May 23: Stockholm to Malmö

Finally I departed Stockholm to inch toward warmer climes. The train was going southwest to Copenhagen, but I was getting off it just before that, on the near side of the Öresund, at Malmö.

3784

At the Centralstation, waiting to board.

3786

Okay, THIS is a last view of Stadshuset.

3787

Here it is, Köpenhamn bound!

3788

And then, just to tie things up neatly, a last glimpse of a bit of Riddarholmskyrkan.

3789

At the edge of the Stockholm area, a colorful array of containers on Hallsfjärden south of the city of Södertälje. Is that a little bit of sunlight reflecting off the water at the bottom of the picture ???

3792

The train went around an intensely banked curve!

3793

And another one, in the opposite direction.

3795

Well whaddya know, some blue sky, the first since the departure from Utö. This is somewhere on the approach to Linköping.

3812

The clouds just kept thinning out, with cumulus providing these lovely sharp cloud shadows. This is somewhere after Mjölby.

3815

A curious field feature.

3816

A big ol' barn with an interesting clerestory-gambrel shape.

3822

This was one of the most striking places along the way, a long field by the tracks with sparse birches screening the view of the water beyond, lingering for a little while as we went along. I think the lake might be Anebysjön, just south of the town of Aneby.

3824

A service locomotive (I don't know if that's a correct term) just outside the Nässjö station, I think.

3832

This barn complex reminds me strongly of Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar video. I'm curious about what the functions of all the buildings are. Poultry barns in the back, maybe?
