an ordinary day
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.

thin ice

The ice at Hellasgården looks quite thin, it's good to have a warning sign. (More by Micke on plenty)

These red houses are found on Kvastmakarbacken ("Broommaker's Hill"). They look very nice in the bleak January sunshine.

A view of a wintry Skeppsholmen as seen from Strandvägen. Skeppsholmen used to be a strategic naval base at the entrance to Stockholm. Nowadays it's filled with peaceful museums. The yearly Stockholm Jazz Festival is also held here.

a day in the sun
Today, at long last, the sun decided to grant us a bit of attention again. December and January are pretty dark months any year but this time they have been particularly gloomy. So far. This is the garden by the Vasa Museum. Looks like it'll need quite a lot of sunshine before anything will grow there again..
Påminner om mina krukväxter, faktiskt

M/S Stockholm
photo: Kenneth Blake.
Strömma Kanalbolaget ship M/S Stockholm tied up at Strandvägen on a snowy November evening. The ship was built in 1931 by Oskarshamns Varv Ab and was originally sailing under the name S/S Öland. M/S Stockholm has been in service in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The ship's full history can be found here (only in Swedish).

Riddarholmen in February
photo: Michael Zucker.
.The sun sets gracefully by Riddarholmen. Our Friday Guest takes us half a year back. Or is it half a year into the future? The huge differences between four distinct seasons make our climate ever fascinating. Riddarholmen is a small islet, rich in history,
in the centre of Stockholm.

where's Bryan?
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.

hey, where's the party...
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... .
Ett vinterstängt Gröna Lund gör väl ingen glad?
Det ger möjligen lite perspektiv på tillvaron...

here's to 25% helium
With an average effect of approximately 1,370 watts per square meter the Sun makes our cold surroundings bearable.
On a cold winter day in Ursvik we tend to appreciate this
near-perfect sphere of gas at a distance of one Astronomical Unit.

Här i Stora Ursvik ska det för övrigt bli

snowman's blues brother
He certainly looks as if he's on a "mission from God". Looks a little robotic though so maybe not...
This guy is located north of Nybroviken
looking at the traffic passing by on Strandvägen.

hands on
The snow has just fallen and, instead of making an angel, why not try to lend a hand to winter ? This opportunity shot was taken outside a school (of course) in Rissne. Who knows - they might even belong into this, which was found not far away.....
Det händer i Rissne, skulle man kunna säga för att få till det riktigt. Bilden tagen utanför Sundbybergs folkhögskola. Snön kom på ett litet återbesök och någon placerade ett par händer med lagom eftertryck på ett cykelställ (tror jag det är).

return of the light
5 pm at Wesströms väg in Rotebro. Each day gives five more minutes of light.

Fåglarna har hajat det här. Det är något visst med ljus.

Frosty by Johannes
Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

Here's a tiny Frosty outside St John's Church

kung Bore (light)
Upplands Väsby after the snowstorm which brought Stockholm to a standstill .
Några timmar efter veckans väghållningshaveri
tittade solen fram och vi kunde utan risk överblicka snömassorna:
enstaka centimeter vid just den här parkeringsplatsen.
