Coffee&Candids

He Hears Everything

The Prime Minister Stefan Löfven hears everything with the help of his antenna ears. But will it be enough to win the general election? As seen at the Krigslida commuter station a couple of days ago.

Time Flies

The "midsommarsång" at Årsta Havsbad. Midsummer feels a long time ago. But it was just two months ago.

The Optimists

I noticed a few optimists at the beach, Årsta Havsbad yesterday. The meteorologist was quoted to saying that Friday might be the last real warm Summer day. But they are usually wrong.

Summer Evening Fun

I was sitting on the veranda after dinner when I heard a motor up in the sky. It was a powered paraglider out on an evening flight.

People Watching

Coffee with my buddy Jim at "Kulturhuset" in Handen while doing a bit of people watching.

Crooked Nose

I noticed that someone had put a crooked nose on quite a few election posters in Tungelsta yesterday. The politician seen here is Sven Gustafsson from the Moderate party. I have met him a couple of times. Turns out that it is another politician that is responsible for this. Martin Hagwall who represents Alternativ För Sverige. He was confronted about this and responded that it was a certain type of people that looked like this. The Swedish general election is three weeks away now. goo.gl/bGn98N

Ice Cream Photographer

A candid snap from the pier at the guest marina in Nynäshamn last week. The marina is a popular place for both locals and tourists/visitors. There are a couple of nice eateries, pubs, music scenes, kiosks and a good place for fresh fish, and while my travel buddies for the day queued for some tasty salmon I went for a photo promenade.

Bat Boy

Socialist Bat Boy scaring away passers-by at the entrance to the Haninge mall. The Swedish general election is four weeks away. Batboy represents Rättvisepartiet socialisterna, ( Socialist Justice Party).

Porthole Smiley

Two Dudes

Two candid snaps from Poseidon's Square. Cool dad of the day on his inline skates, and heavily tattooed skateboarder. Plato Plomo translates to, Take the money or I will take your life, but you already knew that.

Babels Torn

Very picturesque villa at Dalarö. I could move in tomorrow. It is called Babels torn. It is a four storey high building, although that is tricky to see from this angle. The house was built a century ago by Carl Carlsson who also built another house, (second photo), where he had a department store for many years, Carl Carlssons Diverseaffär. Today that building houses a popular eatery called Restaurang Ankaret. Facts provided by Lars Palmgren, via Sune Nilsson two members of the local historical society Haninge Hembygdsgille.

Snorkeler

Canoeing at Dalarö.

Jutholmen

The view from Amerikaberget at Dalarö is a good one. You can see a lot of water, boats and ferries crossing the bay, and also this little islet, it is called Jutholmen. In total there are 19 building on the islet, and at least, (4), people live here year round.
