Roundabout

Evening walk to the "återvinningscentral". These are the row-houses at Lillgården. I started a photo project back in 2014 when they started the construction here. Since then, they have also built a retirement home, school and pre-school.

A pile

Walking past a not so very busy construction site at Lillgården in Tungelsta. In the background, the yellow apartment buildings at Ankaret. I live just on the other side of the hill to the left of those yellow houses.

The Tungelsta Alps

A monochrome view over the non-existing Tungelsta Alps. Snapped at a field in Lillgården a few days ago, on one of those cold Winter walks of late. -11C this morning, but with a blue sky. Expecting even colder weather later today and overnight

A finished project

I started photographing this building site project,Södra Tungelsta just as the construction got under way. Looks like it is finished now. It took a few years. Colorful row houses. A pre-school. Apartment building. Retirement home. New school. And more.The newest houses are the one furthest away btw.

Twilight

Cycling home one afternoon it was getting dark so I stopped for a photo at Stav/Lillgården in Tungelsta. This is the area with the new row-houses and more, that I have been photographing since the construction began.

A Winter View

A photo from what used to be a farmers' field at Lillgården in Tungelsta. The mound here is man-made and consists of sand, construction work is under way to build a lot of new homes here. The apartment block in the background is called Ankaret. It dates back to the 1960s. The smoke from the chimney comes from the old Stationhouse at the commuter station.

New row-houses

Two photos from the row-house construction at Lillgården in Tungelsta. Built by the local company Turbinen. I took the first photo with my Canon, 77D and a 70-300mm zoom lens. I snapped the second scene with my Canon 6D. It is a nine photo panorama shot with my Sigma 50mm lens. I believe this is the last phase of the construction here, they are still working on the school that you can see to the right under the crane. But, and it is a big but, just to the right of this view, the construction of what can only be described as a small city block got under way last week. I will show photos from that area every now and then from now on.

A colorful sky

Cycling home yesterday afternoon, the sky turned into a photo opportunity, so I stopped for a photo at Lillgården in Tungelsta.

A successful project

The local construction company Turbinen have been very busy building homes, schools and what have you during the last decade or so. Many of them in and around Haninge. Based here in Tungelsta they have bought a lot of land over the years. Some of their planned projects never happened, including the two ideas to build first a golf course, and then a horse racing track over at my old tree! This project at Lillgården in Tungelsta is one of the more successful projects. They even won an architectual award for it. I have been photographing it since the first bulldozers showed up, back in October of 2014. Photos can be seen in a flickr set called Stav 1:38. Now they have started the third and final phase of construction here with the last bunch of terraced houses.

That time of the year again

Lights in the dark at Lillgården in Tungelsta.

If walls could talk

This abandoned house can be found along Söderbyvägen in Lillgården in Tungelsta. I don't remember when I last snapped a photo of it, if ever, but I am pretty sure it looked a bit different back then. Only time will tell if it will be gone soon and replaced with something newer.

Lillgårdsskolan

Turbinen has started the construction of a new school at Lillgården in Tungelsta. It will be surrounded by the apartment building at Odlargränd that you can see here and by the row-houses and the retirement home also built by the same company a few years ago. The school will be built in a classical style, have around 400 students, and will be operated by Jensen education. The school will open in the Autumn of 2022. I took the photo through a fence at the bus stop yesterday afternoon.

December

I can't remember when I last saw the sun. Looking at the weather forecast, it says gray skies, and when I say gray skies, I mean really really gray skies for the next ten days. This was the scene at Kolonilottsvägen in Lillgården a few afternoons ago.

Sold out!

Brand new row-houses at Kolonilottsvägen in Lillgården. Construction is still ongoing.

Bulldozer&Excavator

Looks like the bulldozer and the excavator are here to stay. They have been parked on the field opposite the new row houses at Lillgården in Tungelsta for quite a while now. It looks a bit like an installation I think.

Sköna Maj

The beauty of May. Home of a local artist at Lillgården in Tungelsta.

A Winter Sunset

Cycling home earlier in the week I stopped for a photo of the colorful sunset at the new row-houses at Lillgården in Tungelsta. I had the 60mm lens on the Canon 77D body, so I had to shoot it as a panorama. This is twelve photos stitched together.

Murky Reflection

Another typical November day. Gray skies and a lot of rain for most of the day. Day 12 in my project 100 Days Of Darkness. These are the row houses at Kolonilottsvägen at Lillgården in Tungelsta.

Flying in Formation

Except for that one bird. Heading south for the Winter. These were just a few of them. Must have been at least a thousand birds in all. Spotted at Lillgåren earlier in the week.
