There are some who loves forest walks & it is by all means very nice, occasionally. Then there are those who love the sea & it’s also not too bad. But I love the city life. The noise, the cars, petrol fumes, concrete, congestion, stress, not to mention all the little holes in the walls with variations of coffee shops & restaurants. Yes guys, I am a devoted city dweller 🙂

It would be exciting to know what the story is behind this lighthouse. The aging, wear, wind & weather only makes the house more beautiful, more charming, more interesting. Just as with people who have lived, worked & loved, those who lived their lives to the fullest or who just wanted to have a simple & uncomplicated lifestyle. It’s amazing when you can see traces of life in the buildings as well as in humans. It is for me, what life is all about. Long live the natural aging process, in everything.

Facades are amongst one of the best things I know. It’s a special feeling in my stomach when I see fine facades, whether they are contemporary, traditional, worn or whatever, really. I have spent loads of time, wandering around in different cities or streets to experience architecture regarding facades along streets & squares. It can be charming old houses, old schools, newly manufactured wooden houses, factories stately or just square ones, without decoration. Facades says a lot about us humans, through different epochs. It’s nice to play with the idea of how people living inside are & what they do. But let’s leave that thought for another time.

Bleak images does not sound particularly inspiring, do they? I guess some might find these a bit depressing. Is it a suitable description? I just felt that I wanted something less colourful & more dramatic. The lighting, colour selection & props, enhances the atmosphere in each image. I’m aware of that everything doesn’t have to be bright & colourful to be perceived as interesting or exciting.
It feels liberating, for my part, to ignore the otherwise ordinary images that I usually choose. You know, you have your style & your preferences which you sometimes unconsiously bases your choices on. A style whom you have a weak heart for. Well, since some friends said I’m very Scandinavian in my taste, I thought I might try to challenge my self. But just so you know, this type of images are not my cup of tea 🙂

I happen to like simple square box-shaped houses & buildings. I like the simple shape that showcases exactly what you see without fuss. Angles & crannies are not my melody even if I do appreciate it because of its intermittency & charm…when it’s old, used & lived in. But, it’s like it is with preferences. And still, with a straight shape, it can look so different & express so much, that it’s hard to believe. Anyway, I thought you might like a post about nicely box shaped houses.
