Högspänningsledning

Swedish word of the day. Högspänningsledning. Power transmission lines in Västerhaninge on a misty November day. The houses to the left are located at Prästgårdsängen, and if you are curious about how they really look, press here to find out.

Tree in the mist

There hasn't been that many photo-ops lately. At least not for me, the fanatic street portrait photographer. Whenever I have decided to go out with the camera it has started to rain. The weatherman said something about 90 minutes of sun this month, and that sound about right. And there's more of the same to come over the next week. It's very depressing. Yesterday was another grey day. Very misty and with a light rain falling. On my way home from a visit to the police (new passport and ID-card), I decided for yet another visit to the old tree at Välsta. Boy was the path muddy on that visit! But the tree looked good in the mist. Believe it or not, but this was my 199th photo of the Swedish Whitebeam.

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.

Misty Day

Yesterday was misty. I mean really misty. Bigger photo. Never seen such a thick fog before. It lasted pretty much all day. As I took the bike up to Välsta for a photo of the old tree, visibility was down to a few meters. Veird to suddenly see a dog coming out from the mist followed by it's owner in the middle of the day!

Misty Monday Morning

The view out my window on this monday morning the day after the election. A bit misty. The coalition won and we will get a new government. The new Prime Minister will be Fredrik Reinfeldt.
He looks like this btw:
