Behind these trees in Solna is a white house known for its kitchen.

risk management in Gustavsberg

2010-03-31T08:31:00.003+02:00

Snow, icicles, other unidentified falling objects... Watch out! And they're not kidding.

- Beat it! I saw that breadcrumb first!

A feathered hullabaloo in Gustavsberg. We've seen it before.

Back by the strait. The fluffy season gets my mind moving. Can I order dessert, please?

The snow plow is busy elsewhere so eager commuters have been making their own tracks onto the parking lot by the station.

"your guest is as good as mine"

2010-03-19T08:19:00.000+01:00

Hospitality is a great thing. But there has got to be limits. Some barbed wire at the guest harbour, just in case.

The sound insulation from trains rushing by is surprisingly effective here at Almarestäket - a fact no doubt appreciated by those living next to the railway bridge.

Lots of snow by Almarestäket. Just look at that path through the precipitation. In the background is a broader path, the E18 motorway bridge.

Life ain't easy for a snow plow driver. It's hard to know what's hidden underneath all that snow you're supposed to remove swiftly.

No trespassing. The harbour in Gustavsberg has been equipped with this no-nonsense locked door. On the other hand, there's not much of value here at the moment. Also, the ice will allow anyone to simply walk around the door and onto the jetty. Ah well... Come summer it will all make sense again.

time for a different vehicle

2010-03-05T08:05:00.000+01:00

Enough skiing for today around Lake Rudan. Time to head back to the train (or possibly the car).

on the edge in Kallhäll

2010-03-03T08:03:00.000+01:00

Folkets Hus ("the People's House") in Kallhäll offers a bit of everyday excitement. While strolling by, look up and decide for yourself when this heap of snow and ice is going to come crashing down.

No comments about the face? OK, maybe it's just me who can see it? Let's try a heron instead.

Let's face it, sometimes nature does have a sense of humor. As promised, this is a closeup from "nice ice 4". Can you see the face?

This is fascinating and somewhat scary at the same time. I'm going to close in on some parts of this icy waterfall. There are more to it than meets the eye to begin with. Stay tuned....

hibernation in Gustavsberg

An icy harbour can be an overwhelmingly quiet place. It would be interesting to return here in a few months and experience the hectic life around these waters, day and night.

nocturne for Huddinge

2010-02-15T08:15:00.001+01:00

Having stopped by to admire Freja, we might as well do some shopping.

nice ice 3

2010-02-06T17:28:00.006+01:00

This really depicts that ice is just frozen water. With a little imagination you can still see the water pouring down on this lamp. Take away the corrugated sheet metal in the background and this would be astonishing beautiful.

size matters in Handen

2010-02-06T08:06:00.000+01:00

The platform is long and the train is short today. A woman chooses to run on the slippery surface. Speaking of wintry surfaces, there's a lake just behind the trees.

Our old friend Mr Walker could catch a cold on a night like this.

Want to take the rowing boat for a romantic trip on Lötsjön ?

ah, but the rent is cheaper

2010-02-02T08:02:00.000+01:00

Huddinge has a large indoor shopping mall. So what's the big idea here? Selling flowers in the snow droves immediately outside the comfy mall - I just don't get it.
