It's snowing again

It's snowing again!

The view from a window on the second floor here at Bergdalen in Tungelsta this afternoon. It started to snow one hour ago. The yellow house on Kvarnvägen (Mill Road), is known as The Rose Garden. 100 years ago a gardener called Gustav Andersson bought some land there. He was followed by my great grandfather who bought the property across the road, from where I shot this photo. Same place a little greener from May 2008. The greenhouses on that property are long gone. Replaced by apartments and a retirement home.

Fixing the roof

Fixing the roof

Workers preparing to lay new terracotta roof tiles at Ros-Anders place. One hundred years ago the gardener Gustaf Andersson (he specialised in roses), bought the land here between Kvarnvägen and Södertäljevägen (just across the road from where my great grandfather built his greenhouses), and built this house and set up his greenhouse business. Later his sons, Gustaf and Nils took over the company and it was in operation until the mid 80ths. The green and blue rooftops are from the residential area Rosgården, built where once the greenhouses stood. Shot this from the hill at Bergdalen.
