Winter time.. The other day
Today was a really gray and moist day weather wise so I felt like remembering that the other day instead when it was a really beautiful winter weather. I am gonna try to experiment a little bit forward with this kind of portrait kind of videos. I think it is a cool thing with a video that only has very subtle movements in it. For example a bird flying or snow falling.
Holy mooses
Oh la la.. better not go to fast through the Swedish woods. At 70 km/h I had time to stop in time for this beast to safely cross the road.. Her male friend had already crossed so I suspected this one to follow, which was exactly what happened. I am so happy that I didn’t go faster and that there was no other cars around at this moment.
Moonlight obsession
To combine my recent obsession about the moon with my desire to spend more time playing music, I thought that a next logical step would be to rehearse the good old sonata nr 14 by Beethoven, also known as the Moonlight Sonata.
To make it more interesting and original I am thinking of playing this piece on the old piano that was more or less the first piano I ever played and that once belonged to my grandfather’s sister. What’s interesting with this piano except for its age is that it’s tuned about one half note lower than normal, which gives it a certain mellow sound.
So let’s just hope I didn’t forget everything a about playing the piano (I only played very occasionally during the last 20 years or so 🙂 and hopefully I will be able to post a one of a kind performance for you to enjoy here on the blog soon ^^ It’ll be a lot of fun.
Under the clear blue moon sky
Could not resist setting up the “moon photo studio” again. My plan this time was to film the moon, which was possible actually. But the result was not as interesting as I might have thought. Something really cool happened though when I looked through the binoculars during setting up. An airliner crossed the line of vision and drew a visual black line straight through the moon. That would have been cool to catch on film, but of course it was just before I had set the camera up ^^
Anyways, I think that this is just about how good a shot I can get of the moon with my mobile camera. But I must say I am pretty happy. Taking a photo of the moon kind of always was a bit of a dream to me. Don’t know why, but i guess it’s because I find outer space very fascinating. And seeing the actual rocks and irregularities of the moon through the binoculars, gives evidence to the brain that planets and space and stuff is for real, and not a conspiracy or science fiction.
See you later fancy people
Just tried my new translation function.. LOL ^^
Swedish people will laugh.. haha… (compare to previous post)
Try your own language if other than English… ^^
Since Google uses more and more AI in there algorithms I reason that it’s just a matter of time before my translation function will work really well… till then enjoy a good laugh here and there =)
Peace
Best Skype meeting ever
Just had the most professional and effective Skype conference ever in one of my projects. Feels good. The picture shows my favorite computer microphone that I had to fix at one point, hence the tape..now on the other hand I would say that it is pretty much unbreakable.
Otherwise a pretty hefty headache that have persisted throughout the day. Better take it easy the rest of the evening. For a Saturday I have been quite productive today. Rock on everyone.
Sun hunt in frosty landscape
Today was such a frosty day. I decided to go for a walk in the Woods and to specifically look for the sun before it set behind the mountain. The house here kind of is on the shadowy side of a valley so the sun sets pretty early in the day even for the winter season. So I finally got to see the sun even though the trees did their best to stop me. I got to see some nice views on the way as well. It’s pretty amazing to walk in the woods with the snow shining white. I also found some really nice trees with three moss. I always learned when I was a kid that tree moss is a sign of good clean air so I guess that the air must be really clean in this spot.
Back in the country house – freezing cold weather
Just in time for my return to the country house winter also decided to arrive.. Lots of snow and really cold. Really nice to be back however. Looking forward to a really nice work session in the days to come.
Also looking forward to playing some music since I haven’t been around my violin or piano for almost 2 weeks.
And as if this was not enough I also just got the date for my week when I will be handling the @jkpg account on Instagram. Cool thing. Really looking forward to snap some pics of my home town and share with all the wonderful people following this account.
Ok so that’s it for now.. Better put some more wood into the fire place and then call it a night!
Evening walk with lots of thoughts
Yay… Snow again.. Been a while now. Took a stroll this evening to clear my thoughts a bit. Tomorrow I am heading south again after quite a stay with family in Stockholm and Örebro. Today I officially declared that 2017 will be the year of meditation and fulfilled dreams. It will also be the year of a lot of other things too.. But those two goals are not a bad start I think. I have lots of good things planned for the near future so see you soon.
