockholms Hamnar, Jens Holm, a politician that I met in the middle of nowhere many years ago when he was a bit lost and needed some directions to get to a ferry! The title means Stockholm in my heart. That was the title of a song by a popular artist called Lasse Berghagen.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-62373358939278044422024-03-18T08:00:00.001+01:002024-03-18T08:22:38.754+01:00The unwritten rule<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53585527234/in/dateposted/" title="The unwritten rule"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53585527234_5dca23cf98_h.jpg" width="800" height="1200" alt="The unwritten rule"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

My first and my last photo from Friday. I cycled home in a chilly Winter rain, which is never much fun. At home, I noticed a few new crocuses on the lawn, so I walked in and got my 60 mm macro lens and took the top photo using my Canon 77D. A few hours earlier I was on all fours at the UNESCOWorld Heritage Site Skogskyrkogården at Enskede in Stockholm trying to get a photo of some snow drops. For that shot I used my mirrorless Canon with the 85mm lens. Oh, and we are expecting a serious snow fall in the greater Stockholm area today.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-72564788508257512362024-03-16T02:00:00.001+01:002024-03-16T02:10:42.610+01:00The sunny spot<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53584776066/in/dateposted/" title="The sunny spot"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53584776066_9a05ec5f13_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="The sunny spot"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I often cycle over a bridge called Skanstullbron on my way into Stockholm. Halfway over I sometimes stop to photograph this view, so you have probably seen it before. Betongbryggan. The concrete pier. At a square called Fredriksdalstorget at Hammarby sjöstad. From late Spring to mid-Autumn it is often very crowded with serious sunbathers, or hungry office workers enjoying an outdoor lunch. This time of the year it is quieter. Last Summer I remember photographing a delivery boat approaching with food to some hungry person.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-66845911450828683212024-03-15T07:30:00.001+01:002024-03-15T07:38:01.544+01:00Quote of the day<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53585228746/in/dateposted/" title="Consumerism is a gross failure of imagination"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53585228746_8851e91186_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Consumerism is a gross failure of imagination"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Cycling past the Farsta graffiti wall a few days ago I could see an artist working on what looked like a wild animal, so I made a mental note to remember to stop for a closer look and a photo the next time I was in the area.

Cycling home from Stockholm I stopped at Johanneshov, at a bicycle parking to eat an energy bar, I always have a few with me just in case. Standing there at the Tele2 Arena I spotted this group of football fans walking up the stairs. The upcoming game was DIF-IFK Göteborg. A match in the Swedish Cup. 15 fans arrested, DIF won the match 3-0. But I am sure these group enjoyed the match, and that they were also seen and heard.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-1891887805726984872024-03-11T08:11:00.002+01:002024-03-11T08:17:29.659+01:00Slalom anyone?<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53577752227/in/dateposted/" title="Hammarbybacken"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53577752227_7a6b1cb5b4_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Hammarbybacken"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Well, maybe one more Winter related photo then. And not only because it is -5C this morning. This is a hill in Stockholm called <a href="https://www.skistar.com/en/hammarbybacken/winter-at-hammarbybacken/">Hammarbybacken</a>. This time of the year you can ski down the slope as you can see in this photo that I took from Fåfängan a few days ago. A few Summers ago I was walking up that hill when I was caught in the hailstorm of the century. The plan on that day was to shoot a number of photos from the top of the hill but I had to quickly make my way down the muddy, and very slippery hill, and I haven't been back since.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-58045965642453256892024-03-10T03:30:00.001+01:002024-03-10T03:41:30.473+01:00A final Winter post?<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53574799838/in/dateposted/" title="Ice fishing"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53574799838_d048aa2f30_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Ice fishing"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A bunch of photos taken from the circular pier last Sunday on my way to Stockholm. From the bike path, I could see a few people out on the ice on Lake Drevviken, so I had to stop for a closer look. It was two guys ice fishing. You can see old buildings at Sköndal on the second photo. I was chatting with a few people on YouTube yesterday evening. On a channel called, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@letswalkaroundstockholm">Let's Walk Around Stockholm</a>, and someone pointed out that another member had posted videos from this lake, so I checked them out, and the guy who had uploaded the videos, Kenneth, told me that he took a Winter bath here just a few days ago. Possibly from the pier here.I will not go swimming before midsummer!Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-42296633745775654732024-03-09T09:14:00.004+01:002024-03-09T09:14:29.623+01:00International Women's Day<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53575339121/in/dateposted/" title="International Women's Day"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53575339121_c936638226_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="International Women's Day"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A day late I know, but this graffiti work at the legal graffiti wall in Farsta did not appear until yesterday and when I took this photo I had already published yesterday's post. But better late than ever, I guess. The work is signed with an anonymous A, I can't remember seeing that signature here before.

A few recent photos from Hagastaden in Stockholm on the border to Solna. Everytime I visit I see a new building under construction. These all have <a href="https://folkhem.se/vara-bostader/bostader-till-salu/cederhusen/till-salu">cedar facades</a> and looks very cool to me. I think the address would be <a href="https://vaxer.stoch.kholm/omraden/stadsutvecklingsomraden/hagastaden/information-och-nyheter/nu-oppnar-delar-av-sodra-och-norra-hagaesplanaden/">Norra Hagaesplanaden</a>. There are two streets here. One is for bicycles and the other one is for very slow vehicles, six to eight km/h. There will be a big area for the kids to play in and a lot of trees, benches and outdoor cafés. The new metro station will open later this year.

Yesterdau morning I debated with myself about packing the zoom lens as I knew about the NATO/Gripen flyover, but in the end decided not to bring it. Walking across Stortorget in the old town, I said hello to the former PM Stefan Löfven, and asked him if I could take a portrait. He said, what? And then pretended not to understand me before walking on and then chatting with a few people outside a café, to the amusement of two suits that also had recognized the politician. And then, a few minutes later at Riksbron as I had just jumped on the bike, the flyover happened, so I hit the brakes. Jumped off the bike. Grabbed the camera in the bag and snapped away, hoping for a good shot of the B-1B Lancer, the B-52 Stratofortress and the two escorting JAS Gripen planes with the 85mm lens. How was your day photography wise?Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-3128439084730953692024-03-06T08:30:00.002+01:002024-03-06T08:53:50.944+01:00Around the block<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53566891921/in/dateposted/" title="Crossing the street"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53566891921_b121e51926_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Crossing the street"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Five recent photos from a walk in the central parts of Stockholm. A woman crossing the street at Stureplan. The entrance to the mall Sturegallerian. Two people with their smartphones near a bridge at Kungsgatan. An eBike parked outside a 3 store, also at Kungsgatan, where I guess the owner of the bike works. My eBike was parked nearby, btw. And in the fifth and final photo the corner of Sveavägen/Kungsgatan. The empty property owned by Hufvudstaden has seen many shops over the years. Adidas moved out last Autumn, I guess because of the high rent.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-14459456544711770212024-03-05T08:30:00.001+01:002024-03-05T08:44:14.816+01:00Breaking News<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53567284529/in/dateposted/" title="Breaking News"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53567284529_bb012f2c81_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Breaking News"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

We interrupt the flow of Stockholm posts on the daily photo blog with this breaking news story from my lawn in Tungelsta. After a cold night with-3C, the temperature rose to 7C and that is when this crocus woke up. Later in the day I also managed to sit on the veranda in the afternoon sunshine enjoying a mug of coffee while listening to a podcast. But this morning we are back at freezing from a very gray sky.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-43604085841850580992024-03-04T09:30:00.001+01:002024-03-04T09:37:48.237+01:00Gone fishing<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53556322432/in/dateposted/" title="Glitsh"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53556322432_103b912828_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Glitsh"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Often when I cycle home from Stockholm, I use a very narrow bike path that goes along a canal known as Riddarholmskanalen. It runs between Gamla stan and Riddarholmen. Above it, you will find a very busy road. I, for one, would like to remove that road all together, something not very likely to happen. Anywho, the urban canal is popular with anglers as are all waters around Stockholm, btw. Not sure what might have happened here looking at the two funeral wreaths. I nodded to the fisher before taking the photo, and he nodded back. The guy walking on the second photo is doing that on the very narrow bike path that can be scary to ride on during rush hour. Just a few days ago, local politicians took a decision to widen the bike path, but it will probably be a few years before we can see a result on that. The building that you can spot on the second photo is Riddarhuset. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Nobility_%28Sweden%29">House of Nobility</a>.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-57915845639781712412024-03-03T08:30:00.002+01:002024-03-03T08:52:01.378+01:00Window shopping<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53563008169/in/dateposted/" title="Nike Girl"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53563008169_541c017ef3_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Nike Girl"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A late February visit to the weekly flea market at Hötorget in Stockholm. Great to be back there again. A bit colder this time of the year, and not as many tourists, but quite a few locals to photograph as you can see.

<a href="https://citydailyphoto.org/2024/02/23/city-daily-photo-march-theme-reflections-in-windows/">Theme Day. Reflections in windows</a>. My second post with photos from Götgatsbacken. Folket•Tillsammans•Kompis. That means The People. Together. Buddy. The window is the office of an ad agency. Or two agencies that have merged. <a href="https://www.tillsammanssthlm.com/">Tillsammans</a>. Och <a href="https://www.folketsthlm.se/">Folket</a>. I took this photo over the weekend, while out looking for a fitting Theme Day photo. A flickr contact from Perth in Australia, who now lives in Stockholm, and that just like me photographs all over Stockholm on an almost daily basis left a comment saying that he took the same photo at roughly the same time, although he is yet to publish his version.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-18333089984591542272024-02-29T10:17:00.003+01:002024-02-29T10:17:50.930+01:00Tree in Mist<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53555590754/in/dateposted/" title="Tree in mist"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53555590754_16f092d6e8_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Tree in mist"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

My last two visits to the old tree looks like this, so to spice things up a bit I took a photo from a different angle. Makes it look even spookier, I think. The meteorologists at SMHI informed us that according to their ways of looking at things, Spring arrived to Stockholm earlier in the week. As I am typing this it is maybe 3C from a gray sky, so I will most likely dress up in full Winter uniform when I jump on the bike in a bit.

I have a new photo project. Sort of. I often enter Stockholm via a street called Götgatan on Södermalm. Very busy. The northern end of it is hilly. It is known as Götgatsbacken. Filled with small shops. Boutiques. Restaurants. Pubs. Book stores. Underground station. A mall. And a lot of people. Everyone visiting Stockholm seems to end up here at least one time. This is where I have photographed the busking opera singers a few times. Anywho, a couple of days ago I decided to start documenting it more closely. This is a lamp store called MässingMäster. They also have a repair service and a few very photogenic windows.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-36756448889762361222024-02-27T05:00:00.001+01:002024-02-27T05:39:37.940+01:00Year of the Dragon<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53554184351/in/photostream/" title="Dragon"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53554184351_3f0fcc87a0_h.jpg" width="800" height="1200" alt="Dragon"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Every time I bike to and from Stockholm I pass nearby the little beach, Hökarängsbadet at Lake Drevviken. And every now and then I will do a detour to see what is happening. The beach is a green lawn during the Summer and often very crowded. On this visit, the entire lawn was ice. How the guy standing next to his bike made it there, I do not know. I was wearing my icebugs, but still had to be careful where I stepped. The young girl in the second photo were preparing to go skating on the still frozen lake, but they took their time, so I decided to leave without getting a snap of her out on the ice.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25181781.post-70120620180045712132024-02-25T00:00:00.001+01:002024-02-25T00:00:59.296+01:00Munkbroleden<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/steffe/53538640621/in/photostream" title="Munkbroleden"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53538640621_5a639ca19a_c.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Munkbroleden"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Two people out running at Munkbroleden in the Old Town in Stockholm. The boardwalk from where I shot this opened up after a lengthy re-construction last year. Part of the never ending building site mess that is Slussen.There are a number of benches here from where you have a good view over the water and parts of Söder Mälarstrand. In the background buildings at Gamla stan, including the Pub/Nightclub Engelen. It opened in the late 1960s. I was a frequent guest there back in my early 20s.

Views from the top of Skinnarviksberget at Södermalm in Stockholm. In the top photo you can see the old ship Mälardrottningen, moored at Riddarholmen with the church in the background. Quite a few kings buried in there, btw. The second church tower in that photo is the newly renovated Storkyrkan in the old town, next to the Royal Palace. Two other churches in the next photo. Maria church, and Katarina, named after the Burroughs. In the middle, the Mosebacke water tower. Stockholm City Hall in the third photo, where once a year the Nobel Prize is awarded to scientists. In the fourth photo, classic buildings along Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen. And in the fifth and final photo of the day. Rådhuset also on Kungsholmen, and in the background Norra tornen at Torsgatan in Vasastan.Stefan Janssonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542072508543147268noreply@blogger.com7
