overground
The two metro/underground bridges in Kista, north of Stockholm city. Kista is mainly associated with telecommunication and computer industry. It also hosts the IT University, a joint venture between the Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. Because of its computer industries, Kista became referred to as Chipsta or Sweden's Silicon Valley in the 1980's.

Jolly good. Do they still have the plaques "Kista arbetsområde" and "Kista bostadsområde"?
Excellent composition here. Reminds me of the trains that run at Disney World in Orlando...
Like this kind of shots, of something with no end in sight...
Chipsta? Sounds more as a brand of chips... Could you translate what Svenske is saying?
Vogon Poet: some ten years ago there were two plaques at the station exit: left for "Kista working area", right for "Kista housing area". That made me think of the German Democratic Republic.
@Floyd: :o) I don't think I have seen those signs lately.
Kista has often been the subject of puns. For starters, the Swedish word for coffin is... kista.
