Mulsta. I did not have any carrots with me, which is a good thing because a few Winters ago people walking by here tried feeding the horses, which really is not something you should do. The Andersson family even had to go online at Facebook explaining that they knew how to take care of their horses. And they had a few signs by the side of the road with the same info.
After clearing away a lot of snow so that I can get in and out of the house, which made me quite warm, I cooled down by pressing my face into the snow. As one does, at least if you are anti-snow. It does hurt a little, but there you go.
Spotted this roe deer in my back garden as I went out for a short walk yesterday morning. There were two of them and I spotted them up on a hill a little later, keeping their eyes on the photographer.
A red cottage in the snow. I think that it is still owned by the Bergström family. If you were to walk past the house, up a hill and continue through the forest you would end up at my place.
The new year got underway with a snowstorm named Anna. We got a dusting and it was snowing as I headed out. Not very cold, around freezing, but a little too much blowing snow, so I cut my promenade short. I spotted this snowman at Hammarbergsvägen.
Theme Day. Photo of the year. Well, photos. One for every month in reverse order. So we start with a photo of the Af Chapman anchored at Skeppsholmen, photographed from The Katarina Elevator. The November scene comes from the ice rink at The King's Garden. For October, we walk up to Mariaberget on Södermalm and continue the walk along Monteliusvägen. I try to photograph this view over Riddarholmen a few times every year. It is often my background photo on my PC. A street portrait of Viking Superman posing for me at Drottninggatan is my pick for September. I spotted the tattooed juggler on a warm August day at Skeppsbrokajen. I added the hen party photo taken at Hötorget to the annual Flickr photo of the year thingy. So that is my July photo. A multitasking cyclist at Skeppsbron in the old town is my June pick. Bride & Groom at Stockholm City Hall works well for May. I visited the weekly flea market at Hötorget quite a few times, and I have a few photos of this regular. I find her very photogenic. A Spring sign for March with this photo of a blåsippa. The Hammarbybacken ski hill seen from Sickla is my photo for February. I walked up that hill a few times last year to photograph the views over Stockholm from up there. We finish with a photo of 79 & Park at Gärdet.
A silly thing we used to do in the Utata group over at Flickr. Last Selfie of The Year. I have not been out with my cameras for nearly two weeks, but figured I could take a self reflection photo and get it over with.
As you know I do enjoy street photography. And taking photos of windows. So this was a gfood scene. Barber shop at Katarina bangata. Styling by Brazil.
Two people from the Salvation Army at the farmer's market on Södermalm. If you donated some money, they would either play a tune, or sing you a song for you. They were quite busy.
Café Blå, Östgötagatan. First, you enjoy your coffee of choice. The one of the witches will tell you your future by reading your coffee grounds. Not really sure that works. Well, I am 100% sure it doesn't.
A few more photos from a recent walk around SoFo on Södermalm. We start with a listed wooden building at the corner of Bondegatan and Södermannagatan. M.O.A.S serve meat on a stick, I think. The third photo shows The English Bookstore. Lykke is a little café. Next, another on the outside, looking in photo near Nytorget. Creative Heads is a chain with 11 barber shops in Stockholm. Brickyard is a good place for a brunch.
