The Poladroid People

The Poladroid people. I see them everywhere. And I take their photo. Sometimes I know them. But mostly they are strangers. Here they all are. Presented on a map.

Saying Goodbye to Winter

It's almost official. Winter is over for this time. But it isn't Spring just yet, at least not if you were to ask a meteorologist, so lets not do that. This past Winter was a hard one. It arrived in late November and now in mid-April it still feels and looks like Winter. But we have to close the door sometimes and today is that day. Here are most of my winter photos presented with the help of ImapFlickr. If you want to you can scroll through all snaps and see a larger version of the photo while reading the description.

The Sanda Estate

This is an old estate in Österhaninge, known as Sanda. I visited Sanda last summer together with Karin Aspberg from the local historical association. I took exterior and interior photos for a book about the farms in this part of Haninge while Karin interviewed the owner Pontus Braunerhielm. I received my copy of the book last week. In it you can read a lot about the history of this estate and the families that have lived here, including the Braunerhielm clan. The name Sanda dates back to 1362. A runestone was discovered here around 1850 and today it stands in the garden. I have a lot of photos from this part of Haninge in a flickr set called Vikingland and I'm trying a new Google map feature, so if you are interested try it out and tell me how it works. You can scroll through the photos, look at them large and also read the facts right here. Very clever idea if you ask me.
