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.

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? .

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.
