🧵 13/21
Although my hotel in Stockholm was near the Central Station, and thus convenient for those times I did use public transport, I chose to get to the places I wanted to see by walking, always the best way to see a city.
The joy of being amongst others in streets, squares, and gardens, of passing shop windows, signs on buildings telling a little of their history, crowded bars offering "after work" specials, abundant public seating in parks and places over looking the water, doorways, architectural details, public art...I was particularly taken with this fountain in the Östermalm district. It dates from 1921 and the sculptor was Carl Eldh, who also created statuary for the garden of the City Hall.
I should sound one cautionary note about getting around in Stockholm. A quick glance at a street map or Google might not be enough to tell you about steep hills and climbs in the city. For example, my visit to the delightful Södermalm district required me to ascend some long and steep flights of steps. Some visitors will need to plan carefully with these relief challenges in mind.

Mural on the Steps of Gálvez Passage, Cerro Concepción, Valparaíso
By Maxi Zamora in Valparaiso, Chile.
Maxi Zamora: This mural reflects the days when boys and girls enjoyed the streets with simple games like hopscotch, and childhood was often experienced outside the home. Initially, I painted a boy flying a kite on these same stairs, then kids going down the hill in carts by the port, and now I wanted to capture the childhood of the girls who enjoyed the streets of Valparaíso. My idea has always been to showcase different traditional games from Chilean neighborhoods that shaped generations and gave childhood that magical charm that makes us want to relive it.
