Autumn in Stockholm

Suddenly I find myself spending the autumn months in Stockholm, a cold but beautiful city. Even though I’ve been here countless times during the last 30 years, I still find new places and I love exploring the crooked alleys and hidden paths lurking around the corners.

The Old Town never gets old, so to speak. I have been roaming these narrow alleys for decades, but I still manage to find something new here and there.

During summertime the streets are filled with a neverending avalanche of tourists, but on cold evenings the streets are blissfully empty. I wave to my old friends, the dragons perched on the tower of the German Church, as I head down the very narrow steps of Mårten Trotzigs gränd.

Soon the annual Christmas fair at Stortorget will open and people will appear like a train of lemmings, but tonight the alleys are empty and all mine.
