Näckrosen (”The Water Lily”) subway station in Stockholm. Made like water lily pond on the roof and walls.(via Monter)
So, I'm perusing my Lonley Planet Stockholm travel guide This brings me to the page of the Stockholm Metro System, or Stockholms Tunnelbana in Swedish. The system, affectionately known as "The T", is widespread and efficient, with three color coded lines and a hundred different stations, bringing you anywhere you'd possibly need to be in the Greater Stockholm area. I get to the bottom of the page, after reading about the different models of trains that the system has had since its completion in the 1960s. There I find an paragraph called "Silverpilen: the Ghost Train". Apparently, the Stockholm subway is haunted. Urban Legend holds that there is a train that haunts the system, which is an all-silver model that was discontinued in the 1950s (Before the entire system was complete). The train has been seen traveling through stations at high speeds right before the T closes for the night (12:30 AM weekdays, 3 AM weekends). Sometimes it stops to pick up passengers, who are never seen again. This city intrigues me!
I'll be back on the 19th.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. It's very nice to meet you. I will be beginning Italian language classes next week but am interested in finding out more about your online courses also. I tried to click the link in your post about your Italian language courses but it's not working. Can you tell me more about it? How it works and the cost? Thank you!
Ciao
Of course you may link to wine90.
I hope your readers find it of some interest
