Join me today as we walk around a #HISTORICAL #LANDMARK OF THE #IRON #INDUSTRY : JÄDRAÅS FOUNDRY and Lancashire forge from 1857 in Jädraås ~ Sweden. 🇸🇪
The funny thing is, I visited it last year on the SAME DAY : 11 DECEMBER 2023. Today is also the 11th of December so I thought I have to post this walk today, 😁 when I checked my photos taken with my CANON for more #interesting photos. 📸
This landmark is located in the Gävleborg County, about 3 hours drive above Stockholm.

This IRON INDUSTRIAL LANDMARK is my entry for today in this MONTH’S #WINTERCHALLENGE from worldmappin@worldmappin. You can read all about it here : Winter is coming 🥶🥶🥶 - and with it the Worldmappin Winter Challenge 🥳🥳
Are you joining us too? Do try, it is FUN!

The location of the Jädraås FOUNDRY in Sweden 🇸🇪 we can find on the following screenshots from google maps:

Zooming out we see its location better.

Today’s photographic selection will be of 31 PHOTOGRAPHS. Taken with my #CANON #R5 camera 📸
Date: 11 DECEMBER 2023.
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.

After we found a spot to park our car next to the road (it is difficult with this much snow everywhere to find spots) we dressed up warm once again 😁
🧤🧣 gloves and scarfs are definitely needed.

Let’s check out this industrial iron mill, stay close… we have lots to #discover 😎

It is located next to the road and the river…
alt

If you look closely at the 2 windows during this walk you see #Christmas lights in them.

There is a little bridge we can walk over to look at the foundry and other industrial buildings from most angles.
alt

I like to discover the industrial 🏭 era with all the metal and bricks 🧱 in and on the buildings. Rust and #decay gives such a interesting mood and photos 😎
alt

As we walk further we see more of this large industrial complex. The foundry and the dark water of the river. The snow is a beautiful contrast. 🥰
alt

Looking over the river…
alt

We see all the trees 🌲 🌳 are white from the snow and frost ❄️🥶
alt

I zoom in on this tall tree 🌳 the branches are heavy from the layer of snow ❄️
alt

Walking further and looking back at the #foundry. The red of the bricks 🧱 is just showing under the snow. Making it look pink.
alt

Opposite the foundry there is a cabin next to the river. Hidden away and almost not reachable with the meters of snow piled up.
alt

I look up at the furnaces.
alt

Such cool details.
alt

More information (in Swedish) you find here: Wikipedia Jädraås bruk! if you have time… do translate it, it is very interesting to read up on 🤓

We walked to the other side of the bridge and take in the views. The river is fully covered with a thick layer of ice 🧊 and snow ❄️
alt

Nobody walked over it… so beautiful and serene.
alt

Crossing the bridge and looking back we see this:
alt

I like this view and it is one of my favourite photos from today 😁
alt

Next to me two birch trees and the vastness of the white undisturbed snow.
alt

Let me show you the river from this angle. Come closer! let’s look over the edge a bit more!
Look at the ice build up along the river’s edge. 🥶😳
alt

It looks AWESOME, don’t you think?
alt

We look up at the furnaces and the top of the building on the back. So much to see 😎
alt

A iPhone photo of the location from the cabin next to the river and across from the foundry.
alt

I couldn’t help myself and just had to show you that white tree a bit more 😉
alt

In #monochrome 😎
alt

I like the looks of the dark river and it being surrounded by the white snow. ⛄️
alt

Looking into the distance along the river 😊
alt

To bad I was not equipped to walk along the rivers edge… I can imagine the photos I would have taken hahaha 😂
alt

A better view of the little cabin.
alt

Let’s walk back now towards the main building of this #factory.
I Love the #RUST 🥰
alt

My favourite photos from from today 🤩
alt

The #details and #texture… are awesome ☺️
alt

Just as we hop into the car again I see this sign. I take a photo with my phone to know where we are… to show you today 😁
alt

I found a great review on Google maps here: Review of the foundry by Staffan Söderlund! He attended a tour, check out the inside photos of this foundry by him.
In this review he shares the following 👇🏻 photo, you can read more information on the sign 🪧 (I edited and enlarged the text part of his photo for your ease to read)
altSource photo taken by Staffan Söderlund!

I didn’t find this sign while I was wandering around, I guess it was on the side of the building where the snow was tooooo deep for me to go.

…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.
