Stockholm-Uppsala winter wonderland

This week I worked in Stockholm for 3 days. Hectic and fun days with a lot of work during the days at the Jewellery company Engelbert Stockholm, specially to handing out jewellery for the Fashion celebrities at ELLE galan 2016.

I did not have much time to enjoy the exceptional winter weather, more thatn on the way to and from work. And here we go:

STOCKHOLM:
Nybroviken/Strandvägen
 Stockholm Ström
 The little house I'm staying at when in Stockholm is from the end of 1600's
The view from the house over Stockholms Ström and the Old Town, here with the cruise ship from Birka Cruises.

On sunday it was time to go home to Lövstabruk in Norduppland, but I took a long walk to the train station in the splendid weather:

Stockholms Ström, the island Skeppsholmen with the ship hostel "af Chapman"
 s/s Riddarholmen
 Facade of the Royal Palace
 The House of Knights
 Stockholms ström with the City Hall and Stockholm Waterfront hotel

UPPSALA:
Due to problem with a connecting train in Uppsala where I stranded there for 2 hours, but the weather was great there as well and I was properly dressed to wander along the Fyris River:
The Uppsala Museum are situated in a old mill along the river
On the way back to the train station did I pass by the newly re-built department store Åhléns with it's exhiting facade reminding of a 20's cruiseship
Next stop on the long way home was the little town of Tierp where the sun was going down at the train station

With that I will leave you for this time, now I will enjoy a couple of great winter days at home!
Hope You do the same, Per!

Kristina Levén - showing the inner soul of glass

 Yesterday I was at the opening of Kristina Levéns magic exhibit "Vilja till form" in Tierps Bibliotek (Norduppland-Sweden)

I love glas, and even more so now after seeing Kristinas glass art, in light, on light, projected through light, shadows, forms, shapes, and even a performance with projected light on a screen through glass with Kristinas movements holding glass. I loved it all.
In another installation translucent wax moved slowly in the light with strong shadows,
I hope I through my photos I can give Kristinas art justice, Enjoy the exhibit:
 Like atolls in the tropical oceans.

The exhibit is going on until 12 January 2016, try to see it!

Thank You Kristina for a great memorable show!
Per!
