stock

Stock from a dry dock at Beckholmen. Picture taken before the dock was enclosed by the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. It's kind of sad that the code has to be introduced  as it limit access to port areas.

through the eyes of a child

huvudsta

A waste-basket and a couple of benches out of focus might not reveal much. But the trained eye of a true subway connoisseur will recognize that band of colour stripes along the cave wall in Huvudsta subway station.
