Swedish Whitebeam

That Old Tree (November 18th)
Ploughing the field


If you have been to this photo blog before, there's a pretty good chance that you have seen one of my favorite places. And here it is again. This is Välsta, a rural part of Tungelsta with open fields, a horse farm two hills and . Check out the original size. It's 16215 by 1024. I started a weekly project at flickr a few years ago where I took a photo of this old tree, a Swedish Whitebeam every week for one year. After I finished the project, people mailed me and asked me to continue which I did. By now I have walked down the path 140 times for a photo! In snow storms and heat waves, as well as sunrises, sunsets and more. Here is a misty version from 18 months ago.

  1. Any idea how old it could be?

  2. Not really, but earlier this year, I got an email from a man who did spend some time at the Välsta farm as a kid some fifty years ago. He gave me some photos and in one, you can clearly see this tree, and it looked pretty much the same back then!
