Yes, of course, that's a sewer cover in the city of Stockholm. In the downtown, this interesting shape is used to make this common and simple object more sophisticated.

Some information about the city:

Stockholm (IPA: ['stɔkhɔlm]) is the largest city and capital of Sweden. It is the site of the national Swedish government, the parliament, and the official residence of the Swedish monarch.

Stockholm has been the political and economic centre of Sweden since the 13th century. Today Stockholm Municipality is the largest of the municipalities of Sweden, with a population of 795,163 (December 2007), and Stockholm urban area with a population of 1,252,020 (2005) is Sweden's largest continuously built-up area. The metropolitan area of Stockholm has a population of 1,949,516 (December 2007). Its strategic location on several islands on the east coast of Sweden at the mouth of Lake Mälaren, by the Stockholm archipelago, has been historically important.

Stockholm is located on Sweden's east coast, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. The central parts of the city consist of fourteen islands, all part of the archipelago. The geographical city centre is virtually situated on the water, in the bay Riddarfjärden.

Hi Kristof,
I once heard of someone who had pictures of these sewer covers from all the world... and every now and then, when I see a special one, like you have here, I take a picture.... ;-)

I like the blueish-grey tones here and because I have been in the narrow streets of Stockholm I know that color is very near the real color (which is a bit more grey).
Nice composition and I think it's a nice subject...

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Kristof,

I don't no but it's so beautiful!!!
In France we haven't this sort of sewer cover!
Thanks for sharing!
Best regards Odile

Hi Kristof,

I must say that this is a very nice sewer cover. It almost looks like a design of the starfish from the sea for the design. I like the blue tones, repetition of the block shape, and the unusual subject. I've always wanted to go to the Scandinavian countries.
