Onlookers

A few photos of the people that just like me decided to check out the 2019 Crosscart National championships at the Högstabanan racecourse over the weekend. Great fun to watch. The youngest competitor was six years old, The oldest quite a few decades older. We were lucky with the weather as this might have been the last Summer day of the year. A few more action photos from this event tomorrow.

Two Local Girls

Local girl Emma Tietjens from C-Pro Racing in her Mini at the Crosscart event at Högstabanan earlier today. I got a free ticket to the National Championships at the Högstabanan race track so I decided to check out the sport. The second photo shows another local girl in action, namely Melanie Lunde from Haninge MK. I came home with around 300 photos and I will probably show you a few more in the coming days. Crosscart is a fairly new sport, it is also sometimes called off-road kart. During the qualifying rounds, every racer gets to compete in three heats before the best go through to the finals that will be held tomorrow.

Feeding the ducks

A new urban runoff is under construction here near the old farm Mellanberg. The rainwater will run through Mellanberg and down to this dam at Dammträsk. There will also be a bike path and a promenade here that will connect Vega, Kvarntorp, and Kolartorp. The woman feeding the ducks from the new pier comes here every now and with her dog.

That Old Tree

My 572th photo of the old tree at Välsta. This really felt like an Autumn day. Windy and around 10C. Also taken for the For the 700th Thursday Walk at Utata.

Views From The Beach

A few more images from my visit to the beach at Årsta Havsbad. No one else around but me.

Haninge Sinfonietta

Haninge Sinfonietta opened the Haninge Day celebrations at Poseidon's square in Handen today. Conducted by Sabine Beyer. Nice start of the day with some classical music.

And the award goes to...

...any other bridge really. I call this one the bridge to nowhere. Mostly because I took a photo of it before it was finished. But it is a bit on the ugly side.

Oat/Havre

One of two oat fields that the farmer from Nedersta gård were out harvesting earlier in the week. So Swedish word of the day is Havre, Oat.

Birds of prey

Birds of prey circling overhead yesterday as I stopped for a photo of the combine harvester. I counted around eight birds in all.

Skördetröska

The farmer from Nedersta Gård out on a field in Österhaninge in his combine harvester, or skördetröska as we like to call them over here.

Sthlm 01

New skyscraper at Hammarby Sjöstad. By Sauerbruch & Hutton. 102 meter high. Already a landmark building.

What symbolises growth and progress?

This used to be a little forest with a bunch of old Summer houses. All but one house disappeared quite a few years ago. The new apartment buildings here at Kvarteret Sjögläntan in Handen are just a short walk from the Rudan nature reserve, and it is also very close to the mall and the commuter station so this will most likely be a popular place to live. brfsjoglantan1.se/
