Hammersta Oaks

A bike ride to Nynäshamn earlier in the week. As you enter the Hammersta nature reserve, before even noticing the runestone by the side of the road, your eyes are drawn to three majestic oaks out on the field. If you look closely you should be able to spot a roe deer on the third photo

Old oak at Tjursta

This is an old oak at Tjursta in rural Österhaninge. You can see the tree from the Dalarövägen and I have wanted to photograph it close-up for a few years now. It was a muddy walk across two fields in my Adidas sneakers earlier in the week, but if you want a specific photo you have to sacrifice yourself a bit. Not sure how old this oak is, but it was probably already picturesque back when the long lost property Tjurstatorp was still standing. I will go back for a Summer view of the tree a few months from now.

Branching Out

Oaks are majestic trees. This one, at Skogs Ekebyvägen in Tungelsta is protected as a natural monument since 1945. The road itself is part of the old Häradsvägen that dates back many hundred years and it looks the same today as it did 400 years ago, minus the asphalt.
