Day trip to Birka, a Viking island museum two hours west of Stockholm

This is my first post back from vacation, which I sadly havn’t had time to process the photos from yet. In the meantime, here’s a trip I made to an archipelagian island formerly home to a major Viking trade outpost and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The journey began at Stockholm City Hall, where all the tourist ferries berth.

Norra Djurgården walk from Ropsten to Universitetet

Norra Djurgården is a large openspace area situated between the two forks of the tbana’s northern red line. I meandered my way through here on a hike the other day.

This factory is just west of the Ropsten station on a road called Gasverksvägen.

Djurgården Walkaround

A few days ago I circumnavigated Djurgården right after a freak unexpected downpour.

I started out trapped in a hallway at Slussen, and was forced to take pictures of nothing while I waited for the rain to stop. IMO this single hallway provides the sole justifcation necessary for bulldozing the entire place.

Kvarnholmen Morning Walk

This post is heavy on the images and light on the words. I also wasted a bunch of time adding some CSS image zoom enhancements.

I went exploring around the Finnboda shipyard area during the day this time, and by day I mean 0400 when the sun is up.

Adventure in Nynäshamn, a quiet coastal town an hour south of Stockholm

I wanted to explore somewhere not within walking distance of my apartment, and after some cursory Google Earth research I took the commuter train to the end of the line.

It was a beautiful sunny day outside, and here you see the Södermalm shore as the we pulled away from central station and crossed the bridge til Slussen.

Nackareservatet: 16km hike from Saltsjö-Duvnäs to Erstaviken

It was a beautiful, sunny day yesterday and I decided to capitalize on it by making a long journey through the forests of Nacka kommun’s nature reserve. I took the Saltsjöbana a few stops further than mine and got off at Saltsjö-Duvnäs station, which is right on the edge of the wilderness.

I couldn’t believe how colorful some of these photos turned out straight from the camera, but it really was a pleasant day.

Walking from Downtown Stockholm to Nacka

I had lunch with a friend in the Normalm (downtown) district of Stockholm, and decided to walk back to my apartment in Nacka by foot. It might take an hour if walking direct, but I made a journey out of it and took four times that. Being unplanned, all of the images were taken by my cellphone. It does a pretty good job as an impromtu camera methinks 🙂
