True that

Glashuset advertising. A restaurant along Strandvägen, very close to the water.

Literary Stockholm

There are signs like this one at many different places around Stockholm. All with quotes from novels. This one sits on the top of the Västerbron bridge. The quote here is from the Krilon trilogy by Eyvind Johnson. The blue sign have facts about the bridge itself.

Lie of the day

A couple of Summers ago the municipality decided to stop mowing the lawns in Haninge. A great idea that received a lot of praise from everywhere. And I'm guessing, especially from all the busy bees and insects. This year sadly something went very wrong. I still see many of the signs, like here at the big park in Handen, but they have mowed everything.

Mind the frogs

A warning sign by the side of the road at the Hammersta nature reserve to mind the frogs. I minded the frogs, no injuries reported. They move from one place to another other during mating season in April and May so they are probably where they should be by now in a nearby pond.

Beware of the Unicorn

Just a heads up. If you ever find yourself near Kalvsvik, a rural part of Österhaninge, known for an old runestone, the mystery rock, (I guess I should visit that one and show it to you), an old farm, and the remains of an old hillfort there are also a number of unicorns hiding in the forests. So if you are out on a trek and you suddenly find yourself face to face with an unknown white animal with a horn it is probably just a unicorn!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Cat crossing

A cat crossing, or maybe a Övertasställe, (new word made up by me), at Sanda in Österhaninge. The cat that lives with me, Tindra, comes from here.

Warning Sign

Warning sign near Christina's place, I have a weird sense of humor so this makes me smile whenever I see it.

Letting the grass grow!

A very optimistic approach in early January. As seen in central Handen earlier this week.

I will play in the future

Cycling through this ugly underpass at Brandbergen a couple of days ago I noticed two workers standing there looking at the blue sign that they had just put up. Translated it reads: I will play in the future. Looks like it will be lit up so maybe it looks better at night. I'm guessing it is part of the ongoing project to light up dark passages around Haninge. Cycling back later they were busy with another sign nearby so I will check out that one later.

Herr Gårman

Mr.Walkman. Road sign for a pedestrian crossing. Herr Gårman is a word pun. It is a name and when you say it out loud it sounds like You Walk Here. The feminist movement were of course very upset about the lack of a female sign so now we have a Mrs.Walkman, Fru Gårman, in a skirt, but the word pun doesn't work there. This Mr.Walkman that stands outside the retirement home in Lillgården have been hit my a car.

Traffic Sign

Narrow road sign. Or in Swedish. Varning för avsmalnande väg. At Stabergsvägen at the Nödesta farm. Had I panned the camera to the right you would have seen yesterdays view.

Neon Sign Repair

Repair work on the big Coca-Cola sign at the plant in Jordbro.

Cat Crossing

I have a feeling that this sign have been placed here by a certain cat lover and cultural icon that lives around the corner.

Careful...

This little blue sign cracks me up every time I see it. It sits on a wall at the industrial area in central Handen. Translated it means something like, don't walk on the lawn, or careful with the lawn. Which is kind of funny as the photo shows the entire lawn. The other sign says no parking.

Black Bra Varning Sign

Beware of strapless black (push up), bras in this area.

Traffic Sign

Biked through rural Österhaninge yesterday. Noticed this rather unique traffic sign at Sanda. It says Valuable cat without traffic sense. I kept my eyes open but failed to see any cat out and about. It was probably sleeping the day away. Just like the cat that lives at my place, which is also originally from Sanda, and a likely relative to this cat with it's own sign.

Road Salt Kills

Road Salt Kills. Sign on a hay-bale by the side of the road at Dalarövägen in Österhaninge.

Lost in Translation

I can't read Chinese characters (Hanzi), so I don't know what this sign say, or even if it is spelled right. Any ideas as to what it says?
