Our hut. A photo from 1957. I am the one in sunglasses.
60 years later I and Svante returned.......

 


.....and time and lack of maintenance have destroyed our hut.

 


We went to Karlstad in the district of Värmland for another dog show

 


Waiting for the show to begin

 


Of course we keep our dogs on the leash at the Cat Fjord, ha ha.
Wonder if the dog ban on the beach is because of water protection.
What about bathing humans peeing discreetly in the water?

 


My gals

This is my vacation spot.I took a flight over my home country.
The airplanes fixed and bended windows made the photos not so good.

 


This is the lake where my vacation spot is situated 200 meters
beyond the red house to the right.

 


Here, in Dala-Järna, I spent my childhood and my teens.
From right to left: the school, the cemetery where my ancestors and my brother are buried, my childhood home, the church where I was confirmed,
the lower island in the river where we boy scouts used to haunt, the upper island in the river with the moldered hut.



Landing after ½ hour in the air.
One might think that the region would be named something alluding
on the mountains but its name is Dalarna - The valleys.

 


Take off ......

 


..... and landing

 


A mighty prey
