A metro train arriving station Stadshagen. The "corrugated metal thingie" is an artwork depicting the two local rivalling ice hockey teams Djurgården and AIK. If you look from one side you see Djurgården score a goal, and from the other side AIK surely scores behind the Djurgården keeper. The artist is Lasse Lindqvist.

The Carl Milles sculpture Solsångaren - the sun singer. It was erected in 1926 in memory of Esaias Tegnér's poem Sång till solen (Song to the sun). Tegnér, a writer, professor of Greek language, and bishop was during the 19th century regarded as the father of modern poetry in Sweden.

Ice on Årstaviken ("Årsta Bay") and people get an urge to go out walking on water. The old mill in the background - Skanskvarn at Gullmarsplan - is now a restaurant. The mill was closed in 1882 and is registered at paranormal.se as being haunted by the friendly ghost Linda.

It's only up from here or Heaven is next stop.
Inside St Jacob church beds are lined up as part of the performance installation Nattpass (Night watch). It is ok for anyone to spend the night in a bed in the church - they even give you a toothbrush and a piece of soap. You get to sleep till seven o'clock in the morning.

When you build a house you shouldn’t start at the top like this little yellow - or green or greenish yellow - man is doing. You should do it the other way around.
A lady in blue is being served lunch at the Gallerian mall. The people around her are all clad in dark and sullen colours - the light is on her.
This young accordionist in Kungsträdgården had a different business idea than I’m used to. He first asked for money and only then played his instrument. A guy apparently paid too little and he only played a few notes. But at the girls' table he stayed a long time.

On the first day of summer my soul mate and I climbed the "Tanto Mountain" and enjoyed a good day. Tanto is a large park on Södermalm (southern Stockholm city). In the park you find many allotments where people grow vegetables or just relax. Tanto is also, I have learned, a Japanese knife favored by the woman samurai. There is no connection between the two as the Tanto Park was named after one Hans Tanto who had an estate here in 1660.
