There is no story around this picture as it speaks for itself, nice winter weather and -4°C in the air. The view is from the parking place at Kyrkhamnsvägen towards lake Mälaren.

Ever wondered what it's like inside a cell? Just follow the tiles and find out at University station with the help of artist Françoise Schein.

Many stop by to admire the altar in St. Gertrude's Church. We've seen it before.

Patterns of red letters by artist Françoise Schein at University Station together make up sentences from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

These big windows have several richly decorated sets with childrens toys. Many of the animals are moving and do attract lots of people every year. Right now it's kind of late in the evening, so most people (except me?) are already at home
Yet another amazing window in St. Gertrude's Church.

A symbolic compass in the floor helps commuters maintain their sense of direction. Again, this is station Danderyds sjukhus.

Time for a parting shot from Storkyrkan. The altar appears a bit dark and gloomy, if you ask me.

Free speech is great but there's got to be some limits. Here's a phone at University Station.

Storkyrkan (The Great Church) is the oldest church in Gamla stan - the Old Town.

Detail from photographic prints on enamel in the subway station under Danderyd University Hospital. Artist Klara Källström created these in 2008.

Sometimes in life we need to choose the right ferry. One of these has been docked for the weekend. The other will depart in half an hour. When in doubt, check out where all the cars are lining up. That's the one - the next Rindö connection.

Today I want to show you Paradisfåglar (Birds of Paradise), woven by textile artist Sten Kauppi. This gigantic work of art has been recently renovated and covers an entire wall in Ansgar Church.

Getting stuck in a Friday afternoon queue is no fun. However, this one comes with a splendid view. Queuing on board a road ferry to Vaxholm.

Did you have a scale model railway when you were a kid? I didn't but I can certainly imagine the fun for kids of all ages. Here's the Lidingö tramway again.

Another glimpse of the small sculpture "Människan i centrum" by Sven Lundqvist.

that my yard would look like this. It never does. Mostly it's filled with all sorts of weeds, and I'm fighting an everlasting battle to win. In the end mother nature's always the winner. I may enjoy a few short days, having won at least one fight, but as soon as I turn my back....
But then again, I don't have a staff of people to do it either, I just can't afford it. The residents of this house can.

Churches are important concert venues. Here we're rehearsing Handel in Ansgar Church.

Here's the pulpit in Lidingö Church, seen from a different angle.

Baggeby Grand Central Station is sort of... well, compact. The Lidingö tramway will find its way here on a regular basis.

Girls carefully warming up for that (weekly?) exercise in Ansgar Church. The church offers conference facilities, premises upstairs for youngsters and even a room for indoor sports.

Huge, is the word. This house, built inside Stockholm Central Station, is built of gingerbread. Truly. I'm not joking. 294 kilos of flour, 92 kilos of marge, 110 kilos of sugar, 66 liters of syrup and the same amount of water. Add about 10 kilos of spices (cinnamon, clove, ginger and bikarbonate) and you end up with enough dough to build this house. Don't know where to find an oven big enough to bake it though. It's all part of an advertising-campaign of course. You'll find the company's name if you look closer.
Ansgar Church is a modern church in the middle of the village.

Lake Norrviken offers ample fishing and - in winter time - a popular, fifteen kilometers long skating track.

A street lamp in Lidingö shopping centre tries to make itself seen among all those autumn leaves - long gone by now, I'm sure.

Some terms come loaded with warmth and hospitality. Positive vibes through and through. Guest harbour is such a term.
