Bobergstorget

Bobergstorget, the central square of the gas works area of Norra Djurgårdsstaden, during a beautiful autumn sunset.

October Harvest

I really like autumn. It starts in August, when the near-endless days and bright warm nights of summer end, and the nights start to turn dark again. Then comes September, with the last warm days and the first hints of yellow and red foliage.

Then the show really starts. October comes with the colors, and while the month also comes with rains that last for days on end, when the weather is right October has no peer. The sky will light up like no other sky, and the red and orange light will have a counter melody in the yellow and red of the foliage. It's no wonder that photos taken in mid-October each year turn out to be over-represented among my favorites.

Bridge Infrastructure

The bridge isn't just for cars, trains and buses.

The Framed Swan

I think it looks almost like a Japanese torii.

The Morning Fog Rolls In

It was one of those mornings when you look out the window and the world outside is just gone - replaced by a compact white nothing. Bad weather usually makes for good photos, so I hopped on the bike and went out.

The Transformers of Helsinki

Just like in Gabrovo, the distribution transformers and utility boxes have been used as a canvas for artists.

Outbound from Stockholm

View from the cruiseferry Silja Symphony on the way to Helsinki.

A Window to the Woods

Looking out into the forest.

Ursvik Extreme Daycare

A lot of you may have watched Danny Daycare, and then wondered can I bike Ursvik Extreme with my Thule Chariot Cross?

The answer is yes.

Gasometer 1

The interior of the gasometer was open to the public for a couple of hours. Everything gas-related has of course been stripped out as part of the transformation of the gas works into a new residential area.

Open Buzludzha

I hope that the Buzludzha Monument will one day reopen and allow me to peek around inside. Until then, these building projection light shows by MP-STUDIO that are presented during the Open Buzludzha Festival are about the coolest stuff you can see from the outside.

Free Apples

It's apple harvest season, and there's enough to go around. I saw this basket and tried one - it was delicious!

Done Deal

This story is something I cranked out while sitting at the Zagreb central bus station back in 2013, waiting to go to the airport. I had just left Split and it had sort of self-assembled in my head during the bus ride to Zagreb. Now I just had to get it out.

Then it sat in my "drafts" folder for the next 13 years. I made some edits to bring it up to 2026, but otherwise - here it is, as it was.

100 Years Jubilee Air Show of the Swedish Air Force

A century of the Swedish Air Force was displayed at Malmen Air Base. I decided to go on a whim and booked train tickets the evening before. The only train not sold out left 0620, which was a blessing in disguise - since I arrived early I only had to wait about one hour to get to the air base.

More Cats of Gabrovo

It was very hot during the day, but I could almost always catch some cats during my early morning walks. Not as many as last time, but watching the kittens play more than made up for it.

The Storm is Coming

Thunder and lightning would soon come, but for the moment it was a beautiful summer evening sky.
