This is the avenue leading to a place famous for a very tasteful apple called Åkerö, named after the mansion that produced it. I payed it a visit today.

This is a place in my town where you can buy your own powerplant. Or rent one for what you need for your house or business. It is a place for producing Green Power. They have built a lot of new ones this summer. The red one, among others, is new. Seems to be some kind of wind power plant.

I´m ashamed

Recycling bins

I am ashamed! I was passing by our recycling site today. It has turned into a dumping ground for trash lately.
In my part of the town a lot of people from different parts of the world lives. Lots of them are refugees. Many are Muslims and comes from Somalia. Others comes from different parts of disturbed areas in the Middle East and other places. And others, like me, are Swedish of course.
As far as I know we have all lived here for years. No new arrivals in the area. All of us knows the rules. There is NO excuse whatsoever for the recycling area to look like this!

Taxinge Castle

Click to enlarge NF Photo 130707 at Taxinge Castle

Last week we were, at last, able to visit Taxinge Castle. My car that had been broken for the last couple of weeks finally is repaired. Now my daughter, my grandson, my sister and me went to finally enjoy the Taxinge Castle café. "In the "Cake Castle", you can get a taste of northern Europe's largest cake buffet." Well, I´m not sure about that, but they surely have the biggest cakes ever.

Before we went to the café we strolled around the area for a while. Enjoying some chicks, pigs and horses.

How to shot a chicken.

The chicken!

In line for the cake buffét
We usually buy different varieties, cut them in half, and share them between us. That way we get to taste more varieties.

They have a nice little garden you can enjoy and the Lake Mälaren below. Lots of people was there swimming and having fun that day.

I want to the little lake this afternoon to get some sun on my body. Have to get used to it as I am going away in august and need some tan before that. I also brought my new, little, camera and had some fun with it. It is an OLYMPUS and it can take underwater shots. Which I plan to do when I am away. Here I tried the Mosaic filter.

Midsummer Celebration

Last Friday we celebrated Midsummer. Earlier it was on the summer solstice day but they moved Midsummer´s Eve to the closest Friday. We celebrate with a flower decorated pole, maypole, and people is dancing around it. It is special songs with movements to the words. Some people think it is fun. My daughter hated it when she was a child. But becoming a mom she suddenly taught her own children the moves. Nowadays no one is doing it. I only went to take some shots for the blog and to get a little sunshine before dinner. There are special routines for food and drink as well.

Midsummer for Dummies. Learn the rules!

Well, I guess this one will become a butterfly eventually. But in this state I have no knowledge of which one. And I guess I will never know. But it looked rather nice where it sat on a small rose bush. .

Yes, this is at the dentist. It is the WC and I usually visit before leaving the dentist when I´m done. I always liked this and the reflection in the litterbin is quite nice. Would not mind having those tiles and the little cabinet at home.
