Exploring the city skyline from Fjällgatan while enjoying a raspberry/coconut ice cream. Being a guest photographer on plenty is a tough job but someone's got to do it...

A view of the Old Town
This picture was taken an early summer morning, when I was on my way with a ferry to the archipelago. Stockholm is quite beautiful from the sea.

good night, sister
Hvidovre in Denmark is a sister city of Sollentuna (which incidentally isn't a city at all but an important municipality in Stockholm County). Here's a view towards the commuter train station.

On the Road
This is close to the bus stop I posted earlier.
I suppose to local viewers it will seem obvious that this was taken through the rear window of a coach travelling out of the city.
At first glance, though, it confuses me. In the UK traffic drives on the left. The road is fairly quiet but it doesn't take too long to focus on the car coming towards us and realize we are travelling in the same direction as it and not towards it.
On the other side of the road, that is the back of a bus, not the front. It is one of those bendi-buses as we call them. They are the length of two normal buses and can be seen across Europe. There may be some in the UK but I have never seen one. I hardly think they would cope very well with the corners in most of our city streets.

getting framed in nacka
A creative blend of architectural styles in Nacka strand. Can't say I admire the result but who cares when there's a water view around the bend?

Bicycles Parked at a Bus Stop
This bus stop is on the outskirts of the City Centre.
There seems to be a lot of parked bicycles here.
I wonder whether their owners have taken the bus into the city, or have they climbed those wooden steps and to where do those stairs lead anyway?
Don't look to me for an answer though as I have no idea.

shoeless in Stockholm
Someone is at least one shoe short, or maybe this one is just on display. It has a very good chance to be found though. It was hard to miss.

Soya head office
The head office of Rederi AB Soya (the Soya Shipping Company Ltd), off Maria Square. At our sister blog - Stockholm by pixels - is a photo of m/s Soya III, the first soya tanker ship built for this company (Soya I and II were bought from other shipping companies).

at the bench
The Lidingö tramway doesn't exactly offer a comfy public transportation experience. Still, a few rays of the evening sun works miracles with those benches.

shadows in nacka
An empty bench in the Augustendal Square, Nacka strand enjoys itself making shadows at night. An angel in a bit of a hurry was found right here as well.

Hammarby Sea City
Most of my pictures on this blog so far have described the old parts of Stockholm. Now it is time to share a few pictures of the new parts. Here is a picture of Hammarby Sjöstad.
Hammarby Sjöstad (roughly translated: Hammarby Sea City or Hammarby Lake City) is a part of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, currently undergoing major urban redevelopment, It is located southeast of Södermalm.
Before the current redevelopment began, the waterside area was known as Södra Hammarbyhamnen (roughly South Hammarby Port), a mainly industrial zone. The neighbouring Lugnet was a run-down light industrial area, housing an impromptu trailer park.

be prepared
After a warm and dry summer we did get ourselves enough moist for an entire extra water week. Prudent preventive measures abound and every good citizen will bring his or her own. Here's a serious umbrella caught in standby mode on the Lidingö tram.

Riddarholmen Steeple
So where were the tourists with cameras really looking?
For me you can keep your City Hall; the most splendid sight in Stockholm has got to be this.
The Riddarholmen Church (Riddarholmskyrkan) originally belonged to a Franciscan friary but was much altered in later centuries. The cast-iron steeple built in 1841 is 90m/295ft high. The burial-place of the Swedish monarchs, since 1807 the church has been used only for burials and memorial services.
I don't know what it is, but maybe it just reminds me of home.

life is short, TV is long
For reasons unclear to me, a semi-permanent TV studio was established in the King's Garden park (Kungsträdgården) earlier this summer. Also appearing in this photo are the Opera (in the background) and Jacob's Church to the right.
