small organ - big organ

A somewhat smaller sibbling to the organ in Adolf Fredrik Church. This has a more secluded spot in the church and I gather it's not used at Sunday sermon.

maritime stockholm

S/S Birger Jarl was launched on 15 January 1953 and named after the 13th century Swedish statesman Birger jarl. After her maiden voyage to Helsinki she started regular service on the routes Stockholm - Helsinki and Stockholm - Turku. Today, M/S Birger Jarl is a cruise ship on service between Stockholm and Mariehamn on the Åland Islands (Finland).

The smaller vessel is Stockholm Ström 2 from 1894 on route from Slussen to Fjäderholmarna - "where the archipelago begins".

old cemetery

Danvik cemetery was inaugurated in 1834 and used up to the first years in the twentieth century. It is assumed that it was a cemetery for the poor and sick who died in Danvik hospital. Unfortunately, the church book remains missing so this can neither be confirmed nor denied.

the parliament

The Swedish Parliament, the Riksdag, as seen from Högvaktsterrassen at the Stockholm Palace. The building to the left - the west building - used to be Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank).

I ain't cleaning that!

Having a transparent roof on the bus shelter isn't such a brilliant idea if no one is going to keep it reasonably tidy.

encounters in Solna

Any subway network worth its salt will have a serious control tower. I may have read to much sci-fi but the entire complex looks rather alien, don't you agree?

verticality

Are you a rational, hierarchical top-down kind of person? Or maybe a bottom-up rebel, ready to reinvent without waiting for permission from above? Either way - here's a choice of perspectives, perpendicular to the plane of the horizon. See more?
