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

I usually go to check the status at the railroad museum when I'm home. This time I found a "brand new" loco on service. I just can't get enough of these wonderful mechanical machines. Happily existing without batteries and electronics.

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.
