to readers, guest photographers and co-authors, thanks for five exciting years of pixels !
Yes, they are building a house on what used to be a park and people were a bit upset. On the other hand, the park was small and dark and there's a huge open park just next door.

Ever had one of those days when life feels impenetrable, grey and
heavy?

Sometimes, the subway becomes an
above-way. From a station platform we can look down on life as we know it in
Hässelby gård and westwards along the tracks to and from the end station
Hässelby strand. In the foreground is a sculpture "Flora II" by
Per-Erik Willö.

Kids
are amused, car drivers
get frustrated and for the rest of us the wintry landscape is an ongoing exercise in
risk control. When possible, find yourself an arm to cling to while walking down a slippery surface.

I'm not sure about the reason behind the different colours on the steps, but it made a good picture and that's enough for me :-)

It's been winter since mid-December and the kids are really making the most of it.

This is a view from
Skansen. In front - the gates, with some trees with lots of lights. Then some dark parts (mostly water) and after that you see the many lights of two ferries to
Åland. In the background you see the lights from the Globe and the church tower of Sofia.

Stockholm is a city on water (or on ice) so we have quite a few bridges. Here are the two railway bridges over Årstaviken. In the foreground the new western bridge completed 2005 and, behind it, the old eastern bridge from 1929.

I guess this is an example of modern architecture and I like it. Found in Hammarby sjöstad.

Construction work going on in Riddarfjärden. Here they are building a part of the commuter train tunnel - the City Line - under water. Three tunnel parts measuring 100 meters in length and 800 tonnes in weight has been built in the Estonian capital Tallinn and are being towed to central Stockholm. Ice skaters had the surprise of their life when they were confronted with one of them on Lake Mälaren (a scene shown on this photo from the City Line project site).

We all need to think twice now and then. Here a young gentleman has left the restaurant playground to confer with his

Whoever believes that modern art has got to be unattractive and incomprehensible should pay a visit to St. Eskil's Church from 1994 by
Handen centrum. Artist
Bosse Falk created this monumental glass painting.

Got some old bread in the kitchen? Now is the time to share it. Crumbs of any kind are immensely popular these days among

A symbolic view of
Johannelund, not a particularly crowded station situated 12 kilometers (and 18 stations) west-north-west of the city. In fact, of all our subway stations Johannelund has the fewest commuters. Roughly 1000 individuals board a train here on a weekday as compared to some 140000 for T-Centralen ("Subway Central").

Within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
providers offer certain
services for the benefit of
consumers as regulated in the context of a
service contract. The contract stipulates, among other things, certain non-functional requirements such as
performance and
availability.
A dad, on the other hand, is supposed to provide all sorts of services without a specification. And he should
always be available.

About.com: "This outdoor ice rink [at Kungsträdgården] is a popular local point all winter long, from mid-November until March - as long as it's cold enough for the ice. This place has a great atmosphere with live music and stands with hot drinks and various other (hot and cold) treats."
Must hurry and make the perfect ice for another day of skating.

It has been a long snowy winter and there is no sign of an end. Here is some of the snow put in a heap while waiting for spring. The white thing in the top left corner is not a heap of snow, it is the Stockholm Globe arenas.

This used to be a
bird bath. Closed for the season, I'd say. Winter has really hit us this year. Lots of snow, as depicted on several occasions already. It's not easy for our
winged friends. Not only is the bath closed, it's cold as well.

Another frosty morning 60 degrees North. The research ship Altair along with a smaller (unfortunately) nameless vessel are safely anchored at Slussen.

In a place where it's really needed. The stained glass window is found at Lilla dalen, a funeral chapel in
Tumba. This work of art was created by
Karin Bernerstedt and is called "Time and Eternity". In the dark and lit from behind it's beautiful.

Evening traffic at Hornstull, the westernmost part of the island Södermalm. The street Långholmsgatan - with the green light - ties the two bridges Liljeholmsbron and Västerbron together.

It's up-hill on Västerbron, 12 degrees Celsius below zero, and Monday morning in the first real working week after a loooong festive season. But eventually it will be down-hill, weekend and summer. You just have to endure ...
