At some places Stockholm metro embodies Swedish design

Several Swedish underground stations are very Nordic in their design. Below is one of the most typical new stations - Rådhuset underground station.

A couple of classical Stockholm views

When having some time over in Stockholm I will try to capture as much of the nice parts of the city as I can. Started out with a couple of shots of famous places (quite random pictures - I do admit). First off is Gamla Stan seen from Nybrokajen...


Then the eastern facade of the Royal Palace, the official residence of the current King (his family actually lives at Drottningholm). The palace has 1,430 rooms of which 660 have windows. 


Sergel's Torg is the most central public square in Stockholm and is named after the 18th-century sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel, whose workshop was once located north of the square. The square has an iconic triangular pattern. 


Finally City Hall seen from Hantverkargatan. The building is one of the the most famous landmarks in Stockholm.

Reflections around the house

Stockholm is built on water, which is something I love with the city. Sweden's largest lake, Mälaren, meets the Baltic sea at Slussen and our flat is just by the lake. On quiet nights the reflections in the lake are very nice and one of those nights I decided to take a walk.
