to readers, guest photographers and co-authors, thanks for five exciting years of pixels !
For the year ending.For those no longer among us.For a new year with hopes and fears.
This is what it looked like in the Högalid Church when they lit 300 candles on All Saints' Day (see more?).
Högalidskyrkan från 1923 har ett magnifikt läge och dubbla torn
The old mail center at Klara (built in the early 80's) is presently being torn down (it started on Dec 11th). In 2010 the new building will be ready, almost 75000 squaremeters big (hotel 20500, conference 20000 and office-space 34000). Right now it looks as if war has come to Stockholm, but I guess it always will when old buildings have to go. The machines used to tear it down are awesome. They chew the concrete like it was a sandwich. Have a look at
plenty.
Det är inte utan att man kommer att tänka på Gamla 34:an eller Esplanadsystemet när man ser att gamla postterminalen vid Klara är på väg att bli ett minne blott. Det är bara drygt ett halvår sedan jag själv var på fest på "Matlusten", längst upp i högerkanten på bilden. Idag skulle jag nog sätta på mig varmare kläder.....

Another look at the Kinnevik Christmas tree kit at Skeppsbron. More about the tree here and here..
The ticket office of our Concert Hall is properly decorated for the season. Tickets, recordings, all sorts of musical items are on sale..
This is part of the mill Tre Kronor (Three Crowns). It was built during April 1897 - August 1898 and was in different shapes used until 1992 when it finally came to rest, due to bad profitability. You will pass it on your way out of Stockholm by boat.

Every Christmas the estate agent Erik Olsson gives away hundreds and hundreds of Christmas trees for free. This year the annual chaos took place on the 12th on a parking lot outside their main office. The green/white in the middle and on the lorry are trees and the people in red are staff..
Most of us would have preferred something like this but no amount of playing Bing Crosby helped. Here's a view from Odenplan this afternoon. A mild, hazy Christmas Day in Stockholm..
...men tänk så många lårbensbrott vi undviker
