Two walks in the park

Claes Britton | Jun 4, 2009 | 0 comments

I took myself out on on the eve of the Sunday before the previous, and then again on the ensuing Monday morning, for a pair of quite mighty two hour power promenades - with ski poles, but of course! - encircling our glorious Royal Djurgården park. Still, I rounded no more than the northern part of the unique National City Park, one of its kind in the world. There could have been no doubts that it was summer, this so eagerly awaited annual guest of honor, which had now arrived. Each and anyone who views my imperfect mobile images from these walks will instantly understand wy I, unlike so many of my friends and associates, never even considered moving away from my hometown. Central Park? Kensington Gardens? Bois de Boulogne? Thanks, but I think I'll pass...
