I was four days in Stockholm this summer. It is a very likable place to be. Below are 16 photos of what I stumbled upon while walking the streets and paths. Areas of focus were Kungsholmen, Södermalm and Djurgården. Enjoy (the pictures are clickable)!
The photos were taken during two of the four days. The first day was mostly spent in the Royal Palace (photos prohibited) and in shopping streets. The pictures above are from the two following days.
The last day was mainly spent at Fotografiska, a quite recently opened museum for contemporary photography. Definitely a place to visit!
One of the places we visited in South Africa earlier this year was Oudtshoorn, which is in the middle of ostrich land. We stayed a couple of nights at Mooiplaas Guesthouse—an ostrich farm—which was simply fantastic.
In the front of the guest house they had a couple of fenced in areas with a few horses and ostriches. For some reason I had to take pictures of their feet:
Oudtshoorn was one of the really positive surprises, in my opinion. We only planned to use it as base for discovering adjacent areas, but after being introduced to some of what Oudtshoorn has to offer, we luckily changed our plans to have an awesome whole day there and in the surrounding mountains.
Special thanks to manager Andre at Mooiplaas, among other things for making the most perfect ostrich braai. If you haven't tasted grilled ostrich meat, you're missing out.
