Lady in pink with children's art in the subway |
This morning, we did a tour of the Blue Line of the Stockholm subway. This is the newest line of their system, and several stops have artwork based on different themes. The Central stop has a theme around the workers who built the metro. The King’s Garden stop has a theme around Roman ruins (even though the Romans were never here). Our third stop had a children’s theme. The artist took drawings that children had made, complete with misspellings, and enlarged them for the tunnels. Here we also talked to a local woman, who was dressed in pink, magically matching the theme. Our last stop had an environmental theme: men maintaining and destroying nature.

In the afternoon, several of us joined Stephen on Jourgarden Island, to walk through the parkland along the shore. We saw sculptures, gardens, swans, and even a deer.
