to readers, guest photographers and co-authors, thanks for five exciting years of pixels !
This rather oversized sofa was standing in Kungsträdgården during a week called "A Taste of Stockholm". The park was transformed into a giant food court, where restaurants from all over Stockholm had put up stands where they served small portions of different kinds of food. This has become a yearly event and depending on the weather it pulls out people by the thousands. The sofa is an advertisement for one of Stockholm's three free morning papers. .Soffan i Kungsträdgården var ditställd av City under "Smaka på Stockholm"-festivalen. Den behövdes, för det var trångt vissa kvällar.

in the centre of Stockholm.

Hötorgshusen are seldom out of sight. We call them spam scrapers. .

- This is my lamp-post. Don't you dare come too close or I'll come down and get you...

I guess that could be what s/he is shouting about but who knows?
The lamp-post is definitely found on Norrmalmstorg,
a few hundred meters from the absolute city. It's magnificent.

.Den här lyktstolpen på Norrmalmstorg är rätt snygg. Jag har ofta kikat på den och tänkt ta en bild. Nu blev det av, när måsen landade på toppen. Den satt där länge och glodde. Rätt vad det var skrek den till också så det blev till att vänta ut det.

Some people argue that you can't get a regular cup of coffee nowadays - it's only espresso and latte and such. They are of course wrong. There are still some pockets of resistance serving the regular filtered coffee. Sweden is number two in the world (after Finland) when it comes to drinking coffee (156 litres of java per person last year).

A calm evening by
Bollstanäsvägen. Possibly the last opportunity before summer to enjoy the stillness of night
without the company of mosquitos.

De sjunger i ditt öra
Att suga blod och friden störa

I suppose the muffins are fresh at this place. Nice surroundings too. I would have tried them but I was short on time. Fridhemsgatan is the address as you can clearly see. ..Muffinsbageri med servering på gräsmattan utanför.
Synd att jag inte hann att testa. Det får bli en annan gång.
