Frosty Window

After a cold night.

Low Winter Sun

The days are a little longer again. Which is nice. I snapped this photo while at Välsta the other day. I was thinking about walking over to the old tree, but could not be bothered. I really need to get out there again taking photos, but this Winter is a little too much for me at the moment.

Hello

It looks like we are getting a really long Winter. Not really my cup of tea. Snapped this shadow figure on a cold day when we had a blue sky for a change.

Wheely Cold

No bicycle weather anytime soon. A recent forecast from SMHI said that the cold weather will continue for another two months. Not sure I like that. I spotted this bicycle wheel at the Krigslida commuter station a couple of old days ago.

Mulsta

After seeing Sweden win Gold and Silver at the Winter Olympics yesterday I went for brisk Winter walk. Nice with a blue sky for a change. -5C so not too bad. Met a few people out running, but no cross-country skiers. This is Mulsta Länsmansboställe.

Bird tracks in the snow

It looked a bit artistic to me. The snow covers a big greenhouse that is not heated during the winter. Most likely it was a crow that landed there and skidded around a bit.

This way to the playground

The cold Winter weather continues. It was -10C, with the windchill factor as I took an evening promenade yesterday. The rocklösaån stream winds its way through the park in Tungelsta. There are two bridges and this one leads to a playground.

The sad remains at Graneberg

Graneberg at Södertäljevägen in Tungelsta. The last gardener here, Janne Sandh closed shop quite a few years ago. He still lives there and his daughter has her carpentry businnes here, but the greenhouse nursery is a sad sight these days.

The color boxes

Back in the early 1970s, I knew many of the people livig at these 1970s row-houses along Södertäljevägen in Tungelsta. Today only two or three. We used to call them färglådorna. The color boxes.

Quote of the day

Spotted this quote on a recent Winter promenade. "Any one can put the heat to the meat, but only a few can barbeque". Some sort of TikTok meme I think. It feels like the first BBQ of the year is still a long way away.

Available seating

On a field at Kvarnvägen, (Mill Road) in Tungelsta. Come Spring the girls that enjoy rabbit jumping will most likely be back here.

Double Reflection

Theme Day Double. From a classic car meet.

A chilly day to come

We are expecting a national ice day from 1900 hours tonight. Freezing temperatures all over the country for the next 24 hours. Sounds like real fun, or not. The cold weather is coming in from the east so we are blaming it on Russia, as one does.

Takstol

Swedish word of the day. Takstol. New café and more under construction in Tungelsta, next to the Rocklösaån stream. Shot over a fence in the dark.

Pizzeria Caprese

This building in Tungelsta dates back a century. It has housed the local grocery store, post office, cafe, private apartments, restaurants and more. Today there's pizza place here. For the first 100 years the building was white, but now it is red.
