pissoire, a photo from Uppland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

This pissoire (urinal) tastefully decorated in pink and green tiles is, without doubt, a "dinosaur." In Paris 20 years ago, pissoires not half this pretty were functioning. Today, they're all gone. This one in Stockholm really deserves to be maintained...cut off the water and mark it "out of service"...but maintain it as a relic of simpler times.

Just a note on the placement of Stockholm; it is not in Härjedalen, nor is it even in Norrland. Stockholm is situated on the border of Uppland (northern parts of the city) and Södermanland (southern part), both in Svealand.

Thanks for sharing our Swedish habbits ;o)

The picture needs a bit of sharpening and perspective correction and the red and yellow sign on the gate is a distraction.

However my most concern is that Härjedalen is one of our smallest landscape and the only one that doesn´t not even have a town. In fact it is our least populated landscape with only about 1 person/km2. And sometimes he is on vacation......
