Circles and circles

A mere detail on a recent visit to the Swedish capital, Stockholm. On a warm, sunny Scandinavian summer’s day, we visited a wonderful garden centre on the island of Djurgarden in this achingly handsome city. It’s a little table fashioned from some very slim branches for weary visitors to place their lingonberry tea, and comes with two equally organic woodland chairs. Maybe it should be a new range to hit Ikea…

OMG and I thought I was looking at a woodpile. Yes I’d like to see the whole table too.

  Well it’s a very small and neat woodpile, Lee :) Oh, I was transfixed by this aerial perspective. It was small and squat while all the branches were kept together with a bracket.

I’m very curious about the photos from the beautiful city of Stockholm. I hope there’s more then just pictures of your wood :-)

        Hahahaha, I didn’t thought about that… Unlike most people think about the Dutch people, not everybody is into drugs :-) I was referring to snorting in the most snorting way. The way Mike snorts.

Nice shot, Mike. What does the table as a whole look like? (You tease us, Mr O!)

  Cheers Richard. I love to tease! Small, round and perfectly formed as you’d expect from the Swedes :)
