Kooperativ vårdcentral i Stockholm medan Raseborg strävar bakåt
Det låter ju helt otroligt! Och när den tanken (att det är så otroligt) slagit mig undrar jag varför det låter så helt otroligt….

A day in the world
On May 15 2012, Aday.org asked people around the world to pick up their cameras to photograph daily life.
