Day 24 - "Deep Waters"

The blue in this made me think of water. I have always loved to be around lakes and oceans. As I grew up I lived right by Vättern - Sweden's second largest lake. After a five minute walk I would be right at the beach, which was great fun in the summertime! I remember that when I was a small child, my father and I used to walk down to the marina to look at the boats. Funny how you remember little things like that just by looking at a picture, I haven't thought of that for ages! Nowadays I live further up the hills but I can see the lake from my window, and sometimes I walk down to that little marina to shoot (that's actually my parents in this picture).

One of the highlights each Thursday is taking the train into town before work. The railway runs right by the waterside and the view is just as stunning each day. In many ways Vättern has always reminded me of an ocean. It is so large you can't see the other end, and just like an ocean it has a lot of different moods.

Day 10 - "Old and New"

There's an area of my hometown - or well, the next town (they're so close you can't even see where one begins and one ends, I tend to think of them as one) - with these really old brick buildings. I like the traditional architecture very much and the bricks makes an interesting subject to shoot. The only modern things they've added are these large letters to indicate which building is which.

The different textures of old and new caught my interest today as I was on my way to one of my favorite lunch places. There's a great little restaurant in the area that has the best fish and chips in town(-s haha). I love Thursdays - Thursdays are when I get to eat lunch out, with Mr :D
