yellow blues for an empty station


A symbolic view of Johannelund, not a particularly crowded station situated 12 kilometers (and 18 stations) west-north-west of the city. In fact, of all our subway stations Johannelund has the fewest commuters. Roughly 1000 individuals board a train here on a weekday as compared to some 140000 for T-Centralen ("Subway Central").

service oriented architecture


Within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), providers offer certain services for the benefit of consumers as regulated in the context of a service contract. The contract stipulates, among other things, certain non-functional requirements such as performance and availability.

A dad, on the other hand, is supposed to provide all sorts of services without a specification. And he should always be available.

kungsträdgården ice rink

About.com: "This outdoor ice rink [at Kungsträdgården] is a popular local point all winter long, from mid-November until March - as long as it's cold enough for the ice. This place has a great atmosphere with live music and stands with hot drinks and various other (hot and cold) treats."

Must hurry and make the perfect ice for another day of skating.

the snow has to go somewhere

It has been a long snowy winter and there is no sign of an end. Here is some of the snow put in a heap while waiting for spring. The white thing in the top left corner is not a heap of snow, it is the Stockholm Globe arenas.

swimming prohibited


This used to be a bird bath. Closed for the season, I'd say. Winter has really hit us this year. Lots of snow, as depicted on several occasions already. It's not easy for our winged friends. Not only is the bath closed, it's cold as well.

frosty morning

Another frosty morning 60 degrees North. The research ship Altair along with a smaller (unfortunately) nameless vessel are safely anchored at Slussen.

a tree of hope


In a place where it's really needed. The stained glass window is found at Lilla dalen, a funeral chapel in Tumba. This work of art was created by Karin Bernerstedt and is called "Time and Eternity". In the dark and lit from behind it's beautiful.
