In Stockholm we have a pedestrian street called Drottninggatan where the city council have put down famous quotes in shiny steel. This is a picture from earlier today on my way to work when the streets were still pretty empty.
Music for Tuesday – What a combo!
I saw an old pic from the moon today. At first it’s “just” Amazing because, well there’s the surface of the moon.. remarkable(!) …. but then, HEY… there’s the earth rising over the hill (!!), with all of us being just there; on that little “ball” in space.
I’ll keep my spirits high and hope that I’ll live to be able to see an “earthrise” someday.
Anyway, what an amazing shot this is!
This video is from Conan last week where Louis C.K were talking about social media and Twitter. Some interesting points here! 🙂
Yesterday Paulo Coelho wrote something at his Facebook-page that I truly believe in, and he wrote it in such simplicity (maybe that’s why he is a writer and I’m not? 🙂 ) that I just felt I had to comment on it.
“I stopped to self-improve myself many years ago. The idea that “the great opportunities lie just over the horizon, in the next valley, with the next job or the next big thing” is not true. It lies here and now – and you are ready to grab it, regardless your imperfections.”
– Paulo Coelho
For me this is the sweet spot, a home run and a grand slam of what I believe in when it comes to happiness and life.
I think that we often try to find happiness in so many things and ways, that “are not”, instead of just accepting ourselves as we are, and with our own capabilities. Today there is a huge Happiness-industry that make a living on telling us how to live our lives, how we should be, what we shall believe in and so on, instead of just letting ourselves believe in and being in our own present.
… guess happiness never will be a quick solution, it’s an ongoing fight to be here right now and appreciate what we got, instead of what don’t. It’s never easy but I truly believe in not thinking to much, and be thankful for what we got, and the cures for our happiness that are on sale in the nearest store, very rarely brings any happiness at all; in the marathon we call life.
I found this clip at xworldmusics blog. I’ve seen beatboxers before, but this guy is just amazing!

Since this weeks posts mainly is from the Gläntan beach in Piteå I thought that these songs might fit well into the other material.
First one is a great song from Deportees, Islands and Shores! It’s one of those rare songs that first is ok – good, and for every play it just get’s better.
The second one is from an upcoming artist from Piteå, Ludwig Hart.
Hope you enjoy!
This might seem as a weird shot but what I liked about it was the melting and matching colors between the sunrise and the rusty nail. Maybe it’s just me that has a weird taste, taking photos of things like this? or maybe not. 🙂

Soft and beautiful
As some of you might know I’m totally addicted to new apps in my iPhone, and quite frankly I’m surprised how often I use many of these apps. The last time I counted I had 540 apps installed, and it’s increasing almost every day. A little embarrassing, isn’t it?
It’s very rare that such an app-addicted person as me finds a list with totally new apps, this great top-100 list is doing just that! Go ahead and check it out! Best iPhone-list I’ve seen so far.
As the readers of this blog already know, I’ve spent the last weekend in my home town, Piteå. A weekend that promised some, but delivered a lot. Met some old friends, spent time with my family, had a Palt-dinner (local course) and also had an amazing photo session on saturday.
Since we had cloudy weather on friday (and to be honest I also felt terrible due to my cold) I didn’t expect much for saturday, but what a day it turned out to be.
This is my first posting from that day.
Hope you enjoy!
