Abstract suprematism

Another photo used in a Facebook quiz. The top photo that is. I figured it would be tricky, but someone figured it out. A gable at the new retirement home,(second photo), in Brandbergen. It is called Villa Tjädern,(wood grouse). In the foreground, you can see the miniature golf course at Haninge Bangolf.

Villa Gullringen

New retirement home with 79 apartments under construction in Jordbro. Named after the nature reserve Gullringskärret.

Äldreboende

Swedish word of the day. Äldreboende. Retirement home. Ros-Anders Gård. Named after Gustaf Andersson, who opened one of the first greenhouse nurseries in Tungelsta, on this property back in 1907. Snapped from the hill at Bergdalen where my great grandfather Johan Fredrik Jansson opened his greenhouse nursery the same year. That one is still in operation today, but under a different name, Blomorado. Day 87 in my project 100 Days Of Darkness.

Winter balcony

A photo from a couple of days ago when there was some snow left. This is the new retirement home at Lillgården in Tungelsta. It was the snow on the furniture that made me stop for a photo. Every time I walk by here I wonder about that missing window.

Winter Bus Stop

It's -14 Celsius as I'm typing this. Kinda cold even for us Vikings. Today's winter photos shows a bus stop in Tungelsta. Not a place where you would want to wait more than a couple of minutes in this type of weather. Second photo shows the retirement home Ros-Anders Gård. (you can see part of it on the bus stop photo). Named after one of Tungelsta's first gardeners who started a plant nursery on this land 100 years ago. The retirement home was designed by ANOVA architects. It has 40 modern apartments. It was mentioned in a book called Design For Assisted Living written by an American architect called Victor Reigner, who listed this as one of the most interesting retirement homes in the world. To the right on the top photo you can see the pentecostal church. And as most people around here aren't very religious any more (if ever), the building will soon be turned into the new headquarters for the Music Central, so you can expect to hear a lot of rock, punk and reggae music from there in the future. The Music Central is the people behind the Garden Rock Festival.
