October Drizzle
Posted by Martin R on October 25, 2009 October drizzle can be quite photogenic in my part of the world. Here’s a view from the bridge to Fisksätra holme. (I just discovered Pixlr, an excellent free on-line image editor that runs in your browser.)

Swiss Auto Graveyard
Posted by Martin R on August 25, 2009 From Aard regular CCBC, a heritage management conundrum to ponder. This is a curious situation that I heard about on metafilter.com. I have included some of the links. Near Kaufdorf, Switzerland there is an auto junkyard that was in use from the 1930s to 1970. It has become overgrown with various forest flora and people…

Posted by Martin R on August 24, 2009 [More blog entries about Sweden, photography, manor; Närke, Askersund, foto, herrgård.] My part-time employers, the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, sometimes receive rather hefty donations. This is how they came to own Stjernsund manor near Askersund in the province of Närke / Nericia. (Don’t confuse it with Christopher Polhem’s early industrial centre Stjärnsund in Dalecarlia.)…

Tuscan Photographs
Posted by Martin R on July 4, 2008 I’ve put some pix from my recent trip to Tuscany in Italy on-line. In other news, my wife has suggested a brilliant and radical re-interpretation of the Swedish 70s dansband pop hit “Margareta”, by Sten & Stanley. Comprehensible only to speakers of Scandy, I’m afraid.
Snakes and Saints and Ants
Posted by Martin R on June 26, 2008 Got up early this morning, six thirty, and slipped out for an hour’s walk. The sun was already pretty high but still veiled in mist. I walked past vineyards and olive groves toward a farmhouse until yapping guard dogs made me turn on my heel, and then I left the road. The area is heavily…
