Fir Trees, Farmlands & Sea
Today, I drove back to Smögen. On the drive home I stopped off at IKEA for some art inspiration, and then I went to Naturkompaniet to research camping and outdoor gear. I used to love camping and hiking as a young teen. I spent a few weekends camping in Wales; living in a tent with my school friends, and spent my days canoeing, swimming in the Welsh lakes, jumping off rocks, and grilling dinner by the fire. These are some of my best memories from childhood. So while I was at the store I bought my first grill set to start simple. I think when the weather gets warmer I'll car camp by a lake here in Sweden. The thought brings me peace.
Here come some pictures...
The art section of IKEA is my favourite section ♥︎
After my shopping trip, I took a detour. I just saw a road and thought to myself, "I wonder what is down there?" I had nowhere to be and no responsibilities except to make it home safely. I am a curious person at heart, and love to feel guided down little paths in life. Anyway, I ended up driving down a dirt road for about 10 minutes until I reached an old barn, a beautiful lake and tall rocky "mountains" (if you can call it that). I desperately wanted to fly my drone but the land felt private. Some barns were abandoned and looked a bit spooky. I suddenly felt like I was trespassing. I took some quick pictures and retraced my steps home. It was a beautiful drive, and once I was closer to familiar territory, I jumped out the car and flew my drone a little bit. This is one of my favourite spots on the drive home. I don't know what makes it special to me. It's just the feeling I get when I drive by this place. Farm lands, sea water, inlets, rocky mountains, cows, horses, and a little red house. I'm sure I was a Viking farmer in my past life.
