Friday My Town: Pictures that Tell a Story

Friday Thursday My Town – “Waiting for Loreen”

An ordinary Summer Thursday in my town!

No, I’m not kidding; even if this Thursday probably set a new attendance record. Ever since 1989, Thursday nights from late June to early August mean free public concerts with nationally more-or-less-famous artists in the town square; and the shops keeping open until the main concert starts at 9 p.m.

This year the organizers struck gold when back in winter they booked the singer Loreen for the first summer concert this year. As it turned out, she won the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 – see music video at YouTube – and suddenly got a lot more famous than she was before that!

▲ My own photos above ▲ were taken about 1½ hours before the main concert. Actually, since I’m not really too keen on standing around in a crowd of around 25.000 people listening to extremely loud music – I did not stay for the concert.

Even if I had stayed, there is no way I’d have been able to get shots like these two below (making an exception here from my policy of only posting my own photos on this blog):

In the winter we take the bus.

 In fine weather we walk – and that includes the
King and Queen! (from their visit on Sept 1, 2011)

I wouldn’t normally include motorcycles in “public” transportation – but when there are hundreds of them together in the town square on one occasion, I do think they must count!
