Spotted during a house inspection this week: the homeowner had replaced the garden gnomes with his own handmade Yoda figurines. Much to learn from his garden, we have. 🍀📷

Two weathered garden statues resembling Yoda are positioned outdoors with foliage and a wooden backdrop.

I spotted this beautiful creation on my way to today’s first client — who hadn’t even noticed it. Funny, or maybe a bit sad, how much we miss when we’re caught up in our thoughts, our phones, or whatever else. There’s so much beauty around us, if we just remember to look up and take it in. 😍📷

A large tree trunk is intricately carved with various nature-themed designs, including animals and leaves, set against a forested backdrop.

The heart of Stockholm, literally. This time of year, the city dresses up in its summer clothes. Streets bloom with decorations, and some are even closed to traffic so people can stroll, pause and enjoy. 🌸🦋📷

A heart-shaped greenery arch decorated with colorful metal flowers stands in front of a cityscape under a blue sky.

Not only do we get rainbow crossings this time of year in Sweden, we also get the famous and delicious prinsesstårta (princess cake), all dressed up with the rainbow flag. Yummy! 🌈📷

A slice of cake with a rainbow flag decoration sits on a white plate on a red outdoor table, with greenery in the background.

In Tyresö, Sweden this time of year, the pedestrian crossings come to life in the colors of the rainbow. 🌈😍📷

I spotted this Swedish “rondellhund” (roundabout dog) the other day. “Kram” means hug in Swedish — and that’s exactly what I want to send your way. Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🤗📷

A purple wooden sculpture resembling a dog, with the word "KRAM" on its side, is placed next to a road with an overpass in a green and sunny landscape.

Stumbled upon a beautiful car today that looked a lot like the one I spotted the other day. Different brand and year, though. 🚘📷

A classic red car is showcased in a collage, highlighting its shiny chrome details, distinctive tail fins, and vintage dashboard.

I spotted this beautiful car creation and had to take a closer look. It’s not just nostalgia — some things were simply made more beautifully back in the day. 🚘📷

A collage showcasing a vintage red car with its classic interior, steering wheel, dashboard, and distinctive exterior features.

Cute little ”hobbit house” at one of today’s clients. 😍📷

Two small, rustic red wooden structures with charming, vintage decorations stand on a wooden deck amidst a grassy area.

I took the opportunity to stop by here before the first house inspection today. Always a good feeling to start the day off with some calmness. 📷

A serene, expansive body of water stretches towards a distant forested shoreline under a clear blue sky, with a single buoy floating in the foreground.

Just a random stranger I passed while walking home. I liked the color palette and snapped a quick shot. 🎨📷

A person in red sits on a concrete barrier outside a building with a bicycle rack and a yellow mailbox nearby.

Here in Sweden, we love our cinnamon buns and our soft ice cream — so of course, some genius had to combine the two. The result? Pure magic. Yummy! 😋📷

A pastry topped with soft-serve ice cream is served in a paper container on a marble surface.

First test with the Indigo camera app. So far, I like it. Neat features, good design, and nice results. Gonna play around some more with it. (via gunnar.se) 📷

A calm lake is bordered by a wooden dock with a metal ladder under a clear blue sky.

Beautiful morning! I always try to make a quick stop at this place whenever I’m working in the area. It’s so energizing! And this morning, I really needed that boost… 🥱📷

A tranquil lake reflects a small, tree-covered island beneath a partly cloudy sky.

Met this adorable little family during a house inspection today. I know they have a reputation for wrecking gardens, but as a city slicker myself, all I see is pure cuuuute. Look at them — almost like a kiss! 💕📷

A doe and its fawn stand together in a grassy area near rocks and tree stumps.

I don’t know about you, but I think this tiny-house movement is starting to get out of hand. 🏡📷

To quote Derek Zoolander:

What is this? A center for ants?!

A small, red model house with a Swedish flag stands on a tranquil pond surrounded by green reeds and trees.

Photo challenge day 30: Solitude 🇹🇭📷 (This is my final entry for the June 2025 Photo Challenge. And here they are — all my contributions from the month.)

A person wearing a mask and a hat is sitting on a set of bleachers in a deserted outdoor area at night.

Photo challenge day 29: Winding 🪜📷

A staircase inside a tiny library tucked away in the Östermalmstorg subway station, right here in my neighborhood in Stockholm.

Photo challenge day 28: Ephemeral 🪦📷

From Skogskyrkogården (The Woodland Cemetery), just a few minutes from central Stockholm. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place — it’s even on the UNESCO World Heritage List. If you ever come to Sweden, I highly recommend a visit.

Sunlight filters through a dense forest of tall trees, illuminating a serene cemetery with scattered headstones.

Photo challenge day 27: Collective 🎤📷

Shot earlier this year when Kent, one of the biggest bands in Sweden, did a few reunion gigs.

A large crowd gathers outside a modern, illuminated arena at dusk.

Photo challenge day 26: Bridge 🌉📷

A solitary figure stands on a modern bridge overlooking a calm body of water with a dramatic cloudy sky above.

Gorgeous morning! Off to work on one of the islands. Not sailing there with that majestic ship, though… maybe next time! 📷🛳️☀️

A tall sailing ship with multiple masts is docked at a calm waterfront with a Swedish flag flying at the stern, set against a backdrop of trees and clear blue sky.

Photo challenge day 25: Decay 🛳️📷

The ”Ghost Ship” on Koh Chang in Thailand. The photo is taken before the fire last year that unfortunately destroyed part of the structure.

A rusted, multi-story building shaped like a ship sits on land under a partly cloudy sky, surrounded by greenery.
