contrast

This beautiful sculpture called "Havsvind" by Kent Ullberg ("Seabreeze" for you who don't understand Swedish so well) really stands out from the evening sky. There is not a hint of blue left, even though it's only around half past seven. I need to return and do this once more against a blue summer sky. Meanwhile, look closer.

change here from train to ferry

The old station house and an old phone booth in Nynäshamn some 60 kilometers south of Stockholm. Nynäshamn is at the end of one of the commuter train lines and from here you can continue by ferry to the island Gotland. One of many tourists who have been to Nynäshamn is our old friend Ackworth born.

ode to jakobsberg

I suppose that's what this choir is about, no? Facing the mall in Jakobsberg, hidden in a bush (I almost missed them, along with the blackbird I nearly stepped on) but still singing. And I furthermore guess it's not heavy metal, even if one might get that impression by the looks of them :-)

Strandvägen towards Nybroplan at twenty to nine in the morning. The kiosk on the left is the Strömma ticket office where you can buy tickets for excursions to the archipelago - in the summer. Here's the same view without snow.

daily photo theme day: A Highlander in Stockholm

text & photo: Pia K

Stockholm isn't only about inner city moments and sceneries, oh no, we musn't forget suburbia which can be quite a happening place where some of the most amazing views and encounters can be had. Thus one of my most treasured moments from 2008 was the wonderful and very hairy encounter of the Highlander kind in the suburb of Märsta.

Always being more than fond of these fascinating, adorable ancient looking animals and then actually being able to meet, greet and moo-chat, making new friends with Ruffle, Tousle, Goldilocks and companions in the outskirts of one's own city can only be described as
one of last year's best and a simply magical treat.

With hopes of many such magical moments and treasured treats for 2009 ~

Happy New Year!

The January theme is "Best of the year 2008". We didn't want to do a rerun of our own material. So, instead, we asked our friend Pia to interpret this theme for us. 151 members of City Daily Photo have promised to join on this day.
