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.
It's not only the commuters that have to wait for the train; the driver has to wait for the passengers to embark the train before he can close the doors. "Look out for the doors, the doors will be closed" or as they usually say in Swedish "se upp for dårarna". This is the blue line between Kungsträdgården and Hjulsta. Picture from
Rådhuset subway station.
subway day is a mid-month theme shared by the following blogs:
In need of a sign from above? Kista Galleria offers plentiful. It is a commercial temple for any shopaholic. The major attraction is however its food court. We’d go for lunch and skip the shopping.
This giant lock you can find on Täby Church. Built during the 13th century it is one of the most well conserved churches from the Middle Ages. Through the door you enter the porch. The porch was added to the church in the middle of the 15th century.

The interior of Tibble Church i Täby. All four walls are made of glass which creates a spectacular light as the sun moves during the day.
This is a modern church, it was inaugurated in 1978.
It's located on the top floor of larger building in the center of Täby.

Vi har flera kyrkor i Täby, Tibble kyrka stod klar 1978. Den ligger högst upp i ett fyravåningshus. Kyrkorummet är rektangulärt och domineras av de enorma glasmosaikväggarna.
After a warm and relaxing sauna you just jump into the sea. If there isn't ice 'cause then you have to make a hole first. This sauna can be found in Åkersberga.

Vackert belägen bastu i Stockholms skärgård. Vattnet var uppfriskande...
A Djurgården Ferry arriving at Skeppsholmen. This ferry serves Stockholm’s inner harbor and is included in the city’s public transportation network. .
Djurgårdsfärjorna, idag 6 stycken, har anor från 1700-talet. Då var det roddarmadamer som såg till att man kunde ta sig mellan olika stadsdelar på vattnet. I mitten av 1800 -talet började man använda sig av olika typer av ångbåtar.
This bell tower was built in 1763. It is situated on a hill just north of Täby Church. The bells were cast 1700 and 1710 in Täby. They sound in major key. .
Klockstapeln uppfördes 1763 på höjden norr om kyrkan. Klockorna klingar i dur.
A thousand years ago, during the Iron Age, blogging wasn't as easy as today. First you needed a hammer, a chisel and a giant stone or a rock. Then a couple of months later when you finished writing, you had to distribute it... This stone is located at Jarlabankes bridge in Täby. The area is famous for its population of rune stones. .
"Jarlabanke lät resa dessa stenar efter sig, medan han ännu levde, och han gjorde denna bro för sin själ, och ensam ägde han hela Täby.
Gud hjälpe hans själ."
Dating from the 13th Century, Täby Church in Täby Kyrkby is best known for its beautiful 15th Century ceiling paintings by the Nordic countries’ foremost monumental painter at that time, Albert Målare (Albertus Pictor). More about them later...

Täby kyrka byggdes på 1200-talet och är berömd för de vackra valvmålningarna. Återkommer till dem.
A dream cottage not far from the city, near
Täby Golf Club, in a stunning village location and with beautiful views through all walls, with the added benefit of being able to provide wild life just around the corner. It would make a superb large family home for a small family. At present being abandoned after a party last night...

Allt är kanske inte vad det ser ut att vara, speciellt inte dagen efter. Nåja, om vi nu hade haft ett party så hade det säkert varit ett j-a röj!
In Sweden we take 24 hour cruises to enjoy ourselves with booze, beer and maybe some dancing. This floating discotheque goes to tax-free heaven Åland and back. Next day we leave the ship with headache, tax-free liqour and arms like an orangutan.

Roller Coasters, Free Fall and a house full of ghosts. Gröna Lund, the oldest amusement park in Sweden doesn't look very cheerful on a cloudy afternoon in March. It looks just old... .
Det ger möjligen lite perspektiv på tillvaron...
I hope the King has an office that is a bit more modern than the facing of the Royal Palace. On the other hand I'm glad that the facing of the palace isn't modern. The palace is built in baroque style by Nicodemus Tessin and is formed like a Roman palace. .
Det Kungliga Slottet, byggt i barockstil av Nicodemus Tessin d. y . Då slottet har 600 rum är man glad att man inte ansvarar för städningen...
Looks a little robotic though so maybe not...

This is a house for the young ones in Rinkeby. Once again I don't know if it's built to keep them on the inside or preventing them from coming in. If I look at the bright side of life... at least they have a house of their own! On the inside you find a café, gym, dance halls, halls for girls only and conference rooms. .
Ungdomens hus i Rinkeby är inte så trist som det ser ut. Här finns bland annat kafé, gym, danslokaler, tjejlokaler, rum för föreläsningar mm. 1500 personer får plats samtidigt.
Before you got to the big prison you get in the right mood in this place. Don't make the kids feel safe, cause it won't get any better...
Förskolan Blixten i Rinkeby ser inte allt för trevlig ut. Undrar hur många poäng de får för barnens lekmiljön? Och vad tänker de lokala politikerna på?
When the kids finally comes to school we make sure they stay there...others on prison, school
Mitt galleri finns det inga galler i... sjöng en viss Robert.
Han kan inte ha gått i denna skola.

Den här krabaten vaktar inte stadshuset. Inte har han(?) något nät heller. Lyckligt ovetande om snöovädret som är på väg förbereder han sig för Halloween.
Det tog ett tag men till slut hittade jag fler spår efter Bernts aliens... Eller så är det bara en närbild på hösten som kommit till stan på landet.
