First – a big Thank you for treating us all with your wonderful favourites for 2025 – maybe the best challenge every year!

Now Anne is asking us to take a walk according to the theory ”…there is always something to photograph.” A theory I certainly agree with! Please visit her lovely site for more inspiration! Well, I did as she said – took the block less traveled. Here are some of my findings:

I started out at my favourite house – then took some roads where I never walk my dog.

Next I found these covered trees. Almost ghostly appearances. I wouldn’t want to meet them in the dark…

Yes, Winter has arrived and in many places we have very cold weather and huge amounts of snow. Schools are closed, there are no buses and the trains are standing still. And more snow is coming. There are red warnings telling us to stay at home!

Here is a neat group of stones to be set in a yard next year(?). Many people started renovating and building new when we had covid. Some never got finished.

Round the last corner before walking back home, I found a beautiful winter tree with reddish branches and snow powdered twigs. A gorgeous dominant in this garden.

Lastly some rusty and broken details – and a fallen out door from the old silo.

When I reviewed my post, I saw that much of our architecture and many trees have that red touch during winter (even the details!) – I like it. It gives the overall impression of a red and white world. These are also the colours of most Swedish houses from the old days.

Thank you, Anne, for a fun way to find out what our neighbourhood looks like today! Now we are looking forward to seeing what’s on Your block! Don’t forget the Lens-Artists tag and to add your post to Anne’s original one.

Next week it is Ritva leading – please visit her beautiful site for inspiration. Until then, stay safe and be kind.
