The ice at Hellasgården looks quite thin, it's good to have a warning sign. (More by Micke on plenty)

the university of life (3)

...previously on pixels

The University of Life does not award its scholarships fairly. Some are given the best of circumstances, yet others will have to make do with bits and pieces. Yours truly has seldom missed an opportunity to grumble about the levels of taxation in Sweden. But the fact that higher education is available to anyone is something to appreciate. To be proud of.

Studying at the Stockholm University changes perspectives for tens of thousands of students every year and brings insight into stuff they didn't dream of, things not remotely connected to what they were really here to learn in Frescati. See more?

Storkyrkan

Saint Nicolaus Church, commonly known as Storkyrkan (The Great Church), is the oldest church in the Old town. On this photo we see the church from its right side, from Högvaktsterrassen (Royal Guard terrace). The church is situated right next to the Royal Palace and if you look very closely you can see one of the royal guards. If you turn your head to your right you can see the Parliament.

evening class

This is an upper secondary school. It seems they have evening classes as well. Or has everybody gone home and left the light on?

Night falls by Stureplan. Nowhere is the pulse of the inner city more vibrant. Here you'd find some of the most prestigious office locations. And here's where the local jet set mingle into the morning.

Roslagsbanan

Wikipedia: 'Roslagsbanan is a narrow-gauge suburban railway system with a combined route length of 65 kilometres and 39 stations. Roslagsbanan is one of the oldest electrified railway lines for public transportation in northern Europe. The first parts were inaugurated in 1876 as the Uppsala-Lenna railroad. In 1885 the main line from Stockholm to Rimbo opened.'

This photo was taken at the Stockholm Östra station (Stockholm East) marshalling yard.

sea horses?

If you have been following this blog, you can't have missed that the snow this year is almost canceled. It has snowed twice but it has rained heavy many times, causing very high water everywhere. This playground is NOT supposed to be under water. The pic is taken on Lida, an open air recreation area in the southern suburbs.

.Sjöhästar ? Ja, kanske. Normalt sett så borde nog strandlinjen ligga liiiiite längre ut än så här. Det behövs nästan sjöstövlar för att komma ut och rida på hästarna.
