It's been rather stressful lately and when the working day finally is over I don't have much energy left. It's easier though if I already have something booked to stay somewhat active. And yesterday I had a herbal course I'm attending on Tuesday evenings (online). Usually, I practice yoga straight after work, it's just a great way for me to still my mind and also to stretch my body. Yesterday, I didn't have any desire to do so though, and instead, I decided to go out for a walk. It was intersting because I usually don't do that at that time of the day unless I'm going somewhere if that makes sense 馃檪
This was around 4.30 pm and it was already getting dark outside (even though the difference is huge compared to 2 months ago). So my pictures might be a bit dark. But I still think you'll get the idea. I also played around with editing a bit 馃檪
Like last week the pictures are in the same order as I took them during my walk. This wasn't a long walk but it was nice to get out and don't feel like I was in any rush (everyone I observed during my walk was kind of in a rush, probably rushing from work to their next appointment/responsibility/activity).
This is about 10 minutes from where I live. I'm actually on a bridge but not a bridge over water, but a bridge over a park.
This is the bridge I was crossing.
After crossing the bridge I went down to the park.
This is one of many bridges in Stockholm. I used to live on the other side of that bridge. The other side is also part of the city center of Stockholm, in fact, it's a very hip area. I would say it's more 'neutral' where I live now and I like that better. I never found that 'hipness' to be relaxed at all. (For those of you who might be curious that area is called Hornstull).
More water.
I was also happy to hear a blackbird sing, I think it was the first time this year. Even though I live in the city center I hear birds in the mornings now and it's just such a great sign that spring is approaching 馃檪
I was happy to be able to see the moon. I know it wasn't full yesterday, that's today. But still. That's one of the things I really feel I'm missing out on here in the city center. I have an app that notifies me when the full moon is approaching but if it wasn't for that I wouldn't notice most of the time. Which I find a bit sad.
Here I have left the park and I'm on my way back home. I don't live in this building but this is a common, and still very popular, architectural style here in Scandinavia that's called funkis. A lot of these kinds of buildings were built in the 1930s-1950s. (The building I live in is from the 1920s so it was built before the funkis style).
Almost back home I passed by a small chapel. (I pass by here a lot but I haven't really paid much attention to this building before, maybe because there is also a rather big church close by). You can kind of see the moon here in this picture as well but I wasn't really able to capture it well with my phone.
All of the pictures were shot with my iPhone 12 mini. Usually, I'm happy with this camera but lately, I have felt that it might be time to buy a new camera (I mean to not only use my phone to take pictures). I just find it so convenient and the cameras I do have are so old so the phone usually does a better job.
