Picture and some text from my trip up north in Sweden.

I’ve been away a few days with my parents
for a vaccation to our summer cottage
up north in Sweden, Hälsingland.
I promissed Montfort to take some pictures
so he could see how it looks like there
and I though maybe someone more here would like to see them.

A view near our house.

Our summer cottage.

I’m making a birthday-cake to my father,
it was his 70ths birthday.

The cake, yummy.

My father wants to start on the cake.

My mother is trying it, and she survived.:wink:

An old firedepartment, that of course doesn’t work now.:slight_smile:

One day my father and I took the car a bit over where
we live there to take some view-pictures,
then suddenly I saw bears on the road.
that was so cool, especially since we where in the car.
There is a lot of bears around there,
but I haven’t seen one before.
it was a grown-up and 3 cubs.
And I got them on picture,
but it’s not a cloose picture,
but they are there.
Check them.

I zoomed in the bears.

A view from that “bear day”.

Me, selftaken.

My father is choping wood.

My dog, Zack, has stolen a wood from him.

Voxnan, a stream near us.

The sun is going down,
and it’s not getting 100% dark there now.
It’s a bit light all night.
Selene, my parents dog
She used to be mine too,
but she’s so found of my father,
that I desided she could live with them.

This place is very special to me,
I’ve been there on vaccations and so
all my life.
My mother is borned in that house.
It has 2 apartments,
and about 60 year back one of them was a school.
But now, we own one
and the others is owned by my mothers sister and family.

That’s it.

Can you tell that we’re just Lapping this up?

Great pictures, Anniz! The dogs are adorable, and Sweden looks beautiful! (And to think I probably wouldn’t even notice if I were there, being fixated on the Swedish women)

Anniz, I trust you won’t mind if I hijack this thread to tell you that I always enjoy your posts to the boards. Montfort is a very fortunate guy. Good luck to both of you!

It’s beautiful, Anniz. It reminds me a lot of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. It is so peaceful in the northern forests.

That looks like wonderful area, beautiful. Looks like a wonderful vacation/trip to be able to have every year!

Wowzer. Beautiful pictures.

Except for the firehouse, every picture looks exactly like Alaska. Even the bears. I also happened to see a bear today from my neighbor’s back yard.

Thanks everyone that liked the pictures.
it’s only my pleasure to show them.:slight_smile:

Cool that it looked like Alaska
and a bit like northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.

And, yes, ** Whammo**, it’s wounderful
to have this place to go too.
We have only one neighbour there
and then it’s a field and just wood around us.

DRY, you’re a sweetie, thanks.
My very best wishes to you.

Very nice pics. The landscape pics could be made into great postcards. You’re lucky to live somewhere so beautiful.

P.S. The cake looked really good too.

I don’t know about postcards,
but thanks a lot.:slight_smile:

And, yes the cake was very good,
nothign left of it now, sorry.:wink:
