selfie

sometimes playing with the camera and being in front of rather than behind it, helps me to notice details about myself that I usually can’t see.

hello sweden, goodbye sweden

_MG_3476_MG_3563

maybe one day I will be wise enough to just be there, without the comparing and without the expecting.

or maybe not. anyhow, in my mind it is always like a living fairytale.

fullmoon and morning sun

a burning orange, just before vanishing behind spiky pine tops. and a pastel colored sunrise the day before.

so pretty, so quiet.

waiting with shuli

she is so sweet and warm that for a moment I did not feel the cold, rough wind.

and she became the bridge between my two very different but beautiful worlds.

light on

_MG_2936_MG_2944_MG_2940

sunlight, contrast and shadows, mud work and cardamom coffee, a sore throat, a messy house, and suitcase almost packed, a never ending to-do list, an unexpected visit, a womens sauna session just before midnight, a moon about to be full, a wish to do more single-tasking.

hugs to you!
