Day 67: Årstaviken

Today a friend from NY was in town for the afternoon on break from Herräng Dance Camp. She brought the lovely weather with her...sunny and warm with just a bit of a breeze. The perfect day for a long walk along Årstaviken where sunbathers, swimmers and cyclists were also out enjoying summer.

My friend was amazed that the water is safe for bathing. She was also impressed by the gardening plots that run all along Årstaviken where city folk plant flowers and vegetables and fruits to enjoy throughout the spring, summer and fall. As we headed up to street level to continue to my place, she was surprised by how close to a major thoroughfare this oasis is situated and how close to where I live. Yup, I am too; surprised and delighted :-)

Snapped some shots of the flowers along Årstaviken...enjoy!
