Hi everyone!
I enjoyed Novacaptain's great "documentary" from his camping, so I thought I'd keep the ball rolling! Nothing so exciting as a trip to the woods, but I ventured out in the town this morning and shot some everyday life.
And it's a spectacular weather today! We had snow just a couple of weeks ago (and from what I hear on the news there'll be more this weekend)
Carolus Rex, the old battlements of the city. This part is just 100m from where I live. They actually kept russian POW's in there during the 1700th century. The tunnels stretch out deep under the city.
Looking out from Carolus Rex:
...and as seen from below:
This is where they sell alcohol (government monopoly):
Another government building. The sign would have you believe it's a telephone company, but I'm pretty sure it's the security police 
Public transportation:
'Kungsportsavenyn' - the main street:
There is a lot of water in this town, canals and bridges everywhere:
A great club. I went there last week to see Fireside perform, and it was GREAT.
This is just 5 minutes from my home, and it's one of the (few?) places where you still might see open prostitution. They made it illegal, but nothing really changed.
The supermarket where I shop. You can also see it on the picture above:
Some more water...
A creepy church. I positive it's not God they're worshiping in there...
Cheers!
Mon

Hey Mon I recognize some places there, Cool.
The weather is awesome in my town too today and I have ordered a digital camera earlier and it seems like I will have that one today so maybe there will be some pictures from me too. If I can get the camera to work that is....hehe
Fireside rocks, didn�t know that they were still playing, didn�t they have a lot of side-projects the members in that band?
Ok, what are they worshiping in that church? satanic stuff?
btw, I take it in swedish, jobbar du med spel-grafik och s�nt? vilka spel- f�retag finns i G�teborg?
Nice pictures

Really nice pictures Mon, henrik and matthew,
I don't remember anything of Goteborg from when i went there but it seems that all the cities have pretty similar architecture. Mon...i thought the security police headquarters had a big neon sign saying "S�PO" on it.

...aaaaand a closeup:
Matthew - Yeah fireside is going strong! Jesus man, they just released a new album, go get it!! It's almost as good as Elite (!) No I don't work in a big game company or anything, I freelance for most part (though I've done graphics for the super-cool shot-em-up Robobombo by Ninjagames) I'm not very into the whole gamebusiness, but DICE has a huge office here, as well as UDS (though I hear that sadly they're not doing too great at the moment)
henrik - No problem! =)
novacaptain - thanks man! yeah, they've got those signs too =) Seriously though, my firend's girlfriend works in one of those "telia" buildings... And sure enough, it's S�PO...  She doesn't even tell HIM what she's actually doing in there...
