Every day I walk past this house at the corner of Sveavägen and Kungsgatan. It is a truly ordinary house but if you study it closer there are some special tiles all over the facade.
Each tile depict scenes from ordinary daily life; a woman with a stroller, a man painting, a door man, a couple snogging, a pretty woman with a handful of balloons and so on. And they all blend in perfectly and are hardly noticeable, but now that you know of these small sculpture like pictures it is what makes this truly ordinary building truly special.

I hope this structure holds. It looks more like a Swiss cheese to me. This is the exterior of the mall in Farsta.

The Essingeleden seen from below. This bridge links Lilla Essingen with Stora Essingen (smaller and greater Essinge islands). With some 170,000 cars per day (2007) you have to have a sturdy construction.
Essingeleden is a part of the European routes E20 (Shannon, Ireland to St Petersburg, Russia) and E4 (Torneå, Finland to Helsingborg, Sweden).

Triangular shaped and glassed-in balconies on the island Lilla Essingen. This used to be an industrial area with Electrolux as the dominating industry.

The Cementa cement depot as seen from Långholmsgatan. I like the way the telephoto lens (~250 mm) flattens the image. Here's the same depot from another angle.

The Vintage Fair has moved in at Hornstulls strand for a weekend of vintage clothes, shoes and accessories. A very popular occasion, judging from the very long queue.
