vertical reflections

In front of the main entrance to St. Thomas Church in Vällingby stands a cross made of polished steel, five meters tall.

wooden house

A newly renovated office block in a backstreet. I'm not sure that the fake tree façade is a good idea. Looks like bad plywood.

the only way is up

Found this urban climber at Karlberg Station, honing his skills to climb on the closest thing to a mountain that the city itself provides - a huge wall, supporting Rörstrandsgatan above.

spot the flag

Beginning in the eighth century, the Scandinavian Vikings traveled through most of Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Northern Africa, Asia Minor, the Arctic and North America. Now the world is coming to us. In international Bredäng the influx is great and the parabolic antennas outnumber the Swedish flag by some 20-25 to one. Do you speak International?

bumpy road down

The way down to this underground parking is promised to be a bumpy one. And if you don't drive carefully, the little man who lives behind the small door will come for you. No, just kidding.

fiesta in Väsby

This might not be the most spectacular and extravagant summer party we've come across but these suburban residents seem to be having one heck of a good time. I so wonder what's inside that plastic bag on the table. Maybe ice-cream?

benchmarking in Alby

I had to have another encounter in Botkyrka with the red benches at Alby subway station, decorated by Olle Ängqvist. This is a remake and you know what they say - remakes are never quite as good as the original. So, what's your verdict?
