Foxy in Stockholm
2007
 
Foxy in Stockholm in a sky lift.
Here you can see how the high sky lift is going. It goes up about 52 meter. You have a wonderful view over Stockholm city, if you dare to go up in that thing.
Of course I should up in that thing! Look how small the trees in the park below are! The sky lift was standing in Kungsträdgården (The King's garden) in Stockholm.
In the King's park is a fountain with six swans who are sprinkling water.
Here you hardly can see the swans.
The weather was not so nice. There was a little drizzle. That's why the pictures looks so dark and grey.
The big square building it the Royal Palace.
The church beside the park is named S:t Jacobs Church.
In the centre of town are many old buildings.
Far away in the distance you can see the Kaknäs tower.
Here you can see the Kaknäs tower better.
A sculpture in the park. Hooded Ove is going there
He, he,  the gull is sitting on the head of statue of Karl XIII :-)
Ove in the park Kungsträdgården.
The sparrows liked to drink water from the fountain.
A real nice fountain.
A sparrow eating from a plate with a fork. This looks so funny :-)
Here the birds are queuing up for the food. LOL :-D
This man is a funny clown and he came with his feather duster to clean Foxy's coat. I was smiling, because I was amused. Then the man was smiling too.
There were rain pearls on the leaves in Kungsträdgården.

They have art in several metro stations. Foxy liked this penguin very much.

Me and a secret agent This was in the army museum.
Half a year ago I had a dream that she was walking in this street. But I  never had seen this street before. This summer I saw this street in real. Is not this odd?
This day the weather was a little better. I took this picture from the boat to Skansen.

This is Katarina hissen. (The katarina lift) It connects Slussen to the square Mosebacke Torg. It was built as part of another building. You have a wonderful view over the town from the gangway.

It you walk through the gangway you come to the part of Stockholm named Söder (The south)
Me on the Katarina elevator gangway. Whoops my hood is blowing up.

Ove on the Katarina elevator gangway. Whoops Ove's hood is blowing up too. :-)

We have been here almost every time we visited Stockholm but never had luck that the weather was nice so you could get blue water on the pictures.
