bric-à-brac

2010-09-27T06:27:00.002+02:00

There's nothing low-budget about this brick wall in Vreten. I just felt like using that particular title.

Outside a pink wooden fairytale mansion, the birds can also dine in style.

sleepless Science Tower (3)

2010-08-07T06:07:00.000+02:00

Not the fanciest of shots. Somehow, I like the appearance of the Science Tower in Kista.

Kungsängen is situated 24 kilometers north-west of Stockholm City. Here's the town hall and administrative center of Upplands-Bro Municipality.

Scenes from ordinary day of life on tiles. These tiles, found on the facade of a pretty ordinary looking building, were made by S:t Eriks Lervarufabrikör Uppsala.

Do click on the image above for a closer look.

ulriksdals slott

2010-04-18T08:18:00.001+02:00

Once a country retreat or a veterans' hospital. The history of Ulriksdal Palace is diversified.

Ulriksdal Palace Theatre, Sweden's oldest rococo theatre, was established in 1753.

By the time I got this parting shot of the railway bridge at Almarestäket my fingers were entirely numb with cold.

råsunda kyrka

2010-03-28T08:28:00.000+02:00

Not unlike a box made of bricks, here is Råsunda Church from 1968 in Solna. The tall bell tower (out of view, to the left) casts a shadow across the wall.

Another view from Hässelby gård. The residential buildings in the background are lined up along Maltesholm Street.

haninge bibliotek

2010-02-27T08:27:00.000+01:00

Haninge Library from 2002 in Handen is an example of a modern, open architecture. Lots of glass. All in all, the municipality has five libraries.

the multi-storey paradigm

2010-02-19T08:19:00.009+01:00

Vanda, Finland and Askim, Norway are two sister cities of Huddinge Municipality. I bet the architecture there is somewhat more captivating.

comfy boredom

2010-02-14T08:14:00.000+01:00

Not the fanciest covered footbridge but it sure beats fighting rain and storm while walking to and from your train.

Back to the future in Hässelby gård. The view must be splendid from up there.

sollentuna simhall (5)

2009-12-19T08:19:00.001+01:00

Not much daylight at this time of year. The swimming complex in Sollentuna aims to let it all in. Here's the glassy roof.

Santa's new house

2009-11-20T22:25:00.006+01:00

Huge, is the word. This house, built inside Stockholm Central Station, is built of gingerbread. Truly. I'm not joking. 294 kilos of flour, 92 kilos of marge, 110 kilos of sugar, 66 liters of syrup and the same amount of water. Add about 10 kilos of spices (cinnamon, clove, ginger and bikarbonate) and you end up with enough dough to build this house. Don't know where to find an oven big enough to bake it though. It's all part of an advertising-campaign of course. You'll find the company's name if you look closer.
