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.

Waiting to leave. Waiting for me.

You can lose some time staring at the beautiful views that these big windows provide while waiting for either your afternoon's flight or the arrival of your beloved one.

Sverige

This picture was taken while at one of my SFI (Svenska för Invandrare/Swedish for immigrants) classes at the Liljeholmen SFI center. You can only imagine how bored I was that day.

September the 7th

Today is September the 7th, and this date reminds me the homonymic 1990s song by the Spaniard group Mecano.

If you have never heard this classic Spanish-language pop song, here's the video:

Cloud and Backup Services

A few weeks ago Dropbox made some changes to its mobile app, making it mandatory to have its desktop application installed on a personal computer if you wanted to keep activated the camera pictures autoupload feature.

For me this represented no problem since I do own (and use) a desktop computer. Unfortunately, my mother's only connection to the web—as for other million users—is via her mobile phone thus she lost access to this very useful feature which ensures that, in the event of losing her phone, she could keep her most important digital possessions: her pictures.

Being «Transparent» in dark ages

I have recently started watching a TV show called «Transparent». Obviously, the name of the show is a portmanteau for the words «trans» and «parent», implying that the main topic of the show is transsexualism and the —needless to say— awful situations a person can go through while living a life that can possibly lead them to happiness.

Afternoon at Liljeholmstorget

In Stockholm, it's very common to find little markets outside the tunnelbana (subway) stations. In these little markets you can often find better offers in fruits and vegetables than in big stores and, usually, part of the produce (mostly berries, potatoes and mushrooms, among others) comes from local Swedish farms. This particular square is located outside Liljeholmen tunnelbanestation in Liljeholmen, a very nice Stockholm neighborhood.

Walking towards the sunset

This picture was taken while taking a walk with my good friend @tanialu on Karlavägen, Karlaplan neighborhood in Stockholm. I might say that the view of the sun setting down in that boulevard could be breathtaking ^_^

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.
