This impressive building - Tomtebodaskolan - used to house a school for visually impaired children. Opened in 1888 it had room for 100 pupils, 50 boys and 50 girls. The students received reading training and vocational education. The school was eventually closed in 1986. Since 2005 it's the home of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), an EU agency aimed at strengthening Europe's defences against infectious diseases.

Högalid Church seen behind Tantolundens ("Aunty O's") allotment gardens.
In the 1870's a new prominent street was created, aimed to be a grand entrance to the city for those having arrived by train at the new
Stockholm Central railway station. Today Vasagatan ("Vasa Street") connects the Old town with the square Norra Bantorget and - as you can tell - it's not terribly busy on a Sunday morning. Seen here is Royal Viking Hotel, at the address
Vasagatan 1.

Vira bruk, 20 kilometers north-east of
Åkersberga in Österåker Municipality. Established in the 17th century, Vira used to be an important ironworks site and had a monopoly for delivering rapiers to the Swedish army.

We're 22 kilometers north of the city and there's something intriguing about the shape of
Vallentuna Church. Remember
the runestone?
