hellocloud photography by Ken Lönnström bio picture

I love painting with words and describing life with pictures!

Born to this world screaming like everyone else, upset about leaving my safe and secure hidingplace. Where ever I looked there were unfamiliar things, peoples and expressions. Something was sounded in my so called ears, which I later understood were words. New places scared me.

As life has moved on I have come to realize that life really is meant to be lived the way you desire, no matter what. You and I, we can overcome all obstacles and live our dreams instead of just creating images of a different life.

At hellocloud you can read my travel stories, look at my photos and read some of my deeper thoughts or even perhaps some poetry. It will fulfill all my needs and hopefully you’ll find something worth reading or gazing at.

Stay happy!

Summer night in February

IMG_8440

I can’t understand that it is already February. Where have this last year gone? Last time we saw Sweden was when the flowers blossomed, the birds began to sing and the first warm days arrived. I remember everything so well. The Excitement – the Chaos – and then the Freedom. What always makes me sad is when you leave people behind that you love dearly and the last time you see them, is not the last time, though you won’t see them again for a long time. Also – you cannot be completely sure they’ll recognise you when you get back. Or that others change and grow up until you meet them the next time. At least, that’s the way I sometimes think.

In my opinion I haven’t changed that much. I am still childish sometimes and at other times too mature for my own age. Always been, but I have began wondering if my age and myself will catch up in a few years time. Maybe you don’t really understand what I mean, neither do I occasionally, but I’ve always been too mature. A little bit too serious in everything I have done and soon I won’t be too mature for my age. Then I will be in phase.

What will probably happen then is that I’ll become more childish from the passing years. I don’t mind. I kinda like being… just me. What about you?

Lost in the mist

IMG_7438

We did survive our 4000 km long trip from Melbourne VIC to Manjimup WA, which has been truly a remarkable trip. There is too much to say concerning this, especially now that we only have very limited Internet time. All we’ve had enough for is to just check our e-mails but not write anything. Sorry ’bout that!

This is just one of all the pictures I’ve taken through our six-days-journey. When we left the desert, the Nullarbor Plain, I did have a few tears in my eyes because I did not want it to end. That journey. Did not want to leave the Nullarbor, this spectacular scenery nor the great people living in the middle of nowhere.

One town we visited for fuel is called Madura. In Madura there are only six inhabitants. Then you probably understand how far from everything and everyone it is.

Today I began one of my new jobs. This one only last until tomorrow. On Wednesday I start my new career as a pruner which feels quite amazing. Really looking forward to it.

Please take care of you and don’t forget to drop by, promise I’ll update although I may not be available to write everytime.

Love makes the world go round.

Unknown road ahead of us

IMG_2878

Today we did actually find some fruitpicking work in a small town called Manjimup in Western Australia, only 4500 km away. In about one week we’ll begin our journey but first we have to get some big water containers, two new tires and enjoy our last few days in Melbourne together with our lovely Jen.

More about this in a few days time! However, if you are interested to see the road we’re going, click here for Google maps. As you probably can see on the map, there is a pit stop in a town called Coober Pedy… It’s a special place where people live underground due to the constant heat in the desert. Interesting place to photograph? I would guess so!

Good night to you all and stay happy. Also thanks alot for reading my blog. I really appreciate it.
