Foreign: Stockholm 2

Got the opportunity to explore a bit of the Stockholm metro system, which markets itself as a huge art exhibition.  The lines in green on the metro map are vaguely New York-y, with one station jazzed up with crazy neon.




The Blue Lines are quite different, however.  They seem to be (perhaps because they are) hewn from rock.   It's like installing a metro system in Wookey Hole.




Solna Centrum in particular has been given a fetchingly vibrant paint job. 




The escalators are gorgeously glossy, and look like a Art Deco Christmas installation.  




I suspect that, at 22 quid, a three-day metro pass might be the cheapest thing you can actually buy in Stockholm.
