Weekend Update

Weekend Update
I took this photo two days ago. It was a horrible day. Weather vice. -3C. Not the best weather for a bike ride, but I needed to get out of the house. This is a bus stop at Håga, between Tungelsta and Västerhaninge. There is an industrial park here, a pizzeria and a few houses. And the odd vandals, by the looks of it.

Two bridges

Weather Report Bron
Two more mist photos. Both showing pedestrian bridges along Nederstaleden, (a straight), in Västerhaninge. It was one of those days, really. Mist, mist and more mist. The first bridge is close to the commuter station and is mostly used by people going to and from the station, and the shopping center. The second bridge is a few hundred meters to the soutn and it is new. Well, not really, but as I remember photographing it when it was being constructed it counts as new in my head. From where I shot it, it will take you first to the pet cemetery, in a birch forest, and then to the Håga industrial park. But before you get to the industries you will walk by a place where I shoot Spring flowers most every year.

A jogger or a runner?

Pizzeria Håga

Pizzeria Håga
Pizza place at Håga, near the industrial park. Never tried it. Shot a few days ago for my project 100 Days Of Darkness.

Walking the Earth

Walking the Earth
I read an article yesterday about a man, Eric who had walked around the planet. Sort of. For the last decade, he had walked the same promenade every day year-round in the picturesque Hagaparken. No matter the weather. He was celebrated yesterday with flowers and cake. This man has done the same. His daily walk takes him from Tungelsta to the retirement home in Västerhaninge where his wife lives, and then home again. I don't know his name but we often stop for a chat. He is always very positive and has told me quite a few stories over the years. I guess I should buy him coffee one day. And cake.

The ultimate sign of Spring

Blåsippa Blåsippa Blåsippa Blåsippa
The ultimate sign of Spring for me is the "blåsippa". So when I biked past something blue by the side of the bike path at Håga a couple of days ago I parked the bike and spent the next ten minutes crawling around on all four shooting macro images like a crazy person.

Bridge to nowhere

Bridge to nowhere
The bridge across the railroad at Håga in Västerhaninge will never win an architectural award.

When I see birches bend to left and right...

When I see birches bend to left and right...
That famous poem works well here I think. A tiny birch forest at Håga in Västerhaninge, photographed earlier in the week on a gloomy December day.

A Changing Perspective

A Changing Perspective
These barrels at the Greif factory at Håga in Västerhaninge are fun to shoot as they almost every time give you an optical illusion to look at. To me it looks like the perspective changes every few seconds.

Glenn's Construction Service

GlennS Byggservice
Looks like Glenn could be in financial difficulties. Or at least in need of a new car to his business GlennS Byggservice. Found at the Håga industrial area yesterday.

Glad to be alive

Glad to be alive
Last summer Leffe was on his way home to Sorunda on the Harley, when he collided with a moose. He was airlifted to hospital. He broke fifteen bones and was on morphine for three weeks. Since then I have met him four or five times. This last winter he went skiing in Switzerland. He still have a few problems, but he is back using both his Harley and his bicycle. He is a marathon runner, very fit and closing in on 70 years young.

December vs. October

Bike Path

Bike Path

Normally I am pretty good at re-shooting any scene. But this time around I missed a bit. This is a newly pawed walkway/bike path at Håga in Västerhaninge. I was going to make a Different seasons diptych, but I shot the December photo from a slightly different angle so that didn't work. If and when it snows I will go back for another try.

Silver Birch Forest

The Pet Cemetery

There is something special with a misty forest. I pass by this silver birch forest almost every day, and will often stop for a few photos. It is located at Håga in Västerhaninge. It is used as a pet cemetery. Sadly earlier this year a pedestrian bridge were constructed here, so the area has changed a bit, but most of the trees are still here. The clever people that run the UTATA front page liked this photo so you can also see it there and read a few words written by Debra.
