Queueing

The life of a modern day tourist, queueing. At Skeppsbrokajen and Strömkajen. Waiting for a ferry to the Stockholm archipelago with it's 24 000 islands.

Tifosi

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.

Ten flea market scenes

Back at the weekly flea market at Hötorget, Haymarket in English. Always fun to do some people watching. I never buy anything, I am happy enough walking around with my Canon snapping away left and right.

Walking the dog

A couple out walking their dog at Eskilsparken in Handen. They commented on the fact that I was aiming the camera into the fountain until they noticed the ice, and then I aimed the old Canon at them as they walked up the hill.

Kornhamnstorg

Usually when I cycle home from Stockholm, I take the same route, Munkbroleden, past the old town metro station, located close to the water. And then, just around the corner from there you will find Kornhamnstorg. And that is where I took these four photos of people enjoying a warm and sunny Spring day at different outdoor establishments.

Four scenes from the old town

Four street scenes from the old town. I did a full circle. Started my walk at the Royal Palace and ended it at the palace. I spotted the girl dressed for Winter outside the Nobel museum, totally in her own world. The Hot Chocolate café at Stortorget is always a big his with visiting tourists. I came across the two school girls a few times during my promenade, they stopped at every shop window. The two guys carrying some sort of equipment noticed me as I lifted the camera.

A Summer memory

This was just a few days ago, well maybe two weeks ago. I was on my way home, and I decided to check out a building site at Årsta. And when I rode my bike over the bridge, I had a feeling that this would be one of the last Summer days, so I stopped for a photo. It was a fine day. Around 23C I think. As I am typing this, the sky is very gray, and the thermometer reads 13C.

Nice day for it

More people sitting around enjoying the sunshine. From Strömkajen in Stockholm. Always a good spot if you enjoy street photography. I snapped this one on a sunny day a while back. This is part of a cafe/ticket office where you can buy a ticket to the archipelago.

Blue Charm

Let the party begin. Burgers anyone? Drinks? People enjoying themselves aboard M/S Blue Charm at Strandvägen in Stockholm on a warm and sunny August day.

Sunbathers at Eriksdalsbadet

Heading home after a longish eBike ride to Stockholm, and a ride around Södermalm I stopped at Eriksdalsbadet for a look at the sunbathers.

Tantolunden

A few photos from Tantolunden, a very popular park in Stockholm. The four young guys were playing jazz for anyone who wanted to listen. The outdoor eating area at Debaser Strand seemed full and a few people were queuing for a table. The grassy areas at the park were filled with people enjoying the Summer weather. The fourth photo shows the French Boulebar. “Freya’s Mamma’s Kök” is a food truck for Mediterranean cuisine and especially Egyptian as classic Cairo street food. The people at the wooden benches enjoyed the street life and some street food.

Like a summer day

There are a few small beaches along the Årstaviken promenade near Tantolunden. As well as piers and marinas that the sunbathers can use. And here are four photos to prove that statement.

The guest harbor

A few street photos from the guest harbor in Nynäshamn. People queuing for an ice-cream, enjoying lunch, waiting for a ferry, or just enjoying the Spring sunshine on what was a beautiful day. Snapped before heading home after a bike ride to the coastal city a few days ago.

Picknickers at Rudan

Theme Day at City Daily Photo. Your response to Covid-19. I guess I was a little suprised spotting this group of people having a picnic in the superb Autumn sunshine at the Upper Lake at the Rudan nature reserve a couple of warm days ago, although I can't blame them.

The ambulance squad

Enjoying a well-deserved break. As seen at the Lower Lake yesterday. It must have been a very tough year for anyone working in emergency medical services. Amazing weather on Friday so I'm sure they enjoyed every second sitting on that jetty eating their lunch.

Poseidons torg

The best place for shooting candid portraits in Haninge would be the square Poseidons torg in Handen. I snapped these photos sitting at a table outside the cultural center. I gave my card to the woman in the first photo. The boy with the blue hair noticed me a few minutes earlier when I took another street portrait of him going the other way.
