Old Farm at Husby

Old Farm

This is rural Österhaninge. The vikings lived here. Husby, Hesslingby and Kalvsvik are the names of the old farms around here. There are lots of ancient remains in this area. 4000 years ago this was the coastline and hunters lived here. And here is the same place from a visit last winter.

Stunning scenery, lovely photos, I really enjoyed the story, I don't now why but it makes it more special.

I just love it when you post the same scene from two different seasons. Thanks also for the very interesting information on the history of the land. Here in Seattle a big percentage of the the population of the north part of the city have scandinavian heritage. I will be posting some of the Viking influences that crop up here in the next weeks. I love visiting your area through your photos!
