Loneliness

Have you ever been scared of hanging out with yourself only?
Have no one to talk to, have nobody’s hand to hug,have no one to share your opinions and worries with? And maybe most important of all, have no one to share the happy memories with?
Then your not alone. It was my main reason to do this journey. To be alone, do the thing I am most scared of. I was terrified that I would lie on the hostel bed cry and never walk up again and have nobody that would help me get back there again.
At this tiny café, I had my lunch. While eating I quietly started to crie, thanks of the amazing good food and that I felt so happy.
At the train back to my friends place, I meet this happy dressed up guys. Something that I did not notice while I was in Amsterdam. Was all the exchanging of smiles with strangers, as the photos proof. I am glad that I have my camera.

Another side of Amsterdam

My third stop on the journey was the world wide famous Amsterdam. I am lucky to have a friend that is birth in Holland and raised close to Amsterdam. So I got to see some other places than Red Light District and the famous Coffee Shops.
If you are reading to find out about the mushrooms and weed, you can stop already since I am not the usual Amsterdam tourist.
We went to this amazing bar where they were have a organic festival this day.. We also went to this locals market place..Were photographing was not that popular I got to realize..
Besides drugs and naked ladys Holland are also famous for their cheese..And their windmills…We got a very good tour in this windmill! On the underground train, I meet this lady, I just had to take her portrait since she really is inspiring me and is following her own way..I think more of us should live out or “crazy” idéas once in a while and see what really happens!
Stay tuned from the update from the touristy side of Amsterdam!

On top of the world

After you have been hiking and finally reached your goal, it feels like nothing can defeat you. It  actually feels like your on top of the world. It is hard to describe for somebody that never have experienced the magic of standing on the top of a mountain and just felt like beeing a tiny piece of the entire world. I hope that this photo can  help me to share the feeling I am talking about..

On our way to the top we meet this 3 little fellows…
And the rest of their family..The cold night was pretty hard on us, so we had a few breaks on our way to the top..While home again we really enjoyed the dinner at the table.. And then it was time to sleep again..

Rainy days

A simple life in the Alps, gets way much more exhausting when the rains is poring down a whole day. Tasks that already was complicated with out electricity gets even more complicated when its raining and your also very cold all the time..Anyway this day I went down to the the village to find a food store, I did not get any food, but I got some nice photos..
Waiting for the weather to get better so that we can go out to the hike..

Simple life at Pianta Monda

After 6 hours we finally arrived in the Swiss Alps..The Alps were even more beautiful that I could remember…We went there to stay at a farmers “simple” life collective, in other words, you grow as much food as you can, live without hot water, electricity,water toilets, isolation, yeah you name it…

On our way to the top we had a nice wine and food break with not only this man.

You have to love this view.. On our way to the house..
Well up there we got to meet the goats…
I was very happy to meet the kidlings since our sheeps back home decided to give birth the same day as I left…..!Cold but cozy?
It was kind of card for me since I could not charge the camera battery (I even forgot to charge the camera before we left..)But I think it was good practice for me to save the images, I only took 600 photos during those 3 days and I still had a pretty good rate with photos that I consider good So by other words, stay tuned for the next photos!

I meet up with a fairytail girl

Me and Andreas took a quickie to Freiburg before we went for the hike in the Swiss Alps. Our friend showed us around in the beautiful little town in the south of Germany..
I really enjoy his blue eyes in the special light..  He showed us the Gothic church, I am so fascinated of old buildings, they have such a story to tell..
And then the rain started to poor down and we took cover under a roof. And there somewhere this girl stepped out from a fairytale..I just could let here get away with a profile shot.. Then we went home to have dinner and for the last night in a isolated house in a while..

Confused and Away

I left Berlin more confused than I left any other city. I have a hard timer decide wither I like the city or not. Or I know that I like Berlin, but I don’t know why and how.  Berlin might be the strangest city I ever have been in, in all categories.
Berlins shut down airport, that now is used as a training area and park.
Threaten animals came there when it was closed for public. When it opened again some people even came there with their sailing boats that they had put wheels on.
The city itselfs has a strange balance of graffiti, angry citizens that hates to be photographed more than anything, trash, and people that are dressing and drinking exactly how much and how they want, whenever they want to.The citizens in Berlin seems free, sometimes I ask myself if they are to free? I wonder what the government seems like, it feels like Berlin are lead by a gang of old Punk Rockers listening to rock and drinking Jägermaister.

I have never in my life meet this many angry people while photographing. People have been screaming, asking friendly and some have even given me the fuck you finger. I cannot say that I like it, but I don’t feel to sad about it either.  Before I came to Berlin I have only meet two angry people photographing in my whole life.Maybe I like Berlin thanks to the free people, it is so much to see and it feels like you learn a little of every step you take.
