Look at the views!

Lake Sickla Utsiktsplats Johanneshov The Globe Arena Björkhagen Höghus Felvänd Sickla Have a seat Available Seating Tunnelbanestation Högdalstoppen Green again Danviksklippan Hello
A second batch of photos from my latest walk up to the top of the Hammarbybacken ski hill, and then down again, using the new stairs. We start with a panorama over Lake Sickla. There are a number of benches on the hill where you can sit down for a bit and take in all the different views. The second shot looks at Södra Hammarbyhamnen and across the water Norra Hammarbyhamnen, both at Hammarby sjöstad. The a panorama with the two sport venues, the globe arena and 3Arena. Then some Spring colors looking towards Björkhagen and an apartment building from the 1950s. I sat down on the comfy wooden bench that faces the wrong way if you ask me, although the skiers using it during the Winter would probably disagree. Then another Sickla panorama, because why not. More benches, this time with tables. The blue apartment building dates back to when the suburbs were built and with them the metro, which we call Tunnelbanan. There are three man-made hills at Högdalen. They date back to the 1950s. There used to be alpine skiing there up until the late 1970s. Today popular with skateboarders and Frisbee golf enthusiasts. Next some Spring yellow as we look towards Södermalm. The second last photo shows apartment building at the Danvik rock. See you tomorrow!

The graffiti wall

Farstaväggen Farstaväggen Farstaväggen Graffiti panorama
I bike past this legal graffiti wall every time I ride to and from Stockholm, well almost every time, there are other options, but this is the main bike path that I use. It is just a few hundred meters after the beach at Hökarängsbadet where I often stop for photos, year round. And if I see something I like here I always stop for a photo.

Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia

Déplacé-e-s Valeriia Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia Valeriia
Have you ever tried shooting a big panorama on a square where like a hundred people are trying to unveil a massive photograph of a refugee girl from Ukraine? Me neither until I did just that at Sergels torg a couple of days ago. Part of the Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia by the artist JR. He has travelled the world for several years with these big photos of refugees from different countries. As per usual when it comes to me, I had no previous knowledge that this event would happen, I just walked right into it. And as I took the top photo with my mirrorless Canon R, I could hear the security guards behind me informing each other with what they knew about what was happening, so I decided to stick around for a minute or two. Anywho, the second photo here is a 12 photo panorama shot with my 60mm lens on the old Canon 77D and then stitched together and cropped a bit. The third photo is a classic wide panorama. It is six photos stitched together, photographed the easy way from left to right as I hoped that the people taking part in the project would be standing still for a while. In the fourth photo we can see the artist JR, he is the guy using the megaphone. And in the fifth photo we can see a part of the photo with Valeriia's face.Looks like a problem displaying the third photo in my post, trying to fix that.

Is there anybody out there?

Empty Beach Vattenrutschkana Ten Meter Tower Is there anybody out there?
Last Sunday I took a longish bike ride to Nynäshamn, the municipality south of Haninge. My first stop after 90 minutes on the bike was the beach at Nickstabadet. It was a fantastic morning. The sun was shining from a blue sky. Arriving at the beach I was the only one there which is rather unusual as it was a fine Summer day.

Smedstugan

Autumn Colors Smedstugan
After a week in bed with the flu I have been out on the bike twice to document Autumn. First photo here shows the old road towards Fors. Second photo is a panorama made from four photos taken with the new zoom lens. It shows a cottage at Fors, sometimes refereed to as Smedstugan. It has an unusual roof design, unfortunately you can't see that detail on the panorama as the birch tree is in the way. There's another house just behind it, Gästgiveriet, where for many years a photographer lived. Her name was Sigrid Numan and it is thanks to her that there are lots of photos from this part of Haninge from the time around the second world war. Her ICA camera from 1926 has been donated to the local historical association and can be seen at Tingshuset in Västerhaninge. Sigrid's husband Ragnar, was a bookbinder and he worked from this building. Larger version for Lowell at flickr. More facts about Fors at Haninge.org here: Fors.

Le Quattro Stagioni

De Fyra Årstiderna De Fyra Årstiderna
Two very different photos. Showing the new housing area behind the Nödesta farm at Nedersta in Västerhaninge. It is called De Fyra Årstiderna, or Le Quattro Stagione, supposedly a new living concept if you want to believe the builder, and it is already sold out! The different parts are called Vårkanten, Sommargården, Höststigen och Vintergatan. Took the first photo with the new zoom lens, and was very lucky with the light. Took the second photo the previous day from the forest behind the new housing area. It is a panorama made from six photos shot with the nifty fifty lens.

Norrby gärde

Roller Norrby Gärde Trafikplats
The big grassy field at Norrby in Handen. Close to the motorway to Stockholm, road 73, Nynäsvägen. More of a marsh really, nothing on it except for a runestone that I have showed you before. But that will change now with the construction of a new road, bike path and more. Trafikplats (traffic junction), Handen will change the landscape a bit with two new big roundabouts, one pretty much where i was standing when I took these photos. If you want to see how it might look when they are done, press here.

A visit to the national park

Just Chillin' Bird Tower Panorama Mule
Earlier in the week, before the cold took hold of me, I visited the Tyresta national park. I walked over to the newish bird tower, for a bit of bird spotting. All I could report in the visitors log was Canada Goose and a few different types of ducks. To get to the tower you have to walk through a muddy pasture filled with chillin' cows. I did another stop at a horse pasture and took a close-up of a "mule", or snout as it is called in English. For a larger view of the panorama head over to flickr. All the animals lives in the working farm that you can see to the left in the panorama.

Preschool and Retirement Home

The new preschool The Preschool
An update from the building site at Lillgården in Tungelsta. One month ago it was just a wall, today they are three stories up. The field you can see on the panorama will be filled with row houses and apartments when they are done. I took these photos a few days ago and much of the snow have now melted.

Apartment Buildings

New Apartments Stora Arken
The new apartment buildings at Stora Arken in Handen are taking shape. Here is another update. The last time I showed you this was in July. Shot the panorama with the pancake lens and used panorama corrector as a finishing touch. The building to the far left was constructed in 2006. Since then a new neighbourhood has been established here, and the buildings to the far right are the last ones to be built. There are more houses behind the ones you see here. I have a flickr set with more photos in case you are interested.

Seen any birds ?

See Any Birds? Bird Tower The view from the new bird tower at the wetland in the Tyresta National Park. It was my first visit to the tower. I was hoping to get a few snaps of some interesting birds, but I counted zero (0), birds. Better luck next time I guess. But the panorama came out nicely. Seventeen photos stitched together. Shot in the portrait mode (upright), using the pancake lens. To see the original sized version press here.

That Old Tree

That Old Tree Välstapanorama
One or two Summer-like evenings so far this year. This was one of them, a couple of days ago. The old tree and my shadow during the sunset. I forgot about the panorama, but have now added it to the post. Larger version here.

New Year's Resolution?

Working Out New year's resolution working out?
I'm guessing that working out regularly at a gym is on many peoples New Year's Resolution list at the moment. My Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens found two of them today, in Handen at the S.A.T.S gym. Second photo is a three photo panorama.

Twas the day before Christmas

Let us in! Systembolaget
Twas the day before Christmas (we celebrate on the 24th), and these happy people were queuing outside the Systembolaget in Västerhaninge, waiting for the chance to queue a bit more inside. Systembolaget is the government owned chain of liquor stores, and the only (legal), place where you can shop alcoholic beverages. Skål!
