On camping place Farstanäs

I mentioned camping Farstanäs in story about water pipe..

It is the biggest camping place in Stockholm's region.

You can see official site ..in English

but there is something else what I wanted to show you..from this place..

Camping houses ,tents can tell maybe little about social status and personalities of their owners..

I don't want to speculate but it is difficult to think that one rich family will camp in a little tent..

like I show you on pictures.

My attention was drawn to one camping house with wooden verandas (2 not only one)

place was marked with fence of blue rope..

"this is my property-don't enter.."

(this was my interpretation when I saw it)

It was quiet around this camping house..

Some people stay on camping from April to September and

they arrange like a little garden around camping houses..flowers,verandas , TV antennas..

and other comes with like this hippie-green bus!..

I came near (not to much..because of privacy..)to take a photo .

Housing people in this bus were old like n0by or me..

..Scandinavians.

(they were talking between themselves loudly,maybe some beer helped little to open conversation..)

and some other are living in simple tent like this 2 pictures.

But today has happened to me something unexpected ..

On the way home I heard drum,songs,( 2) hands clapping, voices...

and under the trees near some nice quiet Scandinavian camping house..

were big group of people like a big big family,...(nothing like Scandinavian..)

They were sitting, lying ,dancing, joking , laughing, howling(similar like in the Hindu temple imitating gopis,or cowherds can sound like this....Indian friends will understand),..

talking,eating some snacks,fruits,nuts,drinking coffee or tee..

there was a life!

Off course these are  'black skulls' ,..immigrants, I recognized them immediately..

I stopped my bicycle,switch off Osho from mp3..

and wanted to take some pictures,.. little discreet.

One girl asked me why I take photo..



They were sitting, lying ,dancing, joking ,
laughing, howling

 

I said : ."just to show to my friends how you are joyful people.."

She invited me to dance with her..but I was not ready to expose me..,

Suddenly Osho started teasing me..

.."aha, you are just carrying me in your head, preaching to others about celebration,life love,laughter..

and what are you doing now ..taking photos is like watching the cake..better taste it..participate!"

..and I left my little ego for the moment beside my bicycle and

jumped in the middle to dance with unknown people..

this was welcomed with more laughter..

And these were just some Syrian (Orthodox) church gathering..

but in behavior more like real Osho- neo-sanyasins ...

They were not celebrating some holy-day,

but just to be together and have fun in one nice summer day..without reason..

priest was there in black tie-shirt and shorts in some discussion.

but one women who was dancing said..

yes priest is there but we don't look at this site where he is..

we have fun.."

At the end to all of you..

take this wild strawberry each of you as a taste of Swedish summer.

love

Prem Kumari
