Orange

Orange has great warmth when it’s in the right shade. It’s cool together with red, pink & cerise colours. The contrast can be exciting. Orange usually makes me think of carrots, pumpkins & apricots. It is between red & yellow & generally associated with extroverts, fire, activity, danger & the autumn season. It is an important symbolic colour of Buddhism & Hinduism. But today, it’s an orange theme basically because of Halloween.

On the way

Cars are not an interest that I have but I can still appreciate the design, shape & colour, of course. Especially the older models. Somehow it feels as if it was more focus on appearance in the “old days” – or is it just nostalgia that attracts, maybe. It’s by all means a lot of fancy cars today but the older classic models, they last forever, with its timeless splendour. Black is always neat or grand in some way but the bright red colour, I’ve always associated with sports cars – it has something to do with the energy & speed … I guess!

Beach feelings

Now, it’s not really beach time or season at this time of the year. Although we have warm days, the water would be a bit too cold – at least for me. But we can be on the beach all year round, of course, this lifestyle is undeniable. We usually take our bikes to the beach to stroll along the water, barefoot, to just enjoy the peace that it brings. The coffee shop at the corner of our favourite beach is open a few hours per day during the two “coldest” months & it is soothing to sit with the face towards the sun that still warms & just enjoy the moment. / bungalowclassic.tumblr.com Barbados beach somewhere / dontcallmebetty.tumblr.com / flickr.com / flickr.com:photos:mychatham / Etsabild AB+46 8 644 90 06info@etsabild.se / sunsurfer.tumblr.com / stylemepretty.com enmiespaciovital.blogspot.coml / enmiespaciovital.blogspot.com / dustjacketattic.blogspot.com.au / wenty-somethingblog.com / pinterest.com:beachcomber / malinconialeggera.tumblr.com fancy.it / fancy.com / sittinginthesand via tumblr.com / tomvmorris via fancy.com

Street art

We are hired as private drivers, part-time, usually involuntarily & unprepared – I may not have told you that! It’s various activities, dinners, gigs & other we are asked to drive our boys to, and it’s unpredictable. To put it nicely – we get to see places we otherwise wouldn’t. Different suburbs, neighbourhoods & areas where they usually meet with friends.

So in other words, inspiration from the streets today – it’s not about aesthetics, it’s about peoples creativity. The way people can change the street scene, not through architecture but by being ingenious in a simple, down to earth-way. What’s exciting is that it can turn up anywhere & unexpected. It makes me think about the person behind & the reasoning. I call it street art, where others might look at it as clutter or graffiti…perhaps.
