#1001 the Great Church

Slowly we are walking home after the celebrating #1000. The city, some parts go back to the thirteenth century, that we love and show every day is starting to tuck in. Storkyrkan - The Great Church - raises itself over the Old Town. The church, first mentioned in writing in 1279, is today the cathedral of Stockholm. Some things don't change. This is post #1001 and counting.

Yes, we have shown Storkyrkan before. See also Wikipedia.

#1000 stockholm by us

#1000 on pixels since 19 October 2005

A 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:

A 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.

#997 construction site

Building new housing on regained land in Hammarby Sjöstad. I do have a soft spot for the way a telephoto lens makes everything flat and compact.

Luma park

Just south of Stockholm City lay Luma Park, a protected factory building from the nineteen thirties. It contains offices, restaurants, cafe and conference facilities etceteras. This is the sign on the roof. Here is a view from the building, and here are more signs.

daily photo theme day: numbered parking

The multi-storey car park Parkaden may not be a beauty, but it has an original design: the walls are decorated with stylized numbers. If you look closely (click on photo) you can see that the house is six stories high.

keeping the birds out

It's a bit of creative thinking to use old Christmas decorations to scare the birds away from buds and berrys. As seen in Aunty O's grove (Tantolunden).

water week: tram on water

The Sickla Udde - Gullmarsplan tram passing over a bridge into Hammarby Sjöstad. Notice the blue walls on the buildings on the left hand side. They are only just - walls. Quite cool if you ask me.

water week: birds in the pool

Liljeholmsviken covered in ice. Some bird have found a pool of open water. It's close to here, where the fishing is good. We have had a week of sunshine, but the weatherman says that will change any day now. Not to ice and snow we hope.

Quite a typical morning on the way to the office. We haven't had much of a winter this year. January should be covered in white - or rather grey - city snow.

daily photo theme day: off season

Ice is frozen water and if the weather is cold enough the ice gets thick enough to walk or skate on. If you play ball on ice you should preferably use a small orange or red ball - approximately the size of a tennis ball - and sticks and skates and then you suddenly play bandy. Football is played in the summer on grass. Oh, how I long for the football season. Not for the sports, but for the warmth and open waters.
