My neighbourhood

Some people have asked to see what it's like in Stockholm. And I realize I haven't actually posted any information or observations yet... And I'm still not doing that today. :) But here are some pics of my neighbourhood, as taken on a morning run.

Walking out my door on Blekholmstorget and taking 12 steps to my right, this is a view of the canal and part of Kungsholmen (an island where I'm looking for an apartment) from Blekholmsterrassen:


And this is a view from the top of the steps, before running down to the canal:


Taking the stairs down to the canal, this is part of my current morning route:


I run past the city hall, and this is a view of Sudermalm (literally the Southern island) from Kungsholmen island:


This is a view of the canal from a bridge:


And this is a view of Gamlastan (the old city):


This is a view of old city hall:


And this is a view of Gamla Stan (on the left) and Sudermalm from the steps of old city hall:


And this is Blekholmsterrassen, right before I go inside to wash the sheen of sweat from my grimy body.


So there ya go... it's just like you were with me on my morning run. :)

On my way to work, I took a moment to snap this pic, too. Isn't it gorgeous?

You live in a beautiful spot! One can only imagine living a life like yours, although I believe everyone's life has its beautiful moments too! It reminds me when I go to work at 5 am, and see the boats trolling in the water, just as the sun peaks over the horizon. It's so elegant, and peaceful thinking of the world around us in a mystifying way, which seems only possible after a sunrising morning. Wouldn't you agree?
