Of course this is how they look. Haven't seen one before? Me neither. This one seems to have failed its mission though, since the text behind it says "In memoriam". Now we're soon at the end of the journey on the Northern Cemetery. One pic is still waiting for release though.
I'd say they do. Most of the time. Like this time. There's no chance a 23m fountain starts in one chimney and ends in another on a rooftop. No, the truth is that the angle just happened to fit. This is a second picture of the fountain found on Pixels earlier.

who might have his/her last resting-ground behind this "A". Judging by the size it might be a family-grave. Did you think we were finished at the Northern Cemetery ? Soon - but not quite yet.
As a single parent, caring for a big family....
Actually the pic is lying a bit. I noticed the bird (a great tit) coming out from behind the hatch, and a few moments later flying in again, staying a while and then out again. I got curious and had a look. Eight small ones in one nest, that has to be a big family! I wonder what became of them, if all survived?
There are two ways to say it. Either like this small glass-angel
or like this somewhat bigger guardian. Both serve their purpose I guess. It would probably be inapropriate to have them the other way around.
For a few days the Pelorus visited Stockholm. I couldn't resist to have a look. After all it's said to be the 11th largest yacht in the world, and how many times do you have a chance to see something like that in Stockholm? It's impressive. Here a shot from an elevated spot
and here from behind. Not your average boat I'd say....and by the way, it's the same "thing" that Per showed us a glimpse of yesterday on Pixels. There's more to come.
....at the cemetery it's time to contemplate - a little to late perhaps ? The northern cemetery is filled with things like this one. Lots of stuff to find. Go there, those of you who can. While you can still leave once you're satisfied.....
This was the first graffiti painting on the wall in Bromsten (that I saw). Anyone who can read the text ? It should say "Circle" (the guy who did it). Try to find the letters. I was amazed when I saw it. It was by far the best I had seen up to then. Later on I found several more done by him and his friend Weird. At that time (around the late 80's) they were among the best in Stockholm. There was also a guy called Puppet, who was really top notch.
If you come to Stockholm from south by rail, you cannot miss this building. It's right on the entrance of Stockholm Central station. You won't see it exactly like this of course. In the daytime it's somewhat less good-looking. This is taken from Riksbron. The title connection? Oh, I almost forgot. Most of you watching, are not familiar with this. It's a publishing company.
This huge jaw can really bite. It's presently fiesting at the old mail-center at Klara, which gives way for a new hotel/conference-center/officebuilding. It keeps gnawing down the building bit by bit, and it's impressing to look at. I wonder if anything can withstand it ?

It's time to write chapter 3 of "den makalösa manicken", which would translate approximately to "the fantastic gadget". In two previous chapters in swedish I have told "the world" what I use to produce my pics. Maybe it's time to do it in a more common language this time ?
.
I started off with an Olympus C-1, followed by an Olympus C-2100UZ ( a truly great camera, even today I still love it).
.
Now, here's a sign of the times - literally speaking. The time until next departure is shown highlighted, and the direction of the lines
In an entirely different season, some time ago, the iceman had it much better. Wonder if he remembers it ? Maybe it occupies his mind all of the time, being all frozen now.....
I couldn't resist the temptation to take a pic right into the christmas ornaments in Gallerian. There's a lot of blue going on there these days. This is a close encounter of some kind. . 
Back at Woodland Cemetery again, it seems that these guys are trying to make it for a final escape through the roof. John Lundqvist made the Resurrection statue at the Holy cross (map).
(thanks to Per for correcting me)
This is a large sized map over this bridge. The model over the city, has been around once or twice already, actually three times, but this time it's to illustrate the daily photo theme for this month "Bridges". This one didn't quite make it to our final in pixels though. 
for a short trip to Sandhamn (some distance outside Stockholm), we're passing Skeppsholmen. There are quite a few boats permanently staying there. Some of them are here on this picture. Contrary to the picture from yesterday (Peter's ferry) this is obviously taken during summer.
This is what awaits you if you go by boat for about 25 minutes from central Stockholm. The feather islets (Fjäderholmarna) are the closest part of the archipelago. You can go there and have a good meal, or to try whisky (if you desire). Swedens largest (only?) whisky-destillery, Mackmyra, has chosen these islets to mature some of their whisky (not in the open though, it would never get old that way - just stolen). There's also some crafts museums on the islets. Mainly marine (old boats, engines and so forth).
