This was a big field at Lillgården a few years ago. Now it is a building site with the new road to and from Lillgården going through it. I have showed you photos from here a couple of times. This big crane arrived last week so I'm guessing it will be another Winter with a lot of construction here as Turbinen plans to build a hundred or so apartments here.

The last "plankorsning",(railroad crossing), in Tungelsta is history now. Replaced with an underpass along the Nynäsbanan, so if you want to continue down Karlsrovägen you need to turn right here, go through the underpass and then drive on a new stretch of road that will connect you with the old road in a few hundred meters. The traffic opened on the second rail track late last year but there are still a lot of work left nearer the commuter station.

From -20C yesterday to more snow and -5C today. This is a horse farm at Söderbyvägen in Tungelsta. As I took the photo I could hear a helicopte. a little later two police vehicles drove past me. Looks like it was an accident on the commuter railroad just south of Tungelsta.

It started to snow last night. By midnight we had the first power outage of the year. By morning everything was white. Spotted this bike on my walk through a snowy Tungelsta a couple of hours ago.

It's nice when you can shoot a photo or two without leaving the house. I took this snap from the veranda a few days ago. I guess the colorful sunsets is one good thing this time of the year.

Three candid Winter snaps from Tungelsta. Lots of 4-wheelers out on the roads this time of the year, especially on weekends. You don't see too many cyclists but they are out there as are the joggers.

Two Winter photos with a difference. I decided to try and shoot a few abstract and minimalistic photos on a recent photo promenade around Tungelsta. I took these photos at the commuter station. It is a busy building site at the moment so there's lots to look at. At least if you are a photographer.

The snowiest day for over a century. That sounds like fun doesn't it? That's what we had around Stockholm yesterday. People will remember this day for a very long time, although they probably want to forget all about it. We got around 40 centimetre of snow which was 40cm too much for everyone. I have read countless reports about people being stuck out on the roads for ten hours, schools had to close early as the bus service was cancelled. Trucks without Winter tires blocking roads everywhere, people skiing on the streets in the capitol, the stories just keeps coming. So to calm everyone down a bit here is the sunset from yesterday afternoon. You can see this photo and more snow related snaps at SvD.

Mateusz Tuszynski who works at Blomorado in Tungelsta keeping himself warm with the help of the snow blower. Heavy snowfall overnight so this is probably the best workout routine of the day if you have to be outdoors. Chaos everywhere today. Traffic at a standstill around Stockholm. Everyone completely surprised by the winter weather. More info in English at The Local.

-3C when I took this snap of the commuter station in Tungelsta earlier today. Still a lot of work until that second rail-track will be operational. A rail-road switch malfunctioned in Stockholm yesterday morning. My brothers commute home last evening took two hours. He was not amused, but then again he flew to Athens this morning and will work from there for a week. No snow problem there I think.

The last act to play at the rock festival in Tungelsta was a new band for me. Badge. I had some trouble describing their intensive performance and unique musical style, but I found a quote from Madcap Music Review: Badge is a furious mix of Mississippi Delta Blues, Led Zeppelin, and Psychobilly. One of those bands that are best live. At night. Outdoors, on a Summer evening and we got all that so it was a great finale of the festival. Enjoy the slideshow!

Ariving home to Tungelsta on one of those (rare), warm Summer days recently I noticed a girl shooting selfies with her smart-phone outside a restaurant. I rode over on my bike, parked it and informed her that I had a better camera and that I could shoot a bunch of portraits of her if she wanted me to. Meet Tatiana. From Västerås. Possibly a future supermodel, so remember where you saw her first! If that dream doesn't come true she is thinking about a career as a flight attendant. After the short photo shoot on the lawn I gave her my card, she gave me a hug and then she and her three friends walked over to the bus stop as they were on their way to the big Pride parade in Stockholm. After starting the slideshow press the four arrows to the left for a full screen view.

The commuter station in Tungelsta will get a face lift, again. The train service to Stockholm and Nynäshamn stopped one week ago and this is how the platform looks today. When they are done it will look very different compared with today. Illustration here.

Back in February I showed you a photo of what will be a preschool and a retirement home at Lillgården in Tungelsta. This is how the building site looks today. Lots of apartments as well when they are done here in a years time or so. I will post updates every now and then.

The farmhouse (Mangårdsbyggnad), at Hagaberg in Tungelsta was built in 2002 in a style that has been used for hundreds of years in the North of Sweden. This is a little horse farm a few kilometers from where I live.

This was the scene at the greenhouse in the park in Tungelsta this morning. A fresh coat of snow covered the lawn.
