trimming the bike

This gentleman on Rosenlundsgatan was not trimming his motorcycle with a handsaw to make it go faster. He had had a mishap with the front mudguard and was just cutting the broken edge. But I just had to stop and ask.

fawlty towers ?

Whatever gives you that idea? These towers are by no means faulty. They are the twin towers of Kungsgatan - often seen just like this, but mostly photographed one at a time, I suspect.

Nordic Light Open (2)

Remember that tennis tournament? Attendance for this year’s Nordic Light Open could have been better. In fairness, this was shot during a prolonged interval between matches on the centre court when everyone was out finding some food

or just stretching their legs. See more?

Nordic Light Open

Stadion has been an Olympic venue twice. It was inaugurated for the summer games of 1912 and in 1956 Stockholm filled in hosting the horse competitions instead of Melbourne. Nowadays it’s mostly used for first league football games and

an occasional athletics event.

This week marks the sixth annual Nordic Light Open tennis tournament. It is in fact the only WTA championship in the region. See more?

Not far away is a metro station and a tower-to-be.

Högklassigt spel och perfekt väder. Dock inget läktarvåld och inga

daily photo theme day: bloody breakfast

Some people like this for breakfast, some don't and some say anytime of the day is OK.

The typical Bloody Mary consists of vodka, tomato juice, salt and pepper, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and squeezed lemon. And oh, don’t forget the celery stick. The drink on the photo was enjoyed at a brunch at a Stockholm hotel, which I think is the best place and occasion to enjoy a Bloody Mary.

There are a number of variations to the drink. Most common would be Virgin Mary (without alcohol) and Bloody Maria (tequila). The name Bloody Mary is said to associate to Queen Mary I of England – known as Bloody Mary after she had many hundreds of

religious dissenters executed.

How did we come to meet Mary this time?

It all started the day before ...
