Tantolunden | Stockholm

Tantolunden, a colonial garden park in central Stockholm, designed by the garden architect Alfred Medin, completed in 1899. I always make time to visit – there’s a lookout place at the top where you can sit down & enjoy the view over Stockholm 🇸🇪

Summer Cottages

Sweden has almost 100,000 lakes & one of Europe’s longest coastlines, dotted with thousands of islands — more than two-thirds of Sweden’s surface is covered in forest. It makes the dream of a summer cottage optimal. The perfect environment to get away from everyday life.

“Things should be primitive but practical. One should relax & live as naturally as possible. That’s the charm.” Words from Gustaf Odel, one of the pioneers of the summer cottage movement.

Fort Canning Park

This is Fort Canning Park, around the corner of where we live. And where we exercise every evening when the heat has cooled down slightly. You can’t pass by without stopping to take a moment for the beautiful view.

Cafe furniture

I like those cafe furniture that you often see lined up along the sidewalk, inviting & with the front facing passers-by – so you slowly can sip your coffee & people-watch.

Building

An hour’s power walk late & still hot despite the late hour – around 29°. The building is Plaza Singapura on Orchard Road in Singapore.
