The pictures represent what I believe is a completely new way of looking at Gröna Lund. Perhaps it's something like the way visitors feel at the end of a day spent in the park, their senses spinning after so many strong impressions, and perhaps a little dizzy from going on the roller-coasters; tired and happy, and taking home with them a heady mix of memories, sights, sounds and colours.

The foreword is in French and English (translation Graham Bowers).

From the foreword

(...) Finally, a rich variety of hanging baskets and window boxes on ledges, windowsills and balconets add their part to the wealth of greenery and floral colour.

All of these elements are looked after, indeed cosseted, by a team of gardeners and park-keepers whose work in keeping this amusement park so attractive and nourishing to the eye is at the centre of this book. Embracing the rhythm of the seasons, and doing all they can to adapt what the seasons allow to the demanding requirements of the commercial activities of Gröna Lund, the photographs follow them at work through the spring and summer, caring for perennials, and maintaining the shrubs and trees and the few areas given over to grass.

The amazing lines, contours and silhouettes of Gröna Lund are surprisingly well-suited to being captured by pinhole camera – the amusement park is a huge assemblage of infrastructure, with the myriad overlapping and criss-crossing angles of the various buildings and wooden and metal structures, the seemingly endless ingenious confluences and crossings of beams, tracery and buttresses.

From the Foreword...

(...) You might think that trying to find green spaces in such a densely built-on area would be like looking for a needle in a hay-stack, but they do exist: scraps and gaps of ground which have not been built on, beds planted with packed rows and layers of flowers, small paved areas, trees ringed with flowers as well as with low walls, the green alongside a railing or passageway, flowers on a concrete platform that holds up a tangled mass of steel.
