the town between the bridges

The Gamla stan/Old town on a hazy evening. We are on our way from Gröna Lund amusement park by boat. Also called The town between the bridges, the Old town dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town.

the colour of solna (2)

Solna is a colourful place. The subway station is a symphony in red and green. Even a humble fire hydrant becomes a voice in the fugue. See more?

the bookkeepers

Books have been around for ages. We seem to be reading more than ever and - in spite of an abundance of electronic media - we cling to books. We borrow books for a while. We buy books to keep them or give them away. Here's Pocket Shop at Central Station.

the feathered squad (2)

Meet Guthrie Gull Senior. He's the fastest among the feathered squad. Unlike Junior, he's not much for observing the dishes. Before you can say "medium fries" he'll simply grab a bite and take off.

where did I park my car?

Great drama when they fished out an old Saab car from the water by the Liljeholmen Bridge. Judging from the look it had been down there for some considerable time.

red bus for blue train

Due to the construction of a new commuter train line - Citybanan - the blue subway line is closed between Kungsträdgården and Rådhuset so the trains are replaced by buses. In rush hour traffic you notice how outstanding rail bound transportation is when it comes to transporting many people.
