Balconies. And other hawtt things.

A couple of weeks ago, we had Sweden day and Stangel and Iggy went to the city, but I worked and had to stay at home, and when I got off I called them, and they were like "we're in Fredhäll, come here". I had no idea where it was, so I followed the istructions, took the bus to someplace, met up wit da men and was all "what the fuck is this place?". And then Iggy told me that I'd prolly appreciate the houses. I did appreciate the houses and spent half an hour or so walking around admiring the balconies. I'm a fan of them roundish balconies.
Anyway, I thought my good friend Jonne would appreciate it, so I took him out the day before yesterday. I also brought along a camera to take photos. I'm a pretty bad photographer, but that's what you are getting.

I'm a huge fan of greenery and rocks combined with straight lines and simple geometrical shapes. I took no pictures of the view, but it's magnificent. WATER. And more greenery and rocks.

There were two houses like this in the area, this is the second one.
 

Just to the right of the house, greenery! And concrete. And greenery!


To the left, we see more of the combo between naturally-looking Swedish nature and clear surfaces/simple shapes. You can also see Jonne.
 

ZOMG BALCONIES! I love them so much, the way the rounded ends are free! Also, they look like the things you sat in inthe standarized soviet ferris wheels. WIN.



A little info tablet at the corner informs that the  the house was built 1931-32 and the architect was Theodor Kellgren. As we can see from this and the next photo, he had some neo-classicistic ideas going on.





More balconies.
 

Assymetrically rounded balconies and a looooooooong one!


Closer to the DN-house there were some yellow brick houses.
This is Jonne and a nice-looking door.



Across the road from the DN-house lies a tremendously ugly appartment complex. Now, I've told you that I'm not a good photographer and you can prolly tell from previous pictures in the post, so trust me: the reason why this building doesn't look bad on the photos is because I'm not good enough at shooting houses to capture it's ugliness. Partly because one of the terrible things about it is that it's HUGE. It makes you think "80's" and "postmodernism" in a BAD way. It has some sort of ambitions to remind of classicism and it FAILS. It FAILS at everything. I FAIL at showing it.









Then Jonne and I went to Rålambshovsparken and took pictures with a fence.





And then I was instructed to look like a record cover.



And Jonne was ah man.



And I stroke a gosurori pose. Stangel pointed out that there was something freudian going on with my fingers, but it's just his imagination.



And then we walked around Kungsholmen and looked at houses and took photos, but they'er all quite boring. Then we randomly walked into a design store called Granit and bought a T-shirt and a T-dress. Naturally we had to change into our new white clean gear and take photos at a run-down never-cleaned staircase. As you can see through, my new T-dress is quite see-through.



Jonne looking like totally hot!





Then we posed for another record cover. Just in case.



And while we are at it, we'd like to remind you that we're hot cos we're fly.



And then Jonne went to meet another friend and I went to meet Stangel and we had f00d! This is Stangel.



FIN!
