Pyhätunturi
We travelled from Rovaniemi to Pyhätunturi today. It took about three horus by bus. The more we travelled North the higher the snow. It feels we are in a different country. Of course this is still Finland and we are quite above the Polar Circle but the difference with Southern Finland where we live is quite striking. This winter we had almost no snow. It has not been really cold. It is only up here, […]
To Lapland
Let’s leave Stockholm now. Today we left a gray and without-snow Tampere and travelled by train up North, to Rovaniemi. We will stay there for one night. The next day (Sunday) we will get the bus and travel two and half hours further North, to Pyhätunturi. We will be above the polar circle and in the heart of Lapland. I will be posting as usual daily (at least one photo a day) and almost live […]

The present buildings for the museum in Frescati, Stockholm, was designed by […]

Upside down
Imagine a different perspective. Imagine a new way to see things. Imagine a new way we can live. Imagine to turn things around. Imagine if things were upside down. At least one photo a day
Stockholm metro
The Stockholm Underground (tunnelbana) opened in 1950, and today the system has 100 stations in use, of which 47 are underground and 53 above ground. Traffic in underground moves on left-hand side, because cars still drove on the left in Sweden when the underground system opened. In 2017, the underground carried 353 million passengers, which corresponds to 1,2 million in a normal weekday. The 105.7-kilometre-long underground system has been called ‘the world’s longest art gallery’, with more than 90 of the network’s 100 […]

Carl and Olga Milles art museum /1
Millesgården can be termed a work of art in its own right, a nicely balanced stage design of terraces, fountains, stairways, sculptures and columns, coupled with a diversity of vegetation and an immense vista across the waters of Värtan from the rocky heights of Herserud.
