A day trip in Uppsala


In november last year, I visited the lovely town
of uppsala just 40 mn out of Stockholm with Anastasia

To note :

- the gigantic bike parking next to the train station : The story goes that if your bike gets stolen, you can always find it again there someday ...


















- The amazing cathedral, where we had the chance to catch a very important religious event with many bishops, and bishops hats (Uppsala is the center of the lutherian church organization )








































- The anatomic theater Gustavianum( read : dissection room) build in the 1660's by the professor Rudbeck





















- The ugly square pink castle build in 1549 with its canons pointed direclty towards the cathedral : historically a symbol of power over the church




































-The expo of Alfred Frigo, artist obsessed somehow by the number six ... and by being remembered : recorded all his dream for 6 years in a huge book (right picture), and took pictures of what he touched with his right hand for 6 something (left picture)... quite fun !




































- and of course, by night
