I wanted to show A. the runestones in Uppsala, so we bundled onto a crowded train and headed north. Thankfully the connection from Uplands Vasby wasn’t so busy and we had a chance to relax a little before hitting the bitter cold of easter.

Outside the Akalla municipal heatworks is a little reminder of times passed.

We went to Hässelby Strand, at the end of the Tunnelbana line. Although the lakeside there is closeby the station there are rather too many blocks of modern flats around the area for it to really be an interesting place. Some pictures from 1950s (in Swedish, but theres quite a nice collection of pictures on most of […]

We took another walk around the back streets of Gamla Stan.

I drove to Uppsala to have a brief look around before I had to return the car. It struck me as a place I would like to return to for a better look around at some point.

In the square behind the Galleria in Kista galleria lies a Stone Woman.

After Jakobsberg I took the train to Sundbyberg and walked up the hill to Näckrosen.

I caught the first bus to leave Kista one day, it took me to Jakobsberg. Something of an odd place, being grey and concrete much like Kista but someone seems to have stolen all of the art.

We passed Gullmarsplan on the coach from the airport one evening, it looked like a place worth revisiting in the daylight.

We visited Nyköping again, in daylight this time. And found the place full of statues.
