The word dvärg (dwarf) can be seen painted at a very low height on grey and dull surfaces.

This mark is new for me, have never seen it before.

Sometimes they land at the field nearby.

The allotment gardens at Dianelund, Årsta. One of the nicest allotment areas around Stockholm.

That was nice too .

YES! But I wonder if it really is good? Why am I so hungry and feel that a Big Mac is what I need, can’t even remember when I had one last time.

My new healthy life:-). Have some body work to do. Well, I’m just going for a swim starting up nice and slowly, no heavy weights today.

I don’t know what this means…

The kid. The name of roe deer kids in Swedish is “kid”, so maybe the sense of the marks is “Warning, kids”.

The roe deers can be found at the back of road signs and on concrete walls in different shapes and size in the streets of Stockholm, Sweden. I don’t know who makes them.

Update: Found that the roe deers are made by the artist Peter Baranowski, also called “klister Peter” (glue Peter). He also puts up nesting boxes all over the town (Stockholm). Here’s a site with him and other street artists projects, Akayism.

This time at a concrete foundation and in blue colour.

This is the last days of my vacation. I have spent most of my time lying on the beach sunbathing, and now I have got a great blue tan as you can see. See Ya at fry day!

On the left side, the old Årsta bridge. On the right side, the South hospital and Sacha children’s hospital.

This is the family grave of Märta Helena Reenstierna and her husband Henrik Christian von Schnell and their children. The family grave had its place inside Brännkyrka church from the beginning but was moved with their buried children in 1802 to its present position. It was quite hard to locate the grave but I had some help from visitors at the cemetery with knowledge about the history and the family grave.

The trees surrounding the graveyard was donated to the church by Märta Helena Reenstierna (The Årsta lady). She was a frequent visitor of the church and a good friend of the priest in that time. She was very concerned about the pigs walking freely around near the church since they could destroy the tree plants. She wrote three letters to the priest about the plants to make sure of they were taken care of and didn’t get damaged.

Brännkyka church has gone through some renovations and rebuilding through the years, mostly because of fires. There’s a note in King Karl XII:s bible kept in the church that says the church did burn for the fourth time in 1723. There’s also a plate on the church that says King Gustaf IV Adolph did a renewal and expansion of the church in 1802. In 1975 the church got the look it has today in a big renovation and expansion.

Following Göta country road on the new road, which is pretty much following the route of the old road, you will reach Brännkyrka church after about 20 minutes. Translated to English it would be something like “TheBurntChurch” church and it’s in the parish of “TheBurntChurch”. The church is very old, from the 12′th century and it has been on fire a few times through the years. It must have got the name from a fire before 1425 AC since the parish is named so in kept sources for the first time at that time.

If you follow Göta country road crossing The Årsta field you will walk over this bridge from the 18′th century. The bridge crosses Valla stream. There’s not much water in it nowadays but for about 100 years ago it was quite a good stream. There were even plans transporting timber in the stream but Märta Helena Reenstierna (the Årsta lady) didn’t like those plans so she stopped them.

This cemetery is called “the forgotten cemetery” or “the cholera cemetery”. It is from 1809 and was last used in 1901. It lays quite invisible near a busy traffic route. It was mainly used during the cholera epidemics.

The left bridge is Skanstulls bridge. You can see the mill in the background. Somewhere around the mill death punishment by hanging were executed in the 18′th & 19′th century, the weekend happening for people, always crowded.
