Alvsta

This is probably my last canola snap of the Summer as they are all overbloomed by now and not very photogenic. This field is at Alvsta in Västerhaninge.

Biked through a rural area in Haninge a few days ago. This is Alvsta in Österhaninge.

The scent of summer

Nothing says summer like a blooming canola field. This is Årsta Säteri/Alvsta in Österhaninge.

Alvstatorp

Situated in a beautiful landscape, this is Alvstatorp. Surrounded by open fields and forested hill sides, Alvsta has been populated since the Bronze Age. Six hundred years ago it was called Aluastrom and later Alfsta. There are grave fields (ättehögar) nearby where it is believed the original village once stood. In the forest between Alvsta and Ormsta you will find a rune stone. The gravel road you can see here goes from Alvsta to Årsta Säteri and it dates back many centuries. Bigger photo.
