Some positively huge construction things being towed to Bob the Builder and friends. I guess this will be used in the building of a new railway tunnel under water in Riddarfjärden (right about here) on the other side of the island Södermalm.
OK. It isn't so. Nothing is being demolished. Just some sort of repair work in front of good old Circus on Djurgården.

Evening light in the King's Garden (Kungsträdgården). A few lamps down the path we see Molin's Fountain.
Rush hour in Kista seems rather relaxed. Or maybe the rush simply chose to move indoors following the recent snow storm. The tall structure in the background is Kista Church.

According to mythology, the Irish leprechaun's secret hiding place for his pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. I think you could very well spend that pot of gold in the smart department store NK - Nordiska Kompaniet - at the end of this rainbow.
- Look at me, here I stand in Kungsträdgården ("the King's Garden") pointing out that I'm a Swede. Charles XII of Sweden is my name, should you have forgotten.
Thousands upon thousands visited the Holy Cross Chapel at the Woodland Cemetery on that bitterly cold All Saints' Day. Here's a close-up of the Resurrection Statue.

Intriguing patterns on a small frozen pool of water in Sollentuna. What happened here before dawn?
We've seen the hotel before. This time it's night time. And the view is Grand. Both the real one and the mirrored one.
Of course, to become a good metro train driver you must have training. Here is a learner's train - or shall we call it a train train - passing by station Hornstull. The sign says Learner's train. No boarding.

Saint Jacob's Church on a dark evening. It's a lot warmer inside.
A scene that could have been taken from the must-see film "Wag the dog" (IMDB) and the homage to the made-up war hero "Shoe". This is from Hornsgatan in Stockholm though.
The Freedom Not Fear protest against net surveillance * on October 11 was a very small and wet affair
- Hey, who froze the water? I'm not done yet. Let me out!Not a lot of water to swim around in at this time of year. I wouldn't want to be a swan.

Mr and Mrs Duck have been quite busy - thank you! - since their previous water week appearance. Here they are, patrolling Rotsunda Creek. In the background, some allotment garden cottages.
Just a small drop of water from within
Most people have already picked up their boats for the season but there are some pockets of resistance still. It looks quite cosy as a matter of fact.
The first bridge across Nockeby Strait was opened in 1787. Composer Carl Michael Bellman was among those attending the festivities. The current version is a movable bridge from 1973. It's unclear whether it has inspired any music but the good folks of Ekerö Municipality can testify to its importance in everyday life.
Skärholmen south of Stockholm market themselves as "Skhlm - The capital of shopping" and thus travestying on Stockholm's (Sthlm for short) "The capital of Scandinavia".
Books. So many things can be learned from them. In this particular case it's geography that catches this boy's attention. He seems to be totally absorbed by it. Or maybe he just needs a pair of new glasses?
