To remind me of one of the few sunny days this summer. Cold, windy and showers every day – this Swedish summer of 2017 will not be one remembered for its glorious weather. This week is also the last holiday week for many Swedes – always a bit terrifying…but nowadays it doesn’t matter that much how the summer was. I am lucky to be free!

WPC: Satisfaction
Jen at WordPress wants to know about what gives us satisfaction – and well, every February, week 8, I get a lot of that… I give my 144 potplants a total makeover!
Thursday Thoughts – Childhood Dreams
Children. Sometimes I wish I was a child again – maybe not all of you do, but maybe some of you …?
Freedom. I was fortunate – I had the best childhood I could dream of. Loving parents and grandparents…and not more human friends than I wanted. Animals were my best friends. Strolling in the forest, feeling totally secure. Quietness. Simplicity.
When walking the paths at Wanås, there were some children skipping in front of us – with their parents of course. I could not help but studying them. A girl and a boy – siblings – who quietly climbed the installations allowed. The girl exploring first…and then the boy took the lead. A bit more daring now…
Later in the day, I saw them merrily running and jumping over a little bridge in the fading sunshine. The boy in the lead. So…first the girl, leading the boy into this new, unknown world…and when he felt safe and secure enough, he took over.
And, the very little girl in the header, trudging away…how did she manage?
I so recognized myself in her. She was a loner, a little philosopher…
…until her mother called her name, waking her up from her reveries and reminding her she had to hurry up and join the rest of the little family.

Check Out This Young Guy!
Today’s exhibition was a real hit – Erik Johansson at Dunkers in Helsingborg. I just never wanted to leave…so, please take a look at his surrealistic photos! If possible – go to Dunkers yourselves and have a great experience, inspirational and mindblowing.
Erik’s work is not unlike the works of another artist I admire – Yacek Yerka. The latter paints in acrylic, and Erik is a photographer. Both to my taste!
What do you think?
Perspective – 1, 2 or 3?
What perspective do you use – for the most part – when you shoot your photos?
I like the total difference it makes to the picture – depending on what you focus on.
These three pictures were taken from the same spot – but I try to communicate three different ”feelings”. Simple, but interesting. Of course we decide according to what we want to say…but I know we all have our preferences…
…so what is yours? Why?
Thursday’s Special: Slow
Paula, at Lost in Translation, asks us to post on something slow…This giant from Galápagos is…certainly slow, but awe- inspiring in so many ways.
