Saint Lucy's day (and it's cold)

These youngsters celebrating Saint Lucy were found yesterday singing in the street outside one of Stockholm's department stores. Since it was rather chilly and they spent some time singing, they looked cold. But I suppose the money they were given eventually made them thaw.

Christmas shopping

Christmas shopping with chandeliers and blue diode sky in Vällingby just outside Stockholm city. Indoor or semi-indoor shopping is perhaps a good thing when it's dark and cold outside.

intermission at tredje raden (2)

...previously on pixels

From yesterday's Nobel festivities to another glimpse of the opera house. The current repertoire includes classics like the Barber of Seville, Bohéme and Tosca. A modern version of Cinderella sounds interesting. This photo is from an intermission in Samson and Delilah.

nob and nobelity

On 10 December, the Nobel Prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace and Physiology or Medicine. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, commonly identified with the Nobel Prize, is awarded for outstanding contributions in Economics. The Peace prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway, but the rest here in Stockholm. The ceremony is followed by a banquet at Stockholm City Hall (Stockholms stadshus) for about 1,300 people, including 250 students.

Read all about the prizes and more here: nobelprize.org

parallel universes at brommaplan

Quantum mechanics seems real weird to a layman. According to one theory, the universe is constantly being split into separate worlds where everything which could occur actually does. Somewhere. Every possible branch of history is realised and the universe would be a many-branched tree of many worlds where we're confined to just one. So when this gentleman at Brommaplan subway station walks onto the escalator he could in fact be facing different fates in different worlds.

The boating season is definitely over when you find boats all over ... the woods.
