Looks GOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Namnam!
I learned the other day that Ingmar Bergman's "Cries and Whispers" ("Viskningar och rop") was filmed at Taxinge.
Speaking about beet salad - that is a true connection between Russia and Sweden. I was at a Russian restaurant in Chicago (Russian Tea Room) and they served a beet salad that was very similar to the one on the picture, just with less mayonnaise (= more healthy).
Was the Bergman movie inspired by real ghosts at Taxinge castle?
I don't think Bergman needed to rely on local ghosts, he probably brought his own personal "demons" as ususal. :)
"Fröken Julie" by August Strindberg is said to be inspired by Taxinge castle. And Bergman was in genaral very inspired by Strindberg, who had his "demons" too.
Hittade detta:
"Förr i tiden stannade likprocessionerna till vid SPÖKEKEN. De väntade på att klockorna i Taxinge kyrka skulle ringa. Därav fick den namnet "likeken". Folkfantasin förknippade lik och spöke så det blev spökeken istället.
Vid fullmåne händer oförklarliga saker vid EKEN. Särskilt den första torsdagen i månaden. Jag vill inte berätta mer än så, testa själv."
Beskåda eken här.
why is the picasa icon showing up under your pic?
