Skywatch Friday: Pershyttan window

Ulrika — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 21:15:19 +0000

The blue September sky reflected in the window of a building in the old mining village of Pershyttan in Bergslagen, where ore was mined and turned into iron from the 1300’s until 1953.

If you’d like to see some more photos from Pershyttan, there are some in my other blog.

(Sadly I didn’t notice at the time I took the photo that I cut the upper egde of the window off. Oh well.)

Everyday life: Nature

The forest.

Safe and scary.
Silent and full of sounds.

You can’t help but wonder if the trolls are in there somewhere, hidden among the trees. Watching you.

My World Tuesday

Walking in my favorite forest in my home village Ställberg, Västmanland, together with my youngest son and my dog.

I love the fact that in Sweden, anyone can go into any forest and just talk a walk or pick berries and mushrooms or camp or have a swim in a lake. Doesn’t matter who owns the land.

For more My World participants, go here!

Everyday life: A typical house in my village/town

Ulrika — Mon, 10 May 2010 05:22:02 +0000

An old house in Ställberg, Västmanland.
Not entirely sure this is so typical for the village, but it is typical for this area, at least.

The photo isn’t very good – I shot it through the window of a car as we were passing by, but I really like this house so here it is anyway.

For the theme “A typical house in my village/town” from
