The
Old Town has seen it all. Most conceivable modes of transportation have been on display. Here are a couple of subway trains doing their best to appear futuristic and exciting while crossing the bridge to Slussen ("the Sluice").

#1000 on pixels since 19 October 2005A thousand photos is a lot. Finding highlights in that pile isn't entirely easy and it's perfectly subjective of course. Still, we tried. These are some of our own favorite shots. You can find them all in our personal top-20 lists:
20 by bernt20 by per20 by peter20 by stefanA special thanks to our
guests Kenneth, Patrik, Michael, Christer and Pia who have enriched this blog. Most of all, our sincere gratitude goes out to you - our readers. Without you, this little idea in October 2005 wouldn't have taken off at all.
Discovering and sharing Stockholm through text and photos has been a unique experience and we like to think the best is yet to come. So stay tuned for more of
stockholm by pixels. Tomorrow, photo #1001.
Let's see now. We've done the
windows, brought the
champagne, the band is
practicing. And
Sergel Square - in the middle of the city, the symbolic center of Sweden and often focus of our attention here on
pixels - is properly decorated. Looks like we're ready.
A few buses
once again enjoy a nap after another hectic day of commuting. Besides, who would want to leave the city at a moment like this?
A persistent
tram arrives at
Stora Essingen on its way to Alvik
The small church in the center of Bredäng ("Broad Meadow") was inaugurated in 1969. It is used not only by the Swedish Lutheran Church but also by a Romanian Orthodox parish.
Korvmacken ("the Sausage Station") offers a wide variety of nutritious stuff for the urban stomach. It's strategically located by Alviks Torg ("the Alvik Square") with buses, trams and the subway..
Hela kostcirkeln och halva kungariket. Eller var det tvärtom?
When you're on a dinner date with a lady friend (be it here in Norrviken or elsewhere), there are a few ground rules to observe. You might want to look your best and give a favorable impression. Then again, you might not care a whole lot. Regardless, don't turn your behind at her while eating.
Granted, this might not be the comfiest bench in town but it's got a better view by the Karlberg Canal than most benches do. Here we actually managed to capture traces of snow. During most of this "winter" we had none. There were a couple of hungry guys circling around us. You can see them here.
water week is a theme shared by the following blogs:stockholm by pixels - Ystad Daily Photo
Solna like most municipalities has its fair share of cooperative retail facilities. Here at Coop Konsum (next to the subway station) the good citizens of Bergshamra can stop by to get their daily milk and bread.
Part of the Solna Municipality, Bergshamra (pop. 7300) is a suburb without much of a history. It was established after WWII (which obviously left Sweden almost unaffected by hostilities) and has been extended several times.
It's always the same story -
old v/s new. This used to be a familiar sight for commuters in the Stockholm subway. One of the older cars, nowadays only serving at rush hour when we need everything which is still capable of rolling through those tunnels.
Not the fanciest architecture, you might argue. Still, some paint and the generous afternoon sun does miracles. The neighborhood around Rotsunda Square offers a bit of tranquility if you make an effort to forget the highway a stone's throw away. .
Once in a while we venture into Suburbia. The church in Skärholmen was opened in 1976. This is a gilded wooden triumph crucifix by Harry W Svensson. See more?

To us, city photoblogging isn't primarily about the birds and the bees. Still, we do have flowers in Stockholm (someone asked;) and this is the time of year when they are most appreciated. So from all of us to all of you, a very merry spring. Enjoy this humble spring crocus from Norrviken..

inside Gustaf Vasa Church as well. That was a piece of good advice. Here's the altar with magnificent sculptures, all in baroque style and originally created for the cathedral in Uppsala by carver Burchard Precht.
