Lilljansskogen is the forest just behind the university where Robert works.
Towering pines.
I live in the center of Stockholm on one island and I work on another island in the center. To get from home to work and back, I take the subway. Except to walk to the grocery or the subway, I am not outside that much this time of year. It’s cold, it’s dark. Why bother? But I do get antsy.
That’s why it was so nice Saturday to get out for a walk in Lilljansskogen, the forest behind the Royal Institute of Technology. It was just before sunset (around 3) and for the most part, we had the woods to ourselves. When a woman on a horse went by, I could not help but think of Robert Frost’s Stopping By Woods on A Snowy evening:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep….”
It was so peaceful and it felt great to be out in nature in spite of the cold and gray. But since it was so chilly– -3C – it took me a while to warm up once I got back inside.
Coming out of the woods and into this clearing, we saw a woman riding a horse.
Robert checks out a mini bridge.
