Horrible weather yesterday. Dark and gloomy, windy and rainy. Not the best photography weather. But despite that I jumped on the bike and headed out for a spin. I tried my best in between the rain showers to get a few colorful Autumn photos, but it wasn't easy. I made one pit-stop at Eskilsparken in Handen and that's where I took this photo. Part of a group of sculptures made by PYE Engström. It is called Fåglarna i Handen. The birds in Handen, Or the birds in the hand. And despite not being birds these animals are part of the sculpture group. And just as I left the park another photographer walked in and started shooting the same sculpture.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. Well maybe not, but I was at the park in Handen yesterday when I heard something flying over my head. A six winged flying contraption, or maybe a drone, not really sure what it should be called. Had a chat with the guy who controlled it. A real geek. He had bought in in Thailand. It had six motors, a very impressive camera set-up, he explained all the technical facts and we also discussed all the permits you need to have if you want to use this commercially. He could fly it up to 100 meters and showed a few photos from above Handen, Jordbro and Lake Rudan.

The park workers in Haninge are angry today. Someone is stealing the plants in the Eskil's park, and now they want the thief to return them. Good luck with that.

Here is a people collage and a slideshow with all my photos from the Haninge Festival. A two-day event that X-Cons Haninge arranged in a park in Handen. I visited on day two. During my stay the weather was great. Performing was a Michael Jackson imitator. He was followed by Mikael "The Prince" Trolin (whom you have met on this blog before)then came a few local Hip hop acts from Jordbro. The festival was focusing on the kids and one popular event was the Graffiti area where local talent were busy creating their own art. I talked to a few politicians and you can see one or two of them in the slideshow. The festival continued for five hours after I left so I probably missed a few fun performances.
