here's to 25% helium

With an average effect of approximately 1,370 watts per
square meter the Sun makes our cold surroundings bearable.
On a cold winter day in Ursvik we tend to appreciate this
near-perfect sphere of gas at a distance of one Astronomical Unit.

Här i Stora Ursvik ska det för övrigt bli
en massa bostäder och en ståtlig rondell

green house effect ?

... or is it in fact greenhouse effect?
This pic clearly shows where the effect comes from :-)
It's taken in the orangery at "Bergian garden"
where they presently show geraniums.

Växthuseffekt så det räcker till ! I orangeriet på Bergianska finns det
mycket rör och kopplingar för att få ut värme och fukt dit det behövs.
Just nu visar de pelargoner där.

temporary art

Some of the billboards at Zinkensdamm subway station
are used as temporary displays for artistic posters. See more?
This is due to the increasing cost for restoring art after vandalism.

courageous guards

It is with utmost care that one passes these two guards. I hope they don't scare away all the guests. The Hotel New World is in Årsta, just a short ride from the Stockholm fair.

.Ett par grymt vaksamma vaktlejon sitter utanför Hotel New World i Årsta. Det känns bara som en lite konstig utsmyckning. Undrar hur det ser ut inne i hotellet ?

stylish overhead

. Many commuters are passing by every day
without noticing this beautiful ceiling.
The Central Station offers eco-friendly traveling in style.
Another fashionable ceiling here.

Medborgare, se upp!

backwards

Actually, this pic is supposed to look like this. It was deliberately taken from the backside. I'm not sure whether the lights are christmas-lights or if they stay up all year around, but I'm sure someone will care to enlighten us all about that. Do I need to tell where this is taken ? I don't think so.

Nix, jag har inte spegelvänt bilden.
Det blev lite roligare från det här hållet tyckte jag bara. Vem berättar för oss andra
om det är julbelysning eller fast belysning till skylten ?

cops

A community policestation in Rinkeby. See more?
.
I receptionen vid Askebykroken talas svenska, engelska, turkiska,
portugisiska samt spanska. Förhoppningsvis inte samtidigt.
