Trosa Ultra Backyard 2018 lap 10-35

The ultra race you have been reading about in previous post is still going with 2 runners left in the race.

I left you when it got dark yesterday evening and after that it looked like this.

The tiny little lights are all runners lamps. The big lamps are streetlights and bridge lights.

After 02:00 in the night, 31 runners left of 200 starters

Two runners two in the morning 😉

Five-ish in the morning 18 runners left in the race

Seven o’clock in the morning. Rain.

Around eight o’clock lap 23, that is almost 23 hours of constant running

Nine o’clock, still pretty rainy weather.

Almost the end of lap 25. It was 12 runners on that lap.

Lap 26 and 9 runners left.

Lap 30 and 6 runners left.

Lap 32 and five runners left.

Near the end of lap 33. No rain, just beautiful sunset.

The two runners above is the ones that still running. They’re on lap 36 and the night falls.

I will try to update you tomorrow how the race went or if they still run…

Can you imagine staying awake for over 35 hours and above that run and walk all that time without no stop.

Well, you can stop if you run the lap under one hour, but then you waste energy and maybe the risk of loosing the race.

I like this kind of running (as an audience). It is not the fastest runner who wins, it is the most stubborn and the most tactic runner with strenght to wait out all the other runners.

What a day!

And for some it is not over yet…

Winter greetings from Trosa Sweden

Jim wanted to see some winter pictures. Don’t ask me why someone wants to see winter pics when so many long for Spring. But as you know, Jim is one of our friendly blogger in the community so of course I show some pics from my city in white.

Freezing temps this weekend. Minus 12 C, but when Spring sun coming up it’s more like 4-5 minus C. 

Have a great start of the week 🙂

December 6 2017 herons in the air

This tine of year we can watch herons fly by over the city roofs. It’s amazing watching those birds. 

Så här års flyger gråhägrar i flertal över hustaken i stan. Fantastiskt att få se hägrarna på så nära håll mitt inne i stan.

Apropå fåglar. Ett boktips så här i juletider. 

En underbar liten historia. En liten fågel i juletid av Fannie Flagg.

Speaking of birds. Have you read the wonderful book by Fannie Flagg?

A Redbird Christmas

Have a nice morning, day, evening and night where ever you are 🙂

Christmas lights :)

This picture is taken a bit after 16:00 this evening. It’s pitch dark both in afternoon and morning now in Sweden. It’s hard to stay awake when it’s dark outside. But soon it’s getting lighter again.

News from Save Trosa nature movement

One of my Save Trosa nature friends has written an excellent debate piece that one of the local papers SN published.

So it’s official…

… I woke up to this 

Winter seems to be here now. Yes, it is that white stuff you see that isn’t supposed to come earlier than December!

But inside is warm and I keep myself near the fireplace, so I have nothing to complain about.

Have a nice evening you all!

End of October in Trosa

This is Trosa Sweden around 16:00 a Sunday in October.

Street lights already on.

Almost no boats left in the little river. Only two kayaks. It’s still kayak weather if you have the right safety clothes on.

Today it’s very windy and cold. We’re heading to the w season I think.

But still nothing of that white stuff coming down. It can wait til December around x mas.

Have a great Sunday you all!

News from Save Trosa nature people

One of my Save Trosa nature friends and I have worked on a report. We have examined if the project new big road can proceed without negative climate effects. It can’t, so we told the authorities and media. Here’s the first news article about our report. You can read it in Swedish at itrosa.se.

Here’s what the Swedish news article says:

Municipalities Ingrid Benson and Anna Bohlin have examined the project New big road and the exploitation of the Tureholm Peninsula. They have compiled a 10-point list of climate councils that Trosa Municipality has not taken into account. The following press release has been published to media and environmental stakeholders:
Project New big road and the exploitation of Western Trosa – Tureholm Peninsula will counteract climate targets of 10 points.

In a review of the project based on climate reports from the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the Regional Association and the County Administrative Board, it appears that Trosa municipality in projects in Western Trosa
will strongly counter all established international, national, regional and local climate targets.

The review also shows that the municipality can cancel the projects and yet achieve the growth targets the municipality has set up.

The review letter “Has the climate goals been included in the planning of new big road and the exploitation of Western Trosa – Tureholm Peninsula?” Has been sent to decision-makers in Trosa Municipality, County Administrative Board, Regional Federation, Swedish Transport Agency, Swedish National Agency for Housing, the Environment and Energy, the Ministry of Energy, the Environment and Energy, the media and other actors which has the potential to influence a community development that promotes climate goals.

Trosa municipality politicians and other decision makers in the project today have a unique opportunity to cancel the project before it adversely affects the environment and the climate. The municipality then has the opportunity to launch climate-smart growth projects that strengthen migration attractiveness and the brand as an ecommerce community, thus fulfilling all climate goals, the reviewers believe.

The review letter is available as downloadable pdf file on the website https://informationtrosa.wordpress.com. It can also be ordered by e-mail at: infotrosa@gmail.com.

The examination report tries to enlighten the authorities about the climate issues and the report actually says this:

Thomas at aspiblog says it in a few words. The report writers says it in many thousand words, but it’s still the same message.

To be continued 🙂

Gärdsmyg – Eurasian wren

I saw a cute little bird this weekend.

Tails up is significant for this bird. I’ve only seen pictures of it before, but now it showed up near the house for a short while before it flew away again.

Visitor in the sky – besökare i luften

Här om dagen seglade denna fågel ovanför oss. Vad är det för fågel?

The other day this bird was flying over us. Who is it?

I don´t know, so I’m asking if you know and can tell me.

Jag vet inte vad det är för fågel, vet ni, så får ni gärna berätta för mig.

en vråk av något slag?
