Lakeside Living

A house down by the water at Övre Rudasjön in Handen. Photographed from the beach.

That Old Tree

The old tree in late October. All the leaves are gone, and with just the berries left this was an unusual color of the Swedish Whitebeam. Down the path near Klems Kulle a man is walking his dog.

Boardwalk

Boardwalk at the Upper Lake (Övre Rudasjön), at the Rudan nature reserve in Handen. There's a bench along the boardwalk where you often can spot me enjoying something to eat or just some sunshine.

Autumn colors at Eskilsparken

Autumn Bench

Eskilsparken, the green lung in Handen in Autumn colors. This is the poodle photography bench by the way.

Poodle photography session with a smartphone at Eskilsparken in Handen yesterday afternoon.

Late Summer vs. Autumn

I haven't done one of these for a while. Different Seasons. The left side shows the magnificent tree in late September when we still had Summer weather. The right side is from this week.

Aspen Hill

Always a favorite spot, the aspen hill near Husby in Österhaninge.

Walkin' Down the Road

Being a local I know a few things about this scene other than that it shows two people walking down a road. The road is Nynäsvägen. Parts of it date back to the Viking era. A new road opened for traffic a few years ago so no one except the locals uses this road these days. It is close to Berga where you will find the agricultural college, and the two teenage boys are students there, so possibly they are two future farmers. The bus service from Berga to Västerhaninge isn't all that great so the kids will often walk instead of waiting for the bus.

Autumn View

A short visit to the beach at Årsta Havsbad. One or two people out walking in the fine weather. The second photo shows the Bera Naval Base.

Autumn In The Park

Autumn colors at the park in Tungelsta. The same park where there's a rock festival in August of every year.

Droplets

It's been raining off and on for a few days now.

Torklada

The old drying barn, (known as a torklada), at Fridhem in Krigslida. For many years there was a laundry here. This barn was built by timber from the USA. Back in the 1920s cars imported from North America were transported in wooden containers. Anyone who wanted could get the timber from the containers and the buildings seen here were built with that wood.

Autumnal Walkway

This has been the earliest Autumn for forty years. This is a walkway/bike path at Krigslida, it won't be long now before all the leaves are gone.

Flying in Formation

Except for that one bird. Heading south for the Winter. These were just a few of them. Must have been at least a thousand birds in all. Spotted at Lillgåren earlier in the week.

Autumn Macro

Another Autumn promenade in a forest. This time at home. In the forest just behind the house. I took the macro lens with me.

When plan fails

The plan on this day was to take the bike to the National Park and from there take a longish Thursday Walk around one of the lakes at Tyresta. A flat tire just a few kilometers from home put a stop to that idea. Instead, I opted for my usual walk at Välsta, although it's not much fun walking with a bike, but there you go. Anywho, here are four photos from my bike walk last Thursday.

The Commuter Station

Two Autumn views of the commuter station, and the old stationhouse in Tungelsta. Photographed from the Lillgården side and from the bridge that connects Stav with Tungelsta.

Östnora

A few images from Östnora. This was the beach I visited a lot as a kid and as a teenager. As kids, we took the bus here during the Summer break. Later in life, we had a few BBQ-evenings here as teenagers. There's a big marina here. And a popular camping site. The beach itself isn't all that much to see, but it is still popular with young families. The bay is Horsfjärden, made famous back during the cold war when the military chased "Russian Submarines" here. Another smaller bay is Åmunsfjärden.

Almåsa Havshotell

A hotel with a view at the Horsfjärden bay. almasa.se/ Snapped from a jetty at Östnora earlier in the week.

Autumn at Berga

Two Autumn views from the Berga Agricultural College.

A good workout

It was a fine Autumn day for it. Roller skier and cyclist along Stavsvägen in Tungelsta. Same place as yesterdays photo.

Autumn

A little grove along Stavsvägen in Tungelsta.

The Commuter Train

The commuter train leaving the Krigslida station on a cold but beautiful Autumn day. Photographed with the 18-135mm on the Canon 77D body.

Counting Crows

Out walking at the old farm at Nedersta I decided not to do that.

Autumn at the lake

An Autumn visit to the lower lake at the Rudan nature reserve. It rained a little but nothing too serious. I asked the woman in the third photo if she was there fishing as she sat down by the water where the anglers usually hang, but she told me that she was just enjoying nature.
