Swedish word of the day. Betongrabatt. The concrete flower bedding with it's Autumn coloured trees and plants is the only thing still standing at the former bus terminus in Handen. Behind it construction of a new high-rise has begun.
I could also have called this masterpiece 'snow on an old aluminium ladder' but I choose not to do that.
Swedish word of the day. Flerbostadshus. Four L-shaped houses to be built here at Lillgården in Tungelsta.
Walking up a hill again at Bellevueparken, near Brunnsviken. The building among the trees is a museum. Dedicated to the work of the sculptor Carl Eldh, who lived and worked here. This is another panorama. I liked the sky, so for dramatic purposes I decided to underexpose the scene a bit. Nine photos, shot with the Canon 77D, using the 60mm lens.
As far as I know, there are seven outdoor gyms like this one at the Rudan nature reserve, in Haninge. This one is quite popular, there are lots of running trails here so this is a good spot for a workout. And if you wanna combine the workout with a swim, the two lakes are just meters away.

The roots are up out of the ground, and branches broken on trees all around them.
This new bike service station in Handen has been here since early Spring. That is when they repaved the bike path, and made sure that we can all cycle through a wide puddle close to a bus stop after every rainfall, and it sure was a rainy Summer. Great fun. And then everyone just forgot about the service station. So here it is, unused behind the fence. Oh, and long Swedish word of the day, check.
This was the first photo I took yesterday. Orange peel by the side of the bike path, across the road from the burned down school at Beateberg. So Swedish word of the day, yesterday, was Apelsinskal. Orange peel.
Swedish word of the day. Kö. Queue. The Spring sunshine made an appearance, and just like that a queue formed with people craving something sweet. Or warm.
Personal, and Swedish word of the day. Uppförsbacke. Uphill climb. A woman walking up to the top of the Meditation Hill at Skogskyrkogården, still trying to fix the broadband issue, so uploadinga few photos via the smartphone.
It was "mösspåtagning" in Stockholm yesterday.Student cap day. The city was filled with soon to graduate secondary school students drinking beer all day long. They continued to do that for the rest of the day, evening and night. Here they are at Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm. I read a news report last night where local police asked the parents to pick up their drunk kids, so it sounds like a day to remember!
Swedish word of the day. Utsikt. The view towards Långholmen and Marieberg, from Skinnarviksberget on Södermalm.
Swedish bone breaking word of the day. Iscykling. Ice cycling. Handen, earlier today. No Winter maintenance would also work as a word of the day here.
Swedish word of the day. Affisch. Poster. From a store in the old town. The last time I took a photo here, they used it on their website, with my permission of course.
The Miriam Webster Online word for January 1...EMIGRATE...to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere.
My family and my husband's family emigrated from Europe and came through Ellis Island. I have pictures from both families included in the one collage though our families came from different areas of Europe.
This is a collage of family members who emigrated, or had their children emigrate...which can be traumatic too. The map is of old Hungary, the home is the old homestead, the flag of Hungary, the genealogy chart of part of the family.

Swedish word of the day. Folkvalda. Anna Sehlin from the Left Party flirting with the photographer. The woman to the left is Aida Hadžialić from the Social Democratic Party. The dude behind them is Gabriel Kroon from SD. Snapped during a political event at Sergels torg a few days before the general election.

Swedish word of the day. Fontän. After a suggestion from Camilla Björkander who works with human geography, the municipality made this fountain at the upper lake in the Rudan nature reserve. There are lights attached to the fountain, so it looks a bit cooler when it's dark.
Swedish word of the day. Släpvagn. Trailer. With available seating. Eating, drinking and watching the cars drive by.
Tricky to pronounce Swedish word of the day if you don't speak the local lingo. Tuggummiautomat. Gumball machine. Even trickier with your mouth filled with bubble gum of course. I made a pit stop at my barber's place today. The saloon is called Olympiasalongen and can be found at Åbyplan in Västerhaninge. The barber is Mikael Lindström, who took over the saloon after his dad retired many years ago now. I have cut my hair here since the mid 1980s. Mikael have remodelled the place to look like a 1950s barber shop, and there's always something new (or vintage), to check out, and today it was this gumball machine.

Swedish word of the day. Skepp. Djurgårdshamnen. Forcing myself to just take a photo and not caring if I don't get the entire ship in the shot.
