Here we go!!

The New railway station (Umeå Östra) and a new residential area besides the Umea River

This is part of my beautiful city Umeå. I took this picture from a bicycle flyover, overlooking this roundabout. Straight ahead is the new railway station (Umeå Östra) and behind it to the right are new residential buildings besides the majestic Umeå river. I really like to present the pictures in stills like this one. But it's going to take a lot of time and space to present thousands of pictures. That's why I'm opting for slides in video format like the one below. That way, I can present many more pictures in one video. The only draw back is that the video has to be compressed, thereby comprising the picture quality. Remember the pictures are taken by an amateur using an amateur camera. But I'm going to provide links here to more professional pictures of Umeå taken by professionals.
   What I'm going to do here is to present the city Umeå neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block and street by street. I'm not going to hurry. I've got the time and the passion. I love the place. It's a small but beautiful city. Beautiful from top to bottom. Please enjoy and remember to come back later. Better pictures are still to come.

WELCOME!!

    Hej och välkommen!

Yes! Before getting started, let's get to know a little about the name and face behind this blog. The name is Emmanuel Mukumu and the face is the one you see in the picture to the left (the older one ofcourse). I am a Physicists by education, so when I'm serious I talk Physics. I talk about celestial objects and phenomena. I talk about stars, how they are born, their evolution and how they die. I talk relativity. I talk about Einstein's equations of general relativity, and I even solve them.

When I'm less serious I tell stories and make jokes. Yes, seriously. All kinds of stories. To tell stories you must have stories. So I read a lot. And when I'm not reading or telling stories I'm arguing about FC Barcelona and Real Madrid or whether Messi is better than Ronaldo. And if I'm not doing that then I should be on the football field serving as a referee. Didn't know that? Yes, I'm actually a trained referee, albeit at amateur level for now. And when I'm done from the field? Well, not enough space and time to say everything I do when I'm not serious.

I live in Umeå, a small beautiful town in Northern Sweden. I have lived here for the past 7 years 4 months 29 days and 6.3 hours, to be precise. You will get to know more about the place in the post that follow.
