I invited a friend for a hike in the archipelago to enjoy early spring. We wanted to see migratory birds, cranes, geese, and catch the first wild flowers waking up after winter. My friend is an archaeologist; he knows of every Viking Age treasury hoard, Bronze Age relic, and Stone Age settlement found in the … Continue reading A spring hike in the archipelago

To see the world in a grain of sand
Exploring the caves of Stockholm
I'm on a mission to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro. The Stockholm Metro is the world's longest art exhibition. Most of its more than 100 stations feature art prominently and have their own unique identity. I'm particular fond of the cave stations -- the underground stations where colourful and decorated concrete walls surround … Continue reading Exploring the caves of Stockholm
Playtime
One sunny weekday in March, I took a detour to visit Thorildsplan, a metro station on the Green line six stops north from T-Centralen. The Stockholm metro is the world's longest art exhibition with most of its 100 or so station featuring art more or less prominently. I have an ambition to visit more stations … Continue reading Playtime
Stadion
My quest to visit more stations of Stockholm’s metro in 2026 brought me to Stadion, two stops north of T-centralen on the red line towards Mörby Centrum. Named after Stockholm Stadion, built for the 1912 Olympics, and with the Music Academy also near by, the art of the station reflects these themes. I love how … Continue reading Stadion
Winter
After New Year came snow. The cold grip of Winter got hold of my local neighbourhood with temperatures sometimes dropping to minus 20 Celsius. Even the dog agreed to sometimes wait until after 8 am for the morning walk. Lakes freezing over. Most days overcast and grey but every now and then we are blessed … Continue reading Winter
Kungsträdgården
In my project to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro in 2026, I made a detour to visit Kungsträdgården on my latest trip to Stockholm City. Kungsträdgården is perhaps the most exquisite of them all. To submerge your senses to the art of Kungsträdgården is like entering an ancient temple of a forgotten civilisation. … Continue reading Kungsträdgården
The longest art exhibition
One of my ideas for 2026 is to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro. They brand themselves as the longest art exhibition in the world and rightfully so. According to a 2016 book I picked up at my local library, more than 90 out of 100 stations feature art installations and some are truly … Continue reading The longest art exhibition
Photography: Best of 2025
I usually look back on my best pictures of the year each December. It's dark and grey outside so it's nice to relive the bright moments of the year. I take my pictures with an IPhone and edit with the inbuilt software. This is very convenient for sharing online but the resolution is also high … Continue reading Photography: Best of 2025
Lübeck
On the way home from SPIEL in Essen, we stopped in Lübeck while waiting for the ferry to Sweden. Lübeck was a prominent member of the Hanseatic League. The scenic inner city is a UNESCO Heritage site and well worth a visit. Especially if you like marzipan and churches. Built between two rivers, Lübeck was … Continue reading Lübeck
Autumn
Sometimes walking the dog in the morning is less of a chore. East coast Sweden has continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. We do get the occasional storm and rainy days, but with a little luck we get to enjoy plenty of sunny mornings with blue sky and orange leaves before everything gets … Continue reading Autumn
