Fiskars

Fiskars is about 10 km from Billnäs and  it is a very popular with summer visitors. Here are pictures from this lovely town I visit at least once a year.

Small town of Billnäs

I have visited several the picturesque villages this summer, this is one of them. There is magic in these in the old houses and buildings. The scenary is beautiful with the old trees and plants grrowing. Often they are located near to a river or a lake. These places are busy during summer season, only to fall asleep for winter, and wake up to a new season in the spring.

Black and White Wednesday ~ old house

This house is very old.
Yet, it stands so gracefully.
If the walls could only talk.
I bet they’d have a lot to say.

It holds a lot of memories,
buried deep inside.
It seems to stand with attitude,
as if it carries pride.

It stands upon the foundation,
seeming to claim the land.
Refusing to wither from age
with a little help from my man.

Not one room, is a favorite,
each displays a special touch.
It might be old but, we don’t mind.
We love it very much.

After rain

I am trying very hard to find something positive about our summer weather this year. Honestly, It is  so, so hard, it has been cold (+12C )and it has been raining most of the time. BUT on the positive side you might get few good drop pics. I am rather happy with these…

One Word Photo Challenge: Maroon

Maroon, so hard to find even if an elegant color. Then I  looked out my window – this plant has maroon leaves

I find these kind of roads and building very appealing.

Old rundown places look so good in photos, much better than they do when looking at them. All photos can be enlarged by a click.
