The Elliott Erwitt exhibition at Fotografiska is stunning 🤯
This was my introduction to the photographer, who 📷 shot people and dogs in monochrome, from the fifties to the modern day

We are about to see Turandot performed by the Royal Swedish Opera in this magnificent room
We’re at Berwaldhallen to hear our son-in-law (and a bunch of people that we don’t know) perform Schumann’s Third Symphony and some other pieces
Our son-in-law got us a backstage pass to the orchestra bar and we’re having drinks with the band!
the kids got a record player recently so i let my son-in-law lead me to a bunch of amazing used record stores in södermalm and i picked up a few LPs to help get their record collection going
oh and one for me (if i can figure out how to get it home)
it's the original fabulous quartet, with keith jarrett, cecil mcbee, and jack dejohnette
Hej då Stockholm, goodbye daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, until next time.
Our plan to reduce by one bag here did not come to pass, dammit Uniqlo!
Headed to the Värtahamnen ferry terminal, then overnight ferry to Helsinki.
Somehow we managed to arrive in Helsinki on the biggest party days of the year — look at this crowd!
We found Kiasma, the contemporary art museum. Such an amazing and beautiful building.
The exhibition "We Who Remain, Sámi Art in Focus," is fabulous. I was transfixed by these two posters by Arvid Sveen, "Sámi Liberation" and "Future of Sámi."
helsinki looks like ...
... well, the part we're in, anyway.
it's a beautiful city, filled with architectural marvels. (apologies for all the wide-angle distortion.)
