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

Ken and Jenny goes pimpervan!

What do you think? Isn’t he a beauty or what? :) We drove late last night and found, at last, a rest area between Matamata and Rotorua where we put up our camp. We slept for eleven hours, after that eventful day which has come to be known as ‘one-of-the-longest-life-sucking-days-so-far-in-our-lives’.

A one way ticket to Frankfurt please

IMG_0877

There were some sort of anticipation in the air when we left the hostel early on the Thursday morning. We were going to New Zealand in a mather of hours, which is to say the least, quite awesome.

Our arrival to the airport was pleasant, we even found a parking after ten minutes searching. Even the bus ride from the parking lot felt calm which suited our early morning behaviour with yawns.

Needless to say, the calm did not last very long. And neither did this Internet time. We have to go now, but reassure that in worst case scenario I’ll be arriving in Frankfurt in October on the worlds most expensive ticket.

Lots of love.

ps. The picture has nothing to do with the text, except to set the mood on things. The red letters on the wall reads: “Prohibited to cross the rail.”

Soul of a legion made with sounds

IMG_9962

A song. One single song, is all that is needed to get you to remember forgotten times or memories. Some of them make you cry and others make you laugh with happiness. I’ll give you some examples to get yourself started!

  • 2 Unlimited – No Limit
    Makes me remember all kinds of crazy things from this year, especially when me and a few mates went crazy in an Audi during Easter.
  • Linkin Park – A Place For My Head
    School trip with my Spanish class in 9th grade. “No-one” had heard of Linkin Park at that time and I bought the pirate copy of  ”Hybrid Theory” from a big, dark, african fellow on the beach who claimed it to be an original. I liked the cover. This song was Lars-Daniels favourite at the time.
  • Staind – How About You, Zoe Jane, Could It Be
    Summer of 2006 with my old Golf VR6. These songs reminds me of how it felt, crawling down into the car on a sunny day, turn the ignition key and hear the car vroar. Can even remember the way the car smelled, how the gear shift felt in my hand and how the air condition cooled everything. Just cruising around.
  • Howard Shore – Helm’s Deep from The Two Towers
    Sharing my double bed with two-three guys and one girl after the premiere in the night. If I remember correctly, we had school the day after and were a bit sleepy. :) But I was lucky and snuggled up with one of the guys!

We are with Beetle!

IMG_3651

His name is Herman. He’s an awesome, totally relaxed dude who really enjoys a luxurious massage containing valve adjustment and some poking on the carburetor. The three of us (me, my better half and Jenny) will in a few months travel around Australia. If you want to join for a road trip, just write. We’ll pick you up!

Kancoona Valley

This is just a short message from a computer connected to the internet through a satellite modem. We are alive and well. There is no cell phone signal here so you cannot really reach us. I’ll write soon again, but now we are to prepare lunch for a few people.

Take care and stay happy!

ps. The above picture was taken just before we were picked up in a small town called Myrtleford. Right now we surely live outside of the civilization.

Into the world

IMG_8841

In this very moment both me and my lovely girlfriend are nervous. Don’t really know why, but it might have something with the fact that we are sitting on a airplane in less than 19 hours. Where are we going? Melbourne, in Australia, the place where beautiful graffiti colour everybodys surroundings.

St. Kilda is the place where we will live for a week or two and hopefully we’ll find some fruitpicking jobs during our stay there. We are quite mobile and can travel anywhere in order to get a job.

This is gonna be so great and wonderful. Have been waiting for this moment for some time now, since that day when I left Australia. Yesterday we asked ourselves if we were ready. But the real and true question is, is the world ready for us?

Keep in touch and don’t forget to stay happy and live like every moment is the last.

And oh by the way, to keep up the good spirit like the last time I left for Australia, I hereby give you a scenario to fantasize about.
