Can you spot a bit of playfulness, elegance, quality, roots, comfort and joy ? The architects behind the shopping mall Täby centrum sure hope so. These are the values they wanted to capture in their logotype - one yellow ball and one red.

Crammed between a parking lot and the railroad lies a stream in Upplands Väsby.

back to the future
We Swedish people tend to do as we're told. Take this recycling thing. Most of us gladly sort our garbage before disposing of it and since the nearest recycling station is probably not located where we live we might well have to transport the trash before getting rid of it. And then it'll come back one day, recycled into something different. Amazing.

solna centrum (5)
Reading, walking, using our cell phone, eating some fruit. Sometimes we just want to remain within our own private sphere. Life in a subway station.

playground wisdom
Mulle Meck is the handy-man character figuring in a series of children's books written by George Johansson and Jens Ahlbom. 2008 a Mulle Meck-park for children was opened in Järvastaden, Solna - a creative playground filled with technical gadgets, engine parts and slides in all imaginable shapes.
This inscription, found in the park, summarizes the Mulle Meck philosophy - and has a relevant point for most of us too:
there's usually a solution on the other."

husby-sjuhundra kyrka (2)
King Canute I of Sweden was probably the person who took the initiative to erecting Husby-Sjuhundra Church. History tends to become slightly fuzzy after 800+ years.

water, be gone!
Back in April we had a bit of discussion on the topic of how to keep water out of subway stations. Here now is a close-up of one of the kinds of devices hanging from cave ceilings.

tales of the uncollected
The archipelago is a star attraction for tourists as well as a resort for the locals. Still, not every corner is a pretty sight. Here's where garbage is (supposedly) being collected in Furusund.
