Thanks to artists Staffan Hallström and Lasse Andréasson there is artwork in the Masmo subway station as well. Several paintings share a common theme, "bring the sun down into the subway".

Högdalen can lift your spirit (and your body as well). Here's an escalator in the subway station.

One at a time, please! A couple of trains rushing towards the Old Town station both want to take part in this subway day.

Our sister blog pixels is celebrating subway day with the big guys. We on plenty won't be left out! Here's an interior shot from our modern fleet of subway cars. They're quiet, they're comfortable and with fewer bigger cars you feel less isolated and more safe when traveling at odd hours.

The subway is a treasure for anyone interested in signs. There are all sorts. This one shows us how much longer we'll have to wait and where we might end up if we take the next train.

Now, here's a sign of the times - literally speaking. The time until next departure is shown highlighted, and the direction of the lines
is clearly visible too.

The subway world is a world of signs. Here is part of the network geography. Tourists who aren't entirely familiar with words like "Fjärrtåg" (long distance train) or "Pendeltåg" (commuter train) will have to rely on the symbols. Bilingual signs should be an obvious thing in this day and age.

Our big sister blog pixels is busy celebrating subway day. Meanwhile, exclusively here on plenty, we can reveal the photo I was aiming for last summer at Västra Skogen (here) when I got this instead. You be the judge, which one is better?

Today is not subway day but it's theme day alright so we take the "green line" to Skogskyrkogården, our Woodland Cemetery. The very first things we notice on the station platform are these comfy chairs by Hans Bartos. It's a wooden place altogether and not just the landscape. (here)

The cemetery is officially a UNESCO World Heritage. We will see more of Skogskyrkogården in the coming weeks.

The train is arriving at Old Town subway station so I can take a photo of it. It's sometimes difficult to chose what photo to publish, but I think I made the right choice. This photo can serve as an illustration that sometimes you have to wait for the right moment to arrive.

No point in rushing here anymore. A southbound train
is leaving the station Västra Skogen.

Someone pointed out that our subway is so clean. Judging from how my clothes and my bag and everything else looks when I’ve been down there snapping photos I wouldn’t immediately agree. It does have a relatively fresh look compared to the underground networks of some other major cities in Europe.

a quick note

2007-03-13T21:36:00.000+01:00

Somebody dropped a note at Rissne subway-station. I can't read it. What does it say ? Is there a hidden message telling me that I missed Per's excursion to the music museum ? Who can tell ?

Not entirely sure what I was aiming for here... :) Subway station Hallonbergen this afternoon.

Now that I'm redoing the ceiling I'd better get myself a decent cleaning machine for the floors. This one, although not in mint condition, seemed to be available on Zinkensdamm subway station.

A bit of moist and some algae is all it takes. Time hasn't been friendly to this wall at the Kungsträdgården subway station.
