Halloween at Gröna Lund

Gröna Lund is the famous amusement park located at Djurgården in central Stockholm. Annually, around Halloween they decorate the park and arrange Halloween themed events. 

We didn't want to pay the excessive entrance fee, so we stayed outside trying to get some nice pictures in the dark. Long exposures with a tripod and some good timing can get you a long way. 

This is actually "Eclipse". One of the worlds highest (121 meters) Wave Swinger (or Star Flyers).

"Eclipse" for reference in the daylight.

 

Excursion to Tungelsta

Today we went by commuter train to the village Tungelsta, approx. 30 km south of Stockholm. We found some really nice things to photograph. Old abandoned buildings and skeletons of old green houses. We will go back for sure.

A Heron and some ducks..

We went for a walk and ended up att this pond connected to Bällstaån that runs close to where we live. We found some nice birds. I did not get close enough to the heron though. 

A beautiful Heron.
