National Day of Sweden

It was time for another scenic walk along the picturesque ring road in Nynäshamn. My walking buddy and I started at Hembygdsgården, (not seen here), where the National Day celebrations had just got under way. You walk along Strandvägen and a bay called Fagerviken. Lots of fine boats to look at here. A quick count told me that most of the boats were in the water now. Having a pebble in your shoe sure can be annoying. The little dog had just noticed a few people he knew. I always take at least one photo of the Nynäs Havsbad Spa. About the Oldsmobile photo. Some people in the Swedish subculture known as Raggare are a bit different. They see the Confederate flag as a symbol of rebellion. The couple on the bench showed a good spot I sat there with two friends a few weeks ago. The last few photos show a house and a beach at another bay photographed from Hamnviksvägen.

Summer promenade

Back at the port city Nynäshamn with my walking buddy Hasse. We started where we finished the last time. At Lövhagen. A café with an inviting garden and good hostel. Then walked through the forest past a small beach with rocks, through more forest util we reached Knappelskär. Which is a bigger rocky beach where you can camp, swim, sunbath, BBQ, or check out the cave. Or even paint the scene as the watercolor guy on the bench did. After that we circled back to Lövhagen met a cyclist and saw an open area where we had a fantastic Viking encounter a few summers ago.

Say Cheese

Out on a five-kilometer walk with my buddy Hasse on a warm and sunny summer day, and he stops for the good deed of the day, taking a smartphone photo of the two hikers. This was at Lövhagen in Nynäshamn, and I will probably make another post with way more photos from the pleasant walk. Stay tuned.

A picturesque walk

My friend Hasse wanted to go for another promenade. He is recovering from a back issue so he walks a little slower than usual and prefers a somewhat shorter walk, so we drove to the port city of Nynäshamn and walked the picturesque part of Strandvägen. Lots to photograph during that walk so that is what I did. In the seventh photo you can see Hasse chatting away with the man that operated the Lövhagen Café & Vandrarhem for three decades. And half an hour after that chat we enjoyed coffee and cake from that place. It was a chilly day but plenty of people out and about as you can see. The spa in the first photo is called Nynäs Havsbad. Strandvägen is a ring road and is one way for most of it, unless you are a cyclist. There was a classic car rally here a few weeks ago which I missed so when I heard the Pontiac I quickly turned around for a photo. The photos with houses on them are from an islet called Trehörningen. There are a few small beaches along this stretch but it was a little too cold for sunbathing on this day.

Kissing on the rocks

I had coffee and cake on a park bench with a view a while back, together with two of my BBQ buddies. At Strandvägen in Nynäshamn. It is a very picturesque walk any time of the year. The one-way ring road follows the coastline and was constructed for the sailing competition held here during the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm. There are beaches and rocks everywhere, and during the Summer it can be a very busy place. Not so crowded on this sunny Spring day. Spotted the kissing couple and had to take a photo before we had our fika.
