This picture clearly shows the heat leak on the roof of Sjömanshotellet in the foreground (the Seaman Hotel in English) and a lovely background. Picture is taken from the terrace of Mosebacke, long live king Sune and Mosebacke monarchy. Mosebacke monarchy or Radio Mosebacke was a radio show first sent in 6 october 1958. I'm a month older than the monarchy.
Nursing IT is something everyone must do from time to time. I have never heard a wounded computer shout Medic... in the field, but I have never been in a computer combat so what do I know.
You wouldn't believe what fun you can have with a dumpster. A fellow member of our team has a green leadlight for his camera. I couldn't resist catching it (and a part of him). Wonder what he got.

The political majority in Sollentuna has been distinctly non-socialist for as long as anyone cares to remember. Here the setting sun introduces a surprise redshift giving a new glow to the old town hall.

One morning with bright sunshine in December 2008 was King Frost ("Kung Bore") visible on everything outside my house, I'm now waiting for the snow ...not!

The eighth of my nine photographs of Nynäshamn is looking past the Örnäsudden area of Bedarön towards the town
The Sture Mall all dressed in blue for the night. It's quite an eye-catcher, don't you agree?

Being a car owner can be a real pain for those living in the city. (And the rest of us are beginning to think likewise.) Not surprisingly, the concept of carsharing is gaining momentum in Stockholm. You pay a fixed monthly fee to be an authorized customer, book your vehicle over the Internet, pick it up and leave it at fixed locations.
... you might see this sight. Provided you stand where I did. On one of the two bridges crossing Kungsgatan. Next time we will get even closer.

For my seventh of nine photographs of Nynäshamn, we have a slightly closer view of the islands of Norra Stegholmen, Södra Stegholmen and Bedarön.
I've been trying to find out a little more about these islands but it hasn't been easy.
A picture of Bedarön can be found on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Herring; another can be found on Nynäskajaks blogg and there is also another here.
The railroads have been connecting people for well over a century. What better place then to wish everyone a very merry Christmas?

Even the snowmen are moving inside now. This group was observed in Tumba shopping mall today, amusing the bypassers.

For my sixth of nine photographs of Nynäshamn, we have turned Westwards away from the islands of Norra Stegholmen and Södra Stegholmen to Bedarön.
The islet in the foreground is Finnhällorna.
After a long day it's good to know that someone else takes care of the driving

For my fifth of nine photographs of Nynäshamn, we have turned 180 degrees looking South towards Norra Stegholmen and Sodra Stegholmen.

Bob the Builder will be back tomorrow. Let's call it a day at Alströmer Street!

For my forth of nine photographs of Nynäshamn, we are looking North-North-Easterly in the direction of Stockholm.
I'm not certain but I think the islands in view include Västra Slangholmen and Östra Slangholmen.
For my third of nine photographs of Nynäshamn, I'm panning outwards to show you the gasworks and lighthouse together.
I like the way they have tried to hide the tanks behind the trees, although I suspect it is more a security measure than an aesthetic gesture.
Another peek at the fascinating subway station Solna centrum. Here's an example of "political art" from the seventies. Notice the capitalist airplane spraying the poor forest...

This is the second of nine photographs of Nynäshamn.
Did you ever see a smaller lighthouse than this one?
I don't know what the yellow sign on the left says (there is one a similar distance away on the other side), but I suspect it is something like "No unauthorised access/landing".
Back at the Hornsgatan hump (Hornsgatspuckeln). I think this is the strangest decoration: a small hand reaching out from the concrete. Someone has given the begging hand a coin.
A small sculpture of a rat at the Hornsgatan hump (Hornsgatspuckeln). This section of the 2.3 kilometres long Stockholm street is decorated by some strange sculptures.
Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, our railroads have been neglected for decades. Here's a view from St Eric Bridge.

This is the first of nine photographs of Nynäshamn.
I thought I'd start with the least aesthetic picture, so things can only get better.
