A White Winter Sky

Winter in Sweden

We have had a white winter sky in Haninge for the last few days. And with that I mean a snow fall or two. Which makes for good photo opportunities. This is a place called Sveaborg. It's located next to the runestone I showed you yesterday. The property was built back in the 1920ths when Josef and Henny Emanuelsson started a greenhouse business here. Later the Roos family bought the plant nursery and they built a new home closer to the greenhouses that are just down the road. This is one of those places that I often photograph, and on this occasion it was the Swedish flag that brought some extra color to this beautiful scene and I decided it would be perfect for Skywatch Friday.

  1. Perfectly composed and exposed. And it's sharp, too. Great job. The color extremes are very effective.

  3. I love how the snow makes the red paint on the buildings pop. And the flag makes it even better. :-)

  11. Sånt är ju alltid kul! Man får kommentera på både svenska och engelska. Jag har ytterligare bilder på Sveaborg. Det blir nästan alltid bra bilder här.
