tiles of the unexpected
Artist Sivert Lindblom has decorated Västra skogen subway station. I wonder how many glazed tiles he used for shapes like these. See more?

Ett underbart lapparbete, men inte i tyg! Spännade färger ihop, vilken tunnelbanekonst vi har!
Like the shine and the gleam! Nice perspective, too!
Interesting shot! Very Stockholm :-)
These stations sure are colorful.
I really like this sculpture. It's so colorful! It must make the morning commute a little brighter.
I love the title of the post!
This is really beautiful, I like this one more than the nightmarish red and green one!
It must be rewarding for an artist to know that you've made a lasting impression by designing a station like this one.
Lena Johansson: Det är verkligen väl komponerat, enkelt och slagkraftigt mönster.
Buenos Aires Photoblog: I tried another one with a bit of platform as well but it wasn't much to look at.
Tinsie: Folks, remember where you read it first! "Very Stockholm" ;)
B Squared: We should bring you a grey one for a change, there are quite a few of those as well. Mostly older stations above ground.
Halcyon: Good point. To me, the morning commute is really what all these works of art are about.
cieldequimper: Glad you noticed! :)
Vogon Poet: These are a couple of adjacent stations and yet quite different.
Thanks all for sharing a few tiles with us!
Oh yes, I like that; the colors and shapes. Magnificent!
But it is "very Stockholm" ;-)
Stockholm underground stations are very distinctive.
This is so eye-catching! Great composition and I agree with Ciel about the title.
Per, thank you for your congratulations and nice words!
Hopefully a material easy to defend against spray-painting vandals.
Jacob: I spent a couple of hours at this station and this was in fact the very first shot.
Tinsie: I like that expression! There are quite a few grey and dull stations as well which we tend to ignore (I wonder why) but you're right - there's a lot sparkling under ground in terms of these newer stations.
JM: We've been doing this since 2005 and it took us a while to find a good format so it's really impressive to see what you have achieved in just one year.
Thanks everyone. Don't forget that the real thing is coming up - another subway day on the 15th.
