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.

Daily inspiration, autumn

It’s hard to believe that its autumn now. Especially with a weather that is better than the best Swedish summer day. It has been around 27-28 degrees most of the time or more. Trees & bushes are slowly changing their attire to a warm colourful version. I loved autumn back home but I think I prefer it here with the warm & pleasant weather – and those beautiful giant trees that are impressive in both size & colour.

Window view

What would a house be without windows, whether it is seen from the inside or the outside. The daylight is necessary of course. Perhaps important to keep an eye on the surroundings, at times. For me, a window is a welcome sight, with someone waiting inside. It gives the house character & identity. Many are the times I have walked in my various neighbourhoods where I have lived & looked at houses & through the windows.

Life from the inside seems interesting too, with the different seasons that flows by, creating different views. Like the other day with thunder & lightning that lasted for quite a while. It’s nice to be inside, then! A Window is a shelter from the outside world, if you want. Just as it is an opening to the world, when you want.

Daily inspiration, outdoor

A day off in the middle of the week with nice weather, it’s nice sometimes. Especially when I have a working weekend ahead of me. It’s been nice weather so I spent the morning on the terrace with breakfast, music in the background & a lot of magazines. I therefore thought that a nice picture of outdoor furniture would suit fine, a day like this. Wood & concrete with some white and grey – nice!

Daily inspiration, winter roads

I thought this image was very stylish. It is graphically interesting & appealing despite the simplicity of it. Moreover, not unlike winter roads after the first snow, before all vehicles pollute the beautiful white snow to a yellow slush. You know, when reality takes over. But in any case, nice image.
