Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

It all started when the sun said hello about 3am. By 4 I gave up trying to sleep. Here is the worksite across the street at 4:24

About 4:40 am, the sun started to peak. In the windows across the street, you could see the reflections of the clouds - and a variety of colors and distortions of shape. It was quite interesting:

And at 5:13 the worksite was ready for action.

The building across the street, the triangle building - is actually named the Science Tower. With the reflection of the sun - suddenly I saw all these shades at different elevations - so a photo

The Science Tower

And off to Stockholm (10 km) - starting at the Kista subway station

A church

And a bridge and a building

First in the Rachel series of Alleys Opos visited

A canal

an old building

And another church

Second in the Rachel series

Third in the Rachel series - the man in front is a steet man with his bag of recycle possiblities

Fourth

Fifth

Sixth

This was neat - patches of light reflected from the windows above the rock-front building.

Seventh in the Rachel series

Eighth

Maxwell leading the charge to somewhere

Here I'm working over another bridge. I did not realize that Stockholm is really a multi-island city. Lots of short as well as long loops for walking

Subway (but above ground) bridge on the right and auto bridge on the left. They converge wiht a church to the left

The underside of th auto bridge

A convenient sign (one of the few in English) as to where the red boat moved. About 1 km further, I encountered what appeared to be a red boat - is this the same boat - but 800 km further?

Reminds me of the Testa team in Charleston - excavator on a barge

If you believe the newspapers, the world economy is down. But it is not reflected in construction here or in Singapore - at least I see a lot of construction both places

Could this be the red boat?

More along the water front. See those tower cranes? They must be building something

Is there a difference between dreaming and imagining?

Sailing vessels

I waited and waited to get a photo of the full flag. Many exposures later, this was the best I could do

Rainbow row - as in Charleston

According to my mobile phone with bluetooth assisted GPS (for my camera), I am 2.2 km from T Central - and need to walk in that direction. Otherwise, I am totally lost after 4 hours of walking across bridges from island to island

Folks park their boats here. Wonder if the parking fee is comparable to that of an automobile?

More construction

Maybe there will be an X chromosome meeting here and Josh will give a concert

Creative parking

Though not an alley, Rach will like this

More construction behind the bridge

Walking along the river bank at the bridge I just walked over. Construction offices behind - recycled cargo containers

I liked the framing providing by the bridge overhead

Skanska - as the prime contractor for the Ravenel Bridge

A round about

A program of the cultural revolution (or lack thereof)

Central station where it all started

Another view

Back in Kista - the forum where the conference should be

Part of the Ericsson campus

A sculpture - better than I could do

Another scuplpture, with running water - better than I could do

My hotel

And coordinates of my hotel (Mr. Chip) from my GPS assisted mobile phone and Satellite status - guilty of overteching :(

Navigating from my hotel in Kista to T central in Stockholm at an exceedingly slow rate. Basically I'm pooped
