Gärdesån, Offerdal. part 2.

Well hello. A year later i post some remaining pics i didnt include in my previous post of this place. The large moose figures are possibly the oldest in Sweden, about 7000 bp. The smaller figures are a few thousand years younger. Favorite place!

people visiting and looking.

we all start somewhere.

Garnet, a gold mining town in Montana.

Last time in America, i posted my visit at the la brea tar pits in LA. this time, on our way back to Missoula from a camping trip, we made a stop here. Of course, i was quite excited to step into a real american saloon! forest fires were a potential threat to the buildings during the summer. We drove for quite a while up a mountain, and there it was.

Gärdesån, Offerdal

alltså dessa små fotspår... jag dör.

every site i visit is the best one. 

but this time.. 

this one def. is.

bjuröklubb. fishing area.

a coastal gravefield during winter.

on a latitude with long winters and short (though lovely) summers, this is what gravefields look like most of the year. their visual place in the landscape during winter is a little difficult to see if the graves are small in size. the snow was far above my knees. i think this stone ship is rockin' it though. it is very pretty. this particular stone ship is sweden's most northern. the final frontier! in the south of scandinavia the stone ships are a lot bigger.

another weekend field trip! part 2, nature

an archaeologist looking for something..

Calluna vulgaris

another weekend field trip! part 1, grave field

the weather was in our favor, this weekend as well. We went out before lunch, Sofi and i, to the grave field of our dreams. The sun tried its hardest to shine on us. Sofi is in the pictures. the grave field is from 1500-500 B.C, which is bronze age. This field trip lasted 3 hours as well, just as last saturday's. We loved everything.

go big or go home, they seemed to say.

opened and plundered grave cairn with a stone cist in the center.
