Thanks to Jan Vennberg and the City of Avesta for making this project possible.

There was quite a show of people at the opening!

And we recieved special gifts from the city.

Look everybody, even “StapelJohn” showed up!

And then there was the media…

We’ll have to get back to that later.

Thanks to Bryggeriet er… ah… Patrik Evander for all the photos.

Please stay off the concrete for the next couple of days!

While it was wet this morning, I took a few photos…

Here is one from the street-style.

Wrapped Skatepark

Has Christo done that one yet?

For your eyes only…

I like having my camera back!
And the park is looking pretty and pretty much done.

What’s going on out there?
We’re just trying to enjoy a little break and a little bit of heat.

Quite possibly the best friends in the world.
And watch out Sweden here they come.

Dinner with the group of individuals that made this project possible.

Must mean the job in Avesta is nearly finished.

Today was the first snow of the season!

I didn’t stick around long enough to get any photos. Actually it didn’t stick period.

Well here’s a few photos from the past couple of days.

The boss enjoying a little comfort and a short pause.

The viking has landed.

Giving the concrete a ladies touch.

Ah… Looks nice with platforms.

Here Hannes and Chucky are finishing the copings.

For all you poachers out there, please stay off the concrete coping. It needs time to cure.

Dave and Cradle Nuts paid a visit this week
