Ruby Tuesday

This little rabbit in a red house lives with a few friends in a part of an inner city playground called Blecktornsparken (Tin Tower park) and even though he might enjoy his life in the city there are alas many other pet rabbits who don't. The ones with completely irresponsible and heartless owners who get bored and just dump them. It is quite a problem in certain inner city areas in Stockholm with these poor domesticated pet rabbits who are trying to survive and adapt to the wild life, not to mention proliferating rapidly.

Hence the upper white sign on the rabbit's door that reads - We can't take care of your rabbits! Rabbits who are dumped here will be put down!/The staff

Even if far too many Stockholmian pet rabbit owners lack a lot when it comes to compassion, responsibility and a caring nature, others seem to have an overabundance of thoughtfulness. Someone thought this sculpture in the south parts of the inner city might be cold, giving it red leg- as well as colourful wrist warmers. I'm sure it made a lot of good on that particularly cold and gloomy day when we walked by.

On days with more pleasant weather the city is still very much worth exploring and even this late in the year one can spot tourist coaches here and there. Here's a Russian one - and if you look closely you might notice that there's a reflection one this bus' side, the Stockholm public transportation bus which is also red.

Yes, days with good weather are perfect for playing a bit of tourist in your own city exploring both old and new places of wild strawberries. Might I suggest sporting a red outer garment while doing that, since it of course heightens the experience.
