After a week of intensive work, here is an intensive housekeeping end to it!

Hopefully, there will be a bit more time for drawing and reading... :-)

Dear all,

First of all, let me address you all the best for 2010. As they have it here :

Gott Nytt År

Very best wishes to you all.

Secondly, I must confess it is going to be hard to keep up the pace, as my camera is OOO. All I can do, is publish a load of useless photos taken with my webcam! I can't even upload photos from my mobile since I've set my laptop back to xp and the bluetooth assistant is nowhere to be found! Just my luck!
Anyhow, I will try and publish computer-made paintings, and anything else that I might find relevant to my stay in Umeå.
In the meanwhile, warm regards! And write to you soon...

I hope you've enjoyed these photos. I am very sorry to announce that they might be the last ones you see for a very long while as my camera's lense has just died by -11°C.
So that's all folks!

Today when I came back shopping, I saw this little guy resting under the outdoor bench. I wonder what he might be doing in this area.
I tried feeding him some Wasa, but didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it (the magpies were though).

En helg i Stockholm

On my way to Stockholm...
Annika and Jonne had kindly offered to drop me off in the capital and I couldn't refuse! A break from Umeå, great!
This is me in front of the Höga Kusten Bridge, about 100 km North from Sundsvall.
Sundsvall was in fact our next stop. The place is amazingly crouded with gigantic shops. We stop at the Ikea store (probably the biggest in the world!) to have lunch and buy a load of cheap perfumed candles (THE thing to have in Sweden!).
Umeå - Stockholm = 740 km, over 7h30 driving...
Early the next morning... making my way to Gamla Stan.

Gamla Stan(The Old City), primarily consisted of the island Stadsholmen. This part of Stockholm dates back to the XIIIth century.

Gamla Stan and its 'alleyways and cobbled streets'...

The Royal Palace

The Parliament

Swedish phonebox (I've seen that somewhere else!)

The architecture is supposed to be inspired from the North of Germany, but I think it reminded more of Bruges.

A native...

Swedes like to gamble...
