Another wander around Kista in the snow – previously.

Trying to find my way out of Arlanda Airport upon return from my travels over the holidays I found theres a rune stone on display in terminal 5 – it was found, if I remember correctly, during the building of the road from Stockholm to the airport and moved to its current place of display. “Gunnarr and Bjôrn and […]

Nearest to Långholmen on the island of Södermalm is an area called Hornstull. This is where Högalids kyrka is. Among other things. The waterfront here looking toward Liljeholmen is beautiful, with The Street market nestled under the road bridge and a pair of railway bridges in the distance.

Exploring Kista some more, on my way back from Lilla Rinkeby I found a few more things to photograph.

Just along the road from Låssa church there is a rune stone. This isn’t as well restored as some of the others I have seen.
