    Stockholm. The city by the water

    Stockholm, a city surrounded by water

    I love that Stockholm is more or less surrounded by water. And it is not just narrow canals or large busy shipyards. It is water with open spaces, bright colors (when the sun shines at least) and it feels “fresh”. You can stroll down with a bottle of wine and some bread and just relax. To be honest you can do that, but it is illegal to drink alcohol in most public places… When living in Sweden you obviously have to take the good parts and mix it with the some drawbacks.

    Either you stroll down on your own…

    stockholm love water

    Or with the one you love…

    Or with someone that you could discuss, why your loved one is so not the perfect one…

    Anyway, if the sun is shining and you are lucky enough to be here in Stockholm, ENJOY!

  • Clouds from Disney

    Clouds from Disney

    Sometimes I need to sand still, lift my head up and just look at things that are right there but I often miss or not notice that much.

    In this post I have included a couple of pictures showing how the sun transforms the white clouds into something taken from a Disney movie. Just walking around under the fireworks of colors in the sky can make me feel really small or sometimes, that I´m part of something bigger.

    above the sun is shining

    This image reminds me of flying. Before take off, just sitting in the airplane when the rain falls down outside and everything is grey. Then just a couple of minutes after take off, as the plane pierces through the clouds and gets above the rain the sun almost explodes. Above the clouds the sky is always clear and the sun is always shining. I have seen it on so many flights but I still get amazed and surprised when I see it. The feeling I get when I look at this image is somewhat similar. That above the sometimes dark and shady streets there is a blue sky with a sun shining. They are just not always visible through the clouds.

    coffee at the balcony

    I like this house. I have never been inside but I like the way the balcony wraps around the corner of the building. I could easily imagine myself sitting on the balcony drinking my morning coffee in the sun.

    clouds on the building

    gondolen in sunsetThis must be one of the coolest places when the weather decides to put on a show. The name is Gondolen and it is a restaurant. Just imagine sitting at the bar, having a drink and just look at the city as it transform as the sun sets in the east.

    stockholm in sunset

    This post wouldn´t have been complete without a picture of Stockholm in sunset. Words are unnecessary…

    I will try harder not to miss the small thing always visible. They are always there so I guess I just have to decide to notice them.

    Love to all.
