A misty morning at Mosebacke

Six photos taken from Mosebacke, high up on Södermalm one recent misty morning. In the first photo, you can see Af Chapman. Today a hostel, moored at Skeppsholmen. Next, Kastellholmen. With the amusement park Gröna Lund on Djurgården in the background. In the third photo, I focused on the cupola on the Sjömansinstitutet building at Slussen. Originally used by a train company that had a station in that building, hence the weather vane. One hundred years ago, a famous artist couple had their studio at the top floor in that building. In the fourth photo, one of the Djurgården ferries crossing Saltsjön. Next, the Nordic museum at Djurgården. We finish with a few colorful lightbulbs.

Tree in Mist

My last two visits to the old tree looks like this, so to spice things up a bit I took a photo from a different angle. Makes it look even spookier, I think. The meteorologists at SMHI informed us that according to their ways of looking at things, Spring arrived to Stockholm earlier in the week. As I am typing this it is maybe 3C from a gray sky, so I will most likely dress up in full Winter uniform when I jump on the bike in a bit.

Nedersta

Two more fog photos. From the Krigslida bridge at Nedersta. One in color and one in Black and White.

That Old Tree

We had two days with a bit of mist earlier in the week, so I had to pay the old tree another visit. On my way there, I met a woman out walking her dog. She warned me about the icy path and asked if I was wearing cleats, so I showed her my Icebug boots before walking on.

Look at that view!

This is a popular lookout point at Åsöberget, a hill on Södermalm in Stockholm. There are three benches here, but I cropped out one of them for artistic reasons. The last two times I was here, I remember eavesdropping on conversations as I sat down for a look at the view and for a bite to eat. Nothing like that happened on this occasion, as I was on my own. Or maybe there was someone else there, lurking in the fog. Who knows?

Moose in the mist

Cycling home along the bike path that follows the railway track on one side, and a couple of fields belonging to the Nedersta farm on the opposite side, the mist rolled in. Standing on one field close to the walkway was this moose which made for a good photo-op.

The Fog

Horror movie weather when I snapped this photo at Hammar two days ago. Don't go in there...

That Old Tree

Wet and foggy yesterday.

Foggy Day

The fog rolled this afternoon after last nights rain. Not too cold, a few degrees above zero. Stopped for a photo of the colorful row houses at Lillgården in Tungelsta. Read somewhere that they were up for a second architectural award.

Narrowing Road

Avsmalnande väg.Narrowing Road. Warning sign at the newish bridge at Krigslida. The orange sign stood out a bit so I stopped for a misty photo.

The Creepy Tree

I usually call this tree The Magnificent Tree. But on this day it looked more creepy. It used to have a lot going for it. For most of it's life it stood next to the 200-year old barn at the Nödesta farm. It was often visited by a group of sheep, but these days it is all alone, the sheep are long gone, as are the barn that collapsed a few Winters ago.

Ghostly Mist

I didn't see any, but I'm sure the medieval cemetery in Västerhaninge was filled with ghosts on this misty visit.

I haven't the foggiest

That would be a good response to the question: what's up-ahead here do you think? The answer is the Krigslida bridge, although it is totally submerged in fog here. This was the misty scene at the newish walkway/bike path between Krigslida and Västerhaninge earlier in the week.

Into The Mist

It was very misty yesterday. At one time, cycling down the walkway along the rail-road line I could see the fog move in closer towards me. This is the tree lined avenue at the Nödesta farm.

Misty Road

Remember that Autumn Avenue I showed you back in September? Here it is once again, and it sure looks a bit different this time around. To see all photos from the Nödesta Farm press here.

Ghost Watching at the Cemetery

Today should have been a good day for ghost watching. Very dark and foggy. I took a walk at the Medieval church and cemetery in Västerhaninge. I'm sad to report that no ghosts were up and running during my visit.

That Old Tree

We were expecting 10 C and a lot of sunshine this past weekend. That didn't happen. This was the scene over at the old tree on Sunday. If you have x-ray vision you should be able to see the a girl and her horse walking down the path.

Swedish Whitebeam

If you have been to this photo blog before, there's a pretty good chance that you have seen one of my favorite places. And here it is again. This is Välsta, a rural part of Tungelsta with open fields, a horse farm two hills and . Check out the original size. It's 16215 by 1024. I started a weekly project at flickr a few years ago where I took a photo of this old tree, a Swedish Whitebeam every week for one year. After I finished the project, people mailed me and asked me to continue which I did. By now I have walked down the path 140 times for a photo! In snow storms and heat waves, as well as sunrises, sunsets and more. Here is a misty version from 18 months ago.
