#97 Mirette

Sunny late September. We lured next door friends Mirette and Jonas to Källhagen for nothing more than wasting time in the last rays of summer. A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

#96 Boys will be boys

If we hadn’t been expected elsewhere and the sun was setting, I think he’d still be on that beach throwing countless amounts of rocks gently and monotonously into the open sea. I get him. I really do.

#95 Square Diner

Olle Nordell — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 09:04:29 +0000

We never really figured out whether the diner actually was square. Or even rectangular. But it was there when we needed it. At 7 am. 33 Leonard St, tribeca, NY.

#94 Super bride

Can’t help returning to the summer wedding we attended in June. Just look at her.

#93 Flat iron

Now I know why the flat iron building is such a commonly photographed architectural body through history. It sits right next to the natural resting spot for all power tourists covering Manhattan by foot. Whether you’re heading south or going north there’s a little plaza where your ass hits the granite sofas while reaching for the Evian in the day pack. Gurgling an “oh it’s hot today” you throw your head back and whoop there it is: The Flat Iron Building. Click.

#92 Air borne

Olle Nordell — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:26:32 +0000

Huge jump. Big air. Very wet landing in the sea.

#91 Cat on a hot tin roof

Olle Nordell — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:58:09 +0000

In line to the ferry. Waiting. Which is an event kids don’t usually excel in. But they manage. That’s what they do.

#90 Patrik and Inez

Friendship. Let’s just say that I’m not totally convinced in the general awesomeness of the whole concept of keeping people so close, that you at some point risk the inevitable notion of disappointment. People think this line of thought is nuts, and the only broadly accepted attitude is to collect as many friends as your lifetime will hold. Also, in the inner shell of your circle of trust, it is widely believed that a small and tough core of so called best buddies is for the benefit of any human life. At dinner parties, people next to me swap seats as I randomly build innocent arguments for the fact that we cannot rule out the possibility of life forms without friends existing somewhere out there. And that these life forms could actually survive and live healthy, happy lives. Lately, my theories have been under fierce attack from a hugging fire storm called social media, with facebook and twitter in leading roles. Friendship isn’t just a human concept anymore, it’s gone digital. The more the merrier seems to be the only path ahead. God bless those accounts with dropping friends stats. But. And it’s a big but. Internet and the highly questionable opinion of the general public aside, my own conclusion in the matter is that, sure, friends are great. As long as they are as cool, wise, witty and un-suffocating as Patrik. Today I keep a number of friends like this. The power proved too overwhelming to stand up to. And, you may like to know, having friends is a daily joy. It puts life into perspective, and also, you won’t have to drink alone. I highly recommend it.
