Swedish word of the day. Påskräkmacka. Probably only used by me, and I will enjoy eat in now! Just added this photo to the map ant it looks like Flickr have updated the map this morning.
Swedish word of the day. Vårskugga. Spring shadow. My first outdoor "fika" of the year. 10C yesterday, but much warmer in the corner where I enjoyed my coffee.
At night, the people could see the bonfires burning on the fields. During those nights, it was said that treasures were hidden under the fires. The bonfires were known as "vredeseldar", the fires of rage. Every Christmas Day, a vredeseld would burn at Klem's Hill, and no one dared go there. One year, a peasant from Välsta walked over with a steel ax in his hand. He saw a mound, and in it, he could see two dogs. Fires were burning from their mouths. Under their paws, he saw items of silver. That scared the peasant, who threw his steel ax into the fire. The fire grew bigger and the peasant ran home and told the story. That was a big mistake because you should always sleep one night before telling such a story. The peasant fell ill, but the steel thrown into the fire stopped it from burning ever again at Klem's Hill.
Might do a new project with photos from Götgatsbacken. People. Stores. Shops. Restaurants. Pubs, and more.
Swedish word of the day. Fågelunge. Juvenile bird. The parents were as you can guess busy delivering food non-stop as the little bird joined me on the pier from where we took in the view together.
