Hagaberg
The farmhouse (Mangårdsbyggnad), at Hagaberg in Tungelsta was built in 2002 in a style that has been used for hundreds of years in the North of Sweden. This is a little horse farm a few kilometers from where I live.

It's Dandelion Season
Dandelion season at the little horse farm between Västerhaninge and the Bronze Age burial ground in Jordbro. Normally the pasture is open for the horses but as it was empty I walked in for a few photos. Back in the late 1970s my mother and an uncle used to make wine from Dandelion. It was illegal back then. They used my grandparents basement and I can confess to "removing" quite a few bottles during my teenage years, and I can also say that I will never ever drink that stuff again.

Lunch in the pasture
The Björklund horse farm is situated near the iron Age grave field, and the Gullringskärret nature reserve. The only way to get to the farm is to take the Viking Era gravel road from Västerhaninge. The road ends at the farm and you can only continue on foot or on bicycle. Heading home recently I stopped at the pasture when I noticed a few horses eating dandelions. It was a very peaceful scene and all I could hear was bird song. I think this photo works well for the theme day which is Tranquility. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Winter Days
I think that Gråbergsvägen has to be one of the shortest roads in Tungelsta. With two, or if it is three houses. This is one of them. A little horse farm that always looks good on a photo, as proven with this diptych. The blue sky version is from three days ago when we had a very cold day. The right hand side shows the place back in November of last year when the first snow-fall of the season happened. Sadly there were no horses out in the pasture on either of those two visits. But in one of the other houses here you will find the very photogenic Cookie the Peacock.

Winter at Ängshagen
On a recent promenade I stopped at Ängshagen along Vädersjövägen for a photo. It is an old farm close to where my mother grew up. Today it is a horse farm. Seven years ago I took a photo of a very old shed here,PRESS HERE to see that photo. Sadly the last two winters was too much for that building as you can see on my second photo.

Camilla & Watergate
This is Camilla on her horse Watergate. Probably the first horse I have seen named after a big scandal! I met them at Gullringskärret in Jordbro a while back. Camilla who is twenty two works as a waitress, and lives with her parents and grandfather at the nearby Björklund Horse farm. Camilla has lived there nearly all her life. The family bought the place some seventeen years ago. And as you can guess Camilla's big interest is horses. I have previously met her dad and I have also visited the farm so if you would like to see a few photos from Björklund check out the slideshow below.

Middle Farm
As I came down the gravel road towards Stadsberga, I stopped and shot some photos that I used for a great panorama. This is three of those photos. This is Mellangården, a horse farm run by the Skärbäck family. Their stable is just to the right and you can see it on the panorama. Bigger photo.

♥ I've got a shexy smile ♥
This is Gæi. An Icelandic horse that I met at the Västergården horse farm the other day. A real poser me thinks. The farm is located in a rural village in österhaninge called Stadsberga. Bigger photo.

Modern Day Rune stone
Do you have your own Runestone? Didn't think so. Lotta and her family at Västergården horse farm in the little rural village of Stadsberga does. The inscription reads Lotta o Joachim o Therese o Richard, alla Carlsund, lät resa sten o bygga hus på egen mark. Kalle rista. Which translates to Lotta, Joachim, Therese and Richard, all Carlsund, had the stone raised and the house built on their own land, Kalle did the inscription. Kalle is Kalle Runristare. There are Icelandic horses at the farm I will show you more photos later in the week.Bigger photo.

Stadsberga
This is Stadsberga, a small rural village in Österhaninge. Surrounded by history. There are ancient grave fields and rune stones here and there. It's close to Årsta Castle, Årsta Säteri, Alvsta, Ormsta, and many other interesting places that I have documented over the years. Bigger photo.

Alvstatorp
Situated in a beautiful landscape, this is Alvstatorp. Surrounded by open fields and forested hill sides, Alvsta has been populated since the Bronze Age. Six hundred years ago it was called Aluastrom and later Alfsta. There are grave fields (ättehögar) nearby where it is believed the original village once stood. In the forest between Alvsta and Ormsta you will find a rune stone. The gravel road you can see here goes from Alvsta to Årsta Säteri and it dates back many centuries. Bigger photo.

Horse Farm
Do you like horses? Bigger photo. Don't mind living in a forest with nature and a little lake as the next door neighbour? Well this is your lucky day. I took a bike ride through a few places like that the other day. This is Dåntorps Hästgård (horse farm), in Dåntorp. Close to lake Öran at Riddartorp. Havent been to the lake for years. Many new houses in this area over the last years. A good place if you like horses and don't mind the gravel road. You enter Dåntorp from a small road at the Jordbro industrial area or, like I did from Lida, between Tungelsta and Västerhaninge.

Santa is dead
I read in the paper that Santa was missing. No one had seen him for a couple of days. I decided to track him down. Today I'm sad to report that he could be dead. After a long search I found what looks to be Santa on a roof in Fors, Sweden.
I zoomed in for a better look. It looks like he has been up there for a few days at least.

Spring at Fors
I often go back and photograph the changing seasons. This is the spring version of the old farm at Fors. The red building is an old mill turned into a private residence. And here is the winter version:
