Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
‘90s - 40° 46′ 58″ N / 73° 57′ 32″ W
Many New Yorkers affectionately call the Guggenheim “the fancy parking garage” or “the upside-down wedding cake”. Frank Lloyd Wright would probably have smiled or strongly objected.
Frank Lloyd Wright worked on this design for 16 years, producing more than 700 sketches before the iconic, organic building was finalized.
No one leaves the Guggenheim in a completely “normal” way. The spiral ensures that even the most hurried visitors eventually looks as if they are thoughtfully strolling through a work of art. Intentional? Maybe. Elegant? Definitely.

Nuthatch
3.1.2026 - 59°11′00″ N / 18°24′00″ E
The nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is small, compact, and permanently grumpy.
It runs headfirst down tree trunks, shouts its territory into submission, and cracks nuts with the determination of a piece-rate craftsman.
Its home? Bricked up.
Too big? Clay.
Too open? More clay.
The nuthatch doesn’t negotiate, it executes!

Red Squirrel
31.12.2025 - 59°11′00″ N / 18°24′00″ E
This nameless European red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), unmistakably hungry and pleasantly cheeky, is one of our regular neighbours in Dyviksudd (59°11′00″ / 18°24′00″). Its fleeting appearances offer small moments of connection between human presence and the surrounding natural world.
