The Crematorium This was the first Swedish crematory building, designed by Gustav Lindgren and built in 1909. It was taken out of service in 1989 and is today used as a chapel. Of course, "crematorium" is a neologism introduced in the 1930s. We used to call this a "likbränningsanstalt" in Swedish, literally meaning "corpse burning facility". If you ask me, the original term is way cooler.
Public Library Interior Stockholm Public Library was designed by Gunnar Asplund and finished in 1928. It was his last classicist building before turning to functionalism, and we are indeed standing in its rotunda. While I have time to read about architecture, unfortunately I won't have time to read all the books on these shelves. As I recall, the entire collection includes over 700 000 books.
Vasa Street A wintry low-aerial city view, during those short but precious dusk minutes.
The Preutz Alley Winter has indeed come to Stockholm, and to the rest of Sweden for that matter. This alley was originally named after two windmills, in turned named after a seventeenth century miller called Johan Persson Preutz.
The Public Library The Stockholm Public Library was designed by Gunnar Asplund and finished in 1928. It's actually one of the city's more notable buildings, mentioned every now and then in my courses on architecture at the university.
Arena Street You don't often see a lot of empty streets in Stockholm, at least not around 8 PM when this photo was taken. You see the building to the left with the flags out front? I actually went to school there in 2004-2005.
Katarina Elevator This is the top of a nationally famous elevator in Stockholm. It was first constructed in 1881 but has of course been rebuilt and modified a lot over the years. If that hadn't been the case, it would've been one of the oldest elevators in the world.
