Sunset in the woods

At Nockeby station, the west end terminal of the Nockebybanan tramway, there's barely any construction surrounding it. This sunset was taken a few meters "out" of the station, literally, the woods.

Crystal - vertical accent in glass and steel, by Edvin Öhrström.

The sculpture Crystal — vertical accent in glass and steel by Edvin Öhrström is the dominant feature of Sergelstorg, the heart of the City. Chances are that you will pass a lot of times by this square while sightseeing around downtown since it's the main commuting hub of the Greater Stockholm Area. During different months (that I currently do not remember, but I'm tempted to say June/July) the square is filled with food trucks/stands where you can buy food from different countries. For example, you can have Australia with kangaroo and alligator steaks or France with a kind of snail in a silly French name like, Kébab à la sauce inspirée par le parfum d'un été aigre-doux and, of course, Unitedstatian hotdogs, burgers, etc. I think it's a bit expensive but hey, I want to see you paying for the trip to Australia in order to try a alligator burger, lol.

By the end of the day

I was on the bridge that connects Norrmalm to Gamla Stan and, this, to Södermalm. During autumn you can actually track Earth's revolution around the Sun by looking at its apparent position over Södermalm. This picture is from October 31st, 2014 at 13h59 (2014-10-31 13:59:28) and, yes, I know: it's 2pm and it's almost night, I damn right love it.

The Old Town

Gamla Stan, the Old Town, is Stockholm's core downtown. Besides the beautiful architecture, you can find the Royal Palace, the Nobel museum, the Mint museum, churches and a lot of other tourist attractions. Personally, I love walking in Gamla Stan any time of the year, being among its small streets feels like traveling back in time.

Arrivals sunset

This is one of the breathtaking postcards you can appreciate from the windows in my previous entry. As I said, spending some time in the waiting area and a nice hot cup of coffee will ease the nervousness of a new trip or the anxiety of seen that special someone once again.

SkyView

SkyView is a panoramic pod-like elevator that goes up and down the Ericsson Globe providing passengers with a breath-taking landscape picture of the Swedish capital. The whole ride takes about 20 minutes and when one pod is going up the other one starts its descend. If you are interested, take a look at the official SkyView website.

Summer of '14, 20h51

A sea of clouds a late afternoon during the Summer of 2014. Beautiful orange/red skies with the Sun hiding behind the hills.
