The Red Nest Boxes
Two red nest boxes near Söderby in Handen. Shot this from a pedestrian bridge. No idea what type of bird the nest was made for. Most of my flickr photos are organized in sets. I realised that I didn't have a set for birch photos, so that has been fixed now!
My theory is that the red bird houses are actually trail markers to help people find their way home in the snow. haha. Nevertheless, they look charming in the birch forest.
p.s. At first I wondered who Stefan J. was. After following links I finally realized, "It's Steffe!"
Fooled you Jack. It was a rural place a century ago. What you don't see here is the busy road to the left and behind me. Or the big supermarket to the right where thousands of people buy food every day.
Now that's a little odd Steffe, but I like them, their colour AND usefulness!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the red boxes stand out against the trees. Lovely shot!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Halcyon. Very cool shots.
ReplyDeleteIt would make a cool Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo. I do like birches, such graceful trees and they hang on to their leaves here longer than most.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good photo, but curious. It appears to be in a rural setting, so why would someone put bird houses there?

Excellent photos! The birches are beautiful and the squirrel is cute.

ReplyDeleteVery cute little red boxes!
ReplyDeleteBirch trees are one of my favorite. I'd guess the red boxes are for cardinals. Maybe?
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. Reminds me a bit of the aspens in Colorado.
