nocturne for Vallentuna Church

We first visited Vallentuna Church on a snowy, sunny winter Sunday. Remember? Three months later, here's a summer night rendezvous. First established in the 1190's, struck by lightning in 1856, organ replaced in 1959... if only these walls could talk!

bike attack

I have no idea. Suddenly there were bicycles everywhere. They came up at one side of a road, hurried over to the other side in total contempt for death and then rode on. It was over in a minute and I never saw them again.

elevate me

Or, should I say educate me? That Stockholm has a famous elevator called Katarinahissen might be common knowledge (at least locally) but what about Mariahissen? It's not quite that easy to find.

city on water (3)

Kastellholmen ('castellum islet'). The flag is up, so we are still an independent nation. Well, three cheers for that!

garage

Here's an architect who suddenly realises that "this is one ugly garage I'm drawing" and in an attempt to make good he puts up a decoration. And I like this fifties (?) car in mosaic at the entrance to the modern (grey) parking house.

daily photo theme day: we've got the chairs

"So, we've got the chairs ... Great! That's a good start. Now let's find some people who can sit on the chairs. And perhaps an act or something for them to enjoy. Do you think we should serve snacks?"

Chairs on an empty car park that doubles as boat park in the winter.

not half bad in Sollentuna

Sollentuna simhall is a recently renovated swimming complex as well as a challenging language exercise. Contrary to what an English speaking person might believe, the text on the façade means "bath sports exercise". See more?
