Into the wild

I knew it would rain - hell it rained just fifteen minutes prior to my departure. Now I'm back home again with damp hair and sore shoulders. Don't ask me why, but I had to go for a ride on my bicycle this evening before it got dark. The air was filled with water particles all the time and it looked so beautiful the mist-like haze above the trees in the forest. I would've taken a picture, but my phone didn't reflect what I was seeing so I gave up.
Suddenly I felt the urge to abandon my bike and walk into some forest near the road I was driving along. I went further and further into the forest and tried to forget myself and be in the moment. Atop the hill in a evergreen forest then a valley of leafy trees leading to human interference. Cut-down trees, dead timber and spoiled soil. Such a sad sight for sore eyes.
Suddenly I spotted her though. She was right there in the middle of once-was-such-a-tall-forest-but-now-merely-timber. The female deer wasn't even 50 meters from me and hadn't noticed me at all. I stopped and watched her. Waiting for her to spot me which surprisingly took quite a while. The dripping from the rain must have been my advantage.
She spotted me and did the oddest little moves with her head. I figure she was trying to determine whether or not I made a threat to her. After a while she wandered off into the forest, but as I moved she ran for it.

Such a magical moment.

Here's a little 10 second video I made:

Traveling bike

Grabing my bike by the handlebars. Riding into the sunset the last rays of a spring day stinging my skin. Riding fast, faster, faster even. Sudden stop! Look at the scenery! So pretty and peaceful. Who knew the industrial area could be this beautiful?

On the road again. Riding past warehouses, trees and semi-forests. Take a turn ride down the road hit a dead-end and turn around. Look to your right. The gravel road seems oddly welcoming. Ride fast feel the uneven terrain and notice your head and hands shake as you propel through nature faster than you could ever control. 

And then you've hit yet another dead-end. Unless you wish to continue along the highway. Turn around and take another gravel road. It appears to go on forever. Taking me further and deeper into the forest. The smell. The unmistakable smell of the presence of cows. There! Between the trees to the right. 

Get off. Look around. Run like a manic person through tough terrain. Sudden movement ahead. Deer scared by my retarded energy outburst. Run with it. Feel the euphoria grab you as you run while the feeling of getting tired increases for every step you take. 

Back to the bike. Fast, faster beehives. Abandon bike and walk the end of the forest. Eat a leaf and become part of nature.    

Disregard normality acquire bruises

There's a skip in my step.. And I don't know why!

Birds are singing, the sky is blue, te sun is warm and everything's just GREAT!
I had some time to kill today before work. So I decided to skip down the road and see where things would take me. Suddenly the bush to my right looked interesting and I decided to go that way. I crossed a little water stream and suddenly I was on an adventure! A few meters away I noticed this abandoned shack/trailer thingy. Curiosity killed the cat as we've all been told, but nevertheless I've never been able to control mine. I had to take a look!
It was bolted and trash was everywhere inside from what I could see through the crack in the door and the broken windows. Then I left.
A little way away from this I found a tent. A little green tent pitched in the middle of nowhere.

Snöleoparden

Snow. Snow and lots and lots of it! This was my morning.
I was so happy at first, but then I thought about the one thing I had planned this day: Running. Damn. But as it turned out it was a very pleasant run afterall. Great turnout considering the weather conditions and I finished the 5k in 31 minutes which I think wasn't too bad :)
Slippery as shit though!

I looked at the snow. What a waste it would be if I just placed myself in front of a screen and relaxed. So I granbed my phone and made a plan with my friend. Going sledging and forrest exploring!
I showed her my all time favorite place in the area I live. It's so secluded and extremely beautiful when it snows (or has snowed). I love the place. It's a little forrest in the fields. In the middle it has a lake and fox holes in the hill. When inside the trees block out every sound and all you hear is your own breath and the birds.

Lovely snow. How it muffles the sounds of the world and creates a time in space where everything is silenced. A state of perfection.
