... so we developed our own sign language

First man i saw in Norway

After two weeks, we crossed the Swedish border en started our Norway-discovery. 

Really strange how this country border also seems a border between different sceneries.

From calm lakes, green hills and fir woods to the wild nature of Norway: 

high mountains, wild waterfalls, and men fishing in stormy rivers in the pouring rain. 

On the sketch it seems more idyllic, it looked much more dangerous than this. I need some practice in how to stop making things seem cute and nice in my sketches..)

a strange camping hierarchy

i never used to go camping a lot
but last month i gained some camping experience.
it was cosy, 
and nice to be like a snail and have your home with you.

but it's also a whole new world of its own, 
a world of (above all) mobile homes, caravans and campers
of noisy gatherings, barbecues and 
paying too much money for too dirty showers,
and where there is (strange enough, i think) only little space for little tents..

snowy mountains #3

snowy mountains #2 + motorcycle

Snowy mountains #1

on swedish roads

after a day of driving (from Mora to Östersund, central Sweden),

and drinking coffees in cosy road restaurants 

and trying to spot a bear in the woods (while sitting on the back of the motorcycle), 

i draw this landscape.

it was a spectacular view that day:

enormous woods, deserted roads,

some snowy mountains far away, a few lakes and little rivers,

and once in a while some red houses.

oh, i love sweden.
