Human bonds are like laces, some are pretty and fit you well.. the rest of them are speculation... :)
(First try of a texture post porcessing.)
Swedish word of the day. He was arguing with a security guard who didn't feel like letting him through a gate. But that's where I am supposed to go. Nope. Yes it is, no it isn't.
I bike past this place a few times every week. For the last 18 months it has been a bit tricky because of all the construction work. The bike path has moved around on a weekly basis. But from now, the area closer to the lake will be sound-protected by two large buildings. One big storage place that no one really needs. And in the background here, a new parking garage. Soon, (2024), 500 new apartments and a preschool will also be built here, close to Lake Drevviken. For now, there is a boardwalk made from "spänger", and a circular jetty that anyone can use. There is a new BBQ area and quite a few new benches. Also, an outdoor gym. The park area will be finished this year. And just up the road, very close to the popular beach, Hökarängsbadet, many more apartments are also under construction. And as I understand it, there will be a walkway from here along the stream, Forsån, to Lake Magelungen.
Do you remember when I used to look at you like you were the sun and I a little lizard who had to be in your company to relax? I was so head over heels for you... and now, look at us now.
Now I know that you were only a product of my imagination. Now I really begin to look, and it's not that you're not good at all, it's just that you're not good to me anymore. This is the trick of sublimation.

Swedish word of the day. Grindstuga. Gatehouse. Usually a little house at the gate to a bigger property. This little house is the grindstuga to Sanda gård. Front view.
This looks like an old root cellar, but it is the room where the coffins are stored before the burial ceremony at the Forest Chapel at the Woodland cemetery.
Swedish word of the day. Fågelskådare. Birdwatchers. A sighting of an unusual bird at Kungträdgården last week made the park fill up with birdwatchers in no time at all. I asked a friend, and he told me that it was a Ring-billed gull that would normally be in the US, and not in central Stockholm.
Hello my fine Flickr friends!
I processed this really quickly in Picasa and then just added a quick frame and text in CS3. Not sure why part of the frame is cut off? Maybe it's just this computer (I'm at a friend's house) and just wanted to get it up quick. Hmmm... that didn't come out right? ;-)
I'll drop back after I get home later to put a silly story here and answer all the obvious questions about shooting with a Canon. I'm a big boy so let me have it (Jones)!
Oh yeah, I'll add the obvious song as well :-)
Today's word is sour grapes, from the Aesop’s fable The Fox and the Grapes, in which a hungry fox tries to reach grapes hanging on a high vine and when unsuccessful, declares that the grapes are probably sour. Earliest documented use: 1760.

Swedish Winter word of the day. Snow covered. Mailboxes in a row along Södertäljevägen in Tungelsta.
