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!
Ken Lönnström

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?

Have a safe journey

In seven hours time my friend Veronica is leaving from Stockholm on a well deserved vacation to Thailand. She will be gone for two weeks with one of her amazing friends. All of which made me think of this picture.

It is taken in Brisbane in September 2008, only a few weeks before my beloved came to Australia for the first time. I remember that it was one of those rare nights that seems to be filled with some sort of magic. With me, were my German mate mARTin and my friendly Irish room mate James. Both of whom I miss a lot. Quite a lot to be frank. We were just strolling around the park with our cameras, trying to catch some glimpses of the night life.

Isn’t it funny how some people you meet, only for a fraction of ones life, can make such a huge impact on everything? Honestly, what would life be without friends?

Time just passes

IMG_6905

The last two weeks we’ve had such a bad luck regarding our journey to Western Australia and with the preparations. Every day there have been new delays which we begin to find exhausting, mostly because we are not directly responsible for these time-pushers.

Just too many things to count really and some of them are still pushing the time, like a bulldozer moving rocks ahead of it through a very long tunnel.

I am however very happy to have such wonderful friends. The above picture was actually taken more than a year ago in Brisbane when out walking with one of my best friends mARTin, whom I miss dearly and think of daily. Click here to read the blog post from last year.

It will probably take us one more day before we go on our long road trip, because of – you guessed it – unnecessary delays.

Tonight is one of those nights. One of those that turn your breath into mist. One of those lovely nights filled with silent contemplation. Understanding. And at the same time not, since you have more questions than ever. Questions none but you can comprehend nor answer. This is a special night, surrounded by an overwhelming sensation of something out of the extraordinary. Tonight, is one of those nights where it seems like your life is painted only with stars on the non-existing roof of the Earth. Where every breath you take seem to move the world. Or better put, the world take deep breaths with you. Good night world… And good morning!
