Sofia kyrka

Vita Bergen (the White Mountains) is one of Stockholm’s green lungs. At the peak of Vita Bergen is one of our major churches. Inaugurated in the early twentieth century and with a great view of Södermalm, Sofia Kyrka (Church of Sofia) was named after a Swedish queen. See more?

from above

Since a while back it's possible to climb up the roof of the old parliament building at Riddarholmen and spend an hour or so watching over the roofs of Stockholm, while a guide is telling you a little about the stuff that is a little higher than this roof (among other things). The building is said to be 43 m high. This lonely (?) person might be about 42 m below us; I didn't care to count that exactly. .
.Inget för höjdrädda men en trevlig timme för den som vågar sig upp på taket till gamla Riksdagshuset. För en rimlig peng kan man få sig en guidad tur. Om vädret är bra är det naturligtvis roligast.

street for a king

Kungsgatan (“the King’s Street”) is a lively shopping street and also classic historical ground. A rain of confetti from these windows is probably the image most Swedes still associate with the end of WWII. A couple of previous visits here and here.

juggling (1)

Juggling - the art of throwing and catching several objects simultaneously. These two guys practised their skills in the Tanto park. I can see six clubs and one ball.

37 days remembered

Remember the little girl who didn’t make it through her sixth week? She’s got company now. I’m not sure about those antennae
but with wings it’s got to be an angel.
Someone hasn’t forgotten. Someone never will.

climber

When I was walking on the Västerbron bridge i suddenly heard huffing and puffing below. I looked over the edge and found a climber on a training session. There was a whole little gang on the ground. What next?

Summer Night City (9)

The World Trade Center by Klarabergsviadukten claims to be the world’s meeting place. Sort of a contradiction since there are about 300 similar centres around the world. It’s the next-door neighbour of our Central Station in the very heart of the city. Or, as they put it, only 20 minutes from the airport. It’s all a matter of perspective,
I suppose. Been here before.
