Too many branches

Seven years is quite a while in the blogging world. And during those years most of my photographing enterprise have grown wild. Time to cut some branches. I have some new photo enterprises going on and will put my endeavour in those from now on.

Cutting branches

Demolition

A building connected with my family history is soon to be transformed into parking lots. My daddy worked at the rail yard for some years and we often went down to the staff dressing rooms to have a shower. Wether we needed it or not. We had only a zinc bowl in the kitchen at home in those days. Before my daddy worked at the rail yard he was at the locomotive stable. Last weekend we returned to both places to have som pics.

Visiting my hometown

Last weekend I went home to visit my parents. I wanted to investigate more of their old negatives for a book I am working on and give them some PC support. I managed to do some photographing as well.

Daddy checked out some information from an old correspondence course in photography

Birthday

Quite naturally, my father is twenty years ahead of me. All the time! I never seem to catch up. The other weekend I went home to celebrate him. I gave him a bunch of Tri-X and Portra for his Rolleiflex. I think they will last until Fathers Day at least. Then he will get more. I have become his main film supplier since the only photo shop in town barely sell any film at all.

Ascension Day

I spent Ascension Day and the following weekend at my parents new home in Åmål. It was about eight months since.

Coffe at the balcony. Their eagle eyes keep track of all that happens in the neighborhood.

From a walk in city center

I always make my way to the railway museum to find what's new.

Going home on rail

All good things come to an end. All travels end up at home. I took a direct train from Åmål to Stockholm with a short intermission in Karlstad. Just had to get out of the train and take some pics. I usually travel 1st class because of comfort and tranquility.
