to readers, guest photographers and co-authors, thanks for five exciting years of pixels !
Skeppsholmen ("the Ships' Islet") is a small island once considered militarily strategic at the Baltic Sea entrance to Stockholm. We tend to return here
again and
again but I've never been here before at midnight. What can I say? Our
summer night city is magic.

... previously on pixelsBalloons approaching the Lock (
Slussen). Down there’s all the traffic with all sorts of noises but high up above it’s tremendously quiet and peaceful.
See more? More to come ...
The things you have to endure to get a smoke! In Sweden it's no longer allowed to smoke inside a restaurant and outside it's cold ...sometimes. Nice to have a warm blanket to wrap around you.
A Taste of Stockholm - a huge food feast - took place June 4-8 in
Kungsträdgården. The 27 participating restaurants served more than 200 different dishes as well as a lot of wine and beer to some 300.000 visitors. Three to four free music concerts were also held each day.
Here are a bunch of balconies, each with a good view of Skebokvarnsvägen in
Högdalen ("the High Valley")
The 6th of June is Sweden's national day. It has not been celebrated so long, I mean in the sense of being a day off from work. This is the fifth year. In Stockholm 50,000 balloons were released. Many had already blown up due to the heat while waiting for their freedom. It sounded like someone was making popcorn, only the smell was strange. It looked great though and was well worth going into town for, even if it meant having to struggle to get somewhere.
Yes, it's the Sofia Church again! This time with Greta Garbo Square behind us.
Your daily dose of Stockholm, Sweden - click on pictures to enlarge!
