thanks to you who are visiting this place of mine.
and thanks for comments, good wishes, greetings and small thoughts. 
it always makes me grateful.

on and on.

att cykla genom kvällen när solen sakta lämnar.
när svala vindar plötsligt kyler,
och vi aldrig varit här förut.
att leta, som att famla, men med hjul och fart och svisch.
leta efter platsen där vi ska stanna den här natten.
den måste ju ha vatten.

a silly little poem on biking, when evening turns to night and we must find somewhere to camp.

pub niska. där äter man plåtbröd och dansar gammeltjo på bryggan.

pub niska. they serve 'plåtbröd' (the nordic version of pizza) while couples dance on the jetty.

no biking without fika.

fika = coffee and various sweet treats.

i have been absorbed by mine and others diploma projects / master theses. 
busy weeks, nerves, friends, doubts, cheering, disappointments, flowers, parties, emotions.
and finally i am an architect, who has decided to slow down for a little while.

to have a wash and a primitive breakfast under a cloudy morning sky. 

one week to go.

[canon av-1] - the last picture is taken by anna. 

one week to go until i'll present my master thesis.
my nerves are on the outside and i get far too little sleep.

i'm doing my best to keep my thoughts somewhere else, but it's hard.
i dream of the past and the future and the past again, longing for this week to be over.
here are some dear memories from a hard summer.
five girls on bikes in åland.

åland with the decorated midsummer poles, the cardamom pancake and jam of prunes.
åland with the strawberries in the verges, the small kiosks and the mythical black bread.
åland with the red dirt roads, the kohlrabi and the very friendly people.
