This is Upper Välsta. Looks a bit snowed in here doesn't it. The white building today belongs to Christina whom you have met here before. Välsta became a farm sometime during the Iron Age. That was back when Tungelsta was known as Thungirsta. On one of my visits (when there was no snow), Christina showed me the remains of a Domarring from the Bronze Age. A couple of decades ago the little village still had a genuine old feel to it, but that is not the case today as some of the old buildings are gone and a few new ones have been built. You have a decent view over the surrounding areas from Upper Välsta and you can actually see the old tree from here.

Excellent photo - white and black.
Love the snow at the gateway. Interesting history too today.
Beautiful photo Steffe!
Quite like Winter scenes, really like this one!
The snow is so deep!
I think Christina should FIRE her snow removal service people - they're doing a terrible job!
What an impressive house and entrance gate!
Lovely use of black and white on pristine snow. So elegant.
Interesting history too, thanks.
Looks like they are away for the winter! Lovely property.
What a beautiful place!!:)
oow, so pretty!
really gorgeous. I love it.
I especially love how simple the gate is. It could so easily be this ornate thing. Very 'country', as a result.
A nice symmetrical winter scene. Interesting that others see this as monochrome . . . I noticed the red highlights above the windows.
Such a beautiful composition. But nobody's going through that gate for awhile - any direction!
Ha ha, good one Leif. There's of course two entrances to this place, so no one needs to be fired!
Wonderful. Can't believe how much snow you have
Such an elegant gate and 'avenue' of frosted trees . . .
Than wonder of photographs.
