\nThe benefits of working from home, continued: when I see that it is sunny outside in the afternoon, I can just decide to “pack up and go home” and then go out for a long walk, with no advance planning. And be lucky enough to find the year’s first little stand of blue anemone in an otherwise drab and dead-looking forest.<\/p>\n
One of the best places for an afternoon walk in the sun is the cliffs near Kyrkhamn and G\u00e5seborg. They face lake M\u00e4laren on its east side and they are only sparsely wooded, so there are plenty of wide open views towards the lake in the west. There was also very little birdsong. Pine forests tend to be quiet; I guess not many songbirds like them. But the area near G\u00e5seborg had more shrubs and deciduous trees, and some noisy blue tits, as well as some others I didn’t recognize by their sounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The benefits of working from home, continued: when I see that it is sunny outside in the afternoon, I can just decide to “pack up and go home” and then go out for a long walk, with no advance planning.

\nKyrkhamn is also one of Stockholm’s quietest spots. The web site of Stockholm city has a guide to the city’s quiet places<\/a>. There are no large roads nearby, and to one side of course there is only the lake. At this time of the year there are no noisy boats on the lake either.<\/p>\n
