The house by the creek
This is Åstugan (the house by the creek), at Lillhammar in Tungelsta. Built many years ago by a man called G Bremberg, who lived at various places around Tungelsta. Here at Lillhammar he had a very small nursery business with one (1) greenhouse, which is still there, although it's just a skeleton today. Bremberg, who died in 1942 was also the grandfather to one of Sweden's most famous soccer players,Nacka Skoglund, who was a friend of my dad when they were kids. Bremberg's widow lived in this house until her death in 1949.The property is now owned by the Eccentric Norwegian who only comes here for his potatoes. Despite the crappy weather I decided to stop and have a look around so expect a few more photos from this place in the coming days.

We used to have "little house on the prairie", now we'll also have "the house by the creek"!
That image speaks to your imagination, peace and lonlyness.
I think the weather actually made this photograph more beautiful!
What a great little house! I like the feel you captured in this shot. Goddag
I agree with you Lois. Misty landscapes make for more interesting photos. It's just that I normally prefer a blue sky, that's all!
The creek btw, is called Rockösaån and if you translate that it will be The creek with no ray (fish)in it!
Loneliness is a good feeling here that's for sure.
Goddag på dig Carrie!
hmmm..what an interesting house...it does not look as though it has not been lived in for that many years....
Looks OK from the outside. I haven't been inside so I can't tell you the condition of the house.
