A trip to the outside of town. |
|
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. Ove took out his car. We should go to a store at the outskirts of town. We needed to buy heavy things. So we did not take the bus. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. this an old car. The vehicle test called this car for a "hobby car". Can only be used for small trips in summer. We don't use it to long trips on the country road. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. We drove at east. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. | |

 |
|
| 2017-06-08. When we came to the store, we first had a nice walk by the river. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. The Kolbäck bridge. A big bridge. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. This is art. Water is running from these rocks. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-08. These houses are boathouses. But they were made for companies to do their business. My working place was in this area. Now there re stores and companies. I have worked in these houses helping teachers with their computer. | |
 |

Greenness |
|
|
|
|
| 2017-06-14. Now it was early summer and I took a long walk by the river. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The dandelion has bloomed over. But also the seed on the flowers is nice. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The blue river and the green grass. This is the best time of the year. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. Dandelions. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The airport is rather near the other side of the river. I took a picture of a plane that was going to land. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. This is such a peaceful place. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. A walking and biking path the goes up to west of town. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. Cars may not go here. But I saw a red car in the distance. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The car belonged to the emergency people. the were training to save life. A man was floating on the river on a life jacket. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. Lundåker in the distance. The are lifting cranes on both sides of the river. They are for the building of the new bridge. | |
 |
|

 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The Marina named Lundåker. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. This it a picture that shows how the new bridge will look. They put it up as an information. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. I saw another plane flying over the river. | |
 |
|
| In 2014-07-07 I was flying to Stockholm in that plane. YAY :-) | |
 |
|
| And we were flying over the river in 2014-07-07. There is a raft with a sauna in the river. Wow, such nice memories :-) | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The emergency men were launching a boat in the river by the Lundåker marina. | |
 |
|
| We launched our kayak on that place in the 70's. | |
 |
|
| Here I'm looking out over the river in the 70's. An old scanned picture. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. The same place taken with a digital camera. | |
 |
|
| 2017-06-14. I was looking again at the building place for the bridge | |

 |
|
| 2017-07-29. This was so much fun to see. They did not need to paddle. They only had to flow with the stream of the river. | |
 |
|
| 2017-07-29. More fireweeds. | |

In a boat on the Ume River |
|
 |
|
| We made a trip in this boat. But I took this picture in 2016-07-21 from land. The day we were in the boat at 2017-08-24, there were dark clouds and the river looked grey. The name of the boat is "Sjöbris" = sea breeze. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. We went aboard. Ove is in front of me. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. This boat is a shrimp boat. You eat fresh shrimps. You have to scale the shrimps yourself. There are napkins and also wet wipes for your hands. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. In Sweden it's common tourists can eat shrimps on a boat. You get bread and butter and some other small things to the shrimps, like cheese and egg. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. Unfortunately we could not enjoy a blue river. The weather was not so nice. The boat was booked for this day. But we had a nice time in the boat and the food was delicious. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. We saw a plane from the boat. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. This is the raft with the sauna I saw from the plane in 2014. | |
 |
|
| 2017-08-24. We passed under the bridge there the store MAXI is. Despite of the dark clouds, it was a lovely boat trip. | |
