You! (A Picture/Media Thread) 33: The old you is dead, long live the you!

[BLC]

There's something intriguing with that downward triangle look, but I can't put my finger on what it is. For some reason, I'm imagining you're offering to take that ancient artifact off my hand for a hefty sum and a threat of what will happen to me if I don't agree to it.

Hahaha. Thank you. That was the kind of look I was going for.

A very tired selfie at Ropecon... because why be awkward and ask other people to take one of you when instead you can stand awkwardly at the entrance hall taking a picture of yourself.

The thing is, I don't look like myself at all in this picture. I even asked my mum and she was confused looking at the photos I took as well. Huh.

I just returned from a trip to what I call our ancestral farm (a 19th century farm which has stayed in our family for a few generations and which we now use as a holiday cottage), and while I mostly let my camera rest, I got a few pictures off it nevertheless.

Spoiler: Näset, Mellansjö

The farm lies by/in a lake, and while the beach by the house isn't particularly exciting, we can take the boat to a more proper beach. On one such day, we were playing with a wrecked boat someone had left at the beach, when we found coloured mud at the bottom of the lake. So we did the only reasonable thing and smeared it all over ourselves.


The mud was surprisingly water resistent. After another (by no means short) trip into the water to gather more mud, it was still fully visible, if a bit washed down. We managed to salvage some new colours, and here I'm sporting the four card suits because why not? If you look between me and little brother, you can see the balls of mud we'd managed to salvage lying on a wet piece of wood.


Before we went home to the farm again, we took the chance to perform some final drawing on ourselves with the best of the salvaged colours. Here are my two hand paintings.


The bird and the stripes were made from a good colour and lasted quite well before the final bits were worn off. The red suits also fared quite well, and you can see them just above my hands in this picture. The black suits faded quite a lot when they dried, but regained their colour when wettened, and we joked that you could almost use it as invisible ink on skin. It wouldn't be entirely perfect, though, as you can actually make out the spade as a dark shadow if you look just above the belt loop next to my star hand.


I brought my phone and Pokémon Go with me, and used it as a perfect excuse to do some exploration. I only found one Pokémon spawn point within a four kilometer radius, but a lot of great views in exchange. Here's a clearcut gaining its colour from heather, willowherb (colloquially known as "navvie's rose" in Sweden, as they thrived on the sites of railroad constructions) and reddened grass.


A view over the landscape from the same walk. In the distance, you can see the upstreams lake which supply our lake with most of its water.


The stream which once powered the local sawmill.



The local bluebell population around our house seems to carry a gene for white flowers which crops up every now and then. This year I found one such "whitebell".


And finally, no image series is complete without a dramatic sunset. Or rather, night sky, as this photo was taken at the darkest hour of the day.

Because Rawhide was totally whining for these... ok I joke, he kindly asked for pics of my grandparents' summer cottage. Here they are!

This is the view you get when you step out of the car.

The view from the path that takes you to the lake.

View to the lake. The ladder is in horrible condition though, so we had to have a bit of an adventure walking on rocks and hold on to the side of the pier. I almost slipped... Ah well, grandpa will probs fix it this summer. The stairs themselves are ok, but the bolts are rather worn out.

And of course, the sauna

The only pics I didn't really take where you can se the garage/woodshed and the outhouse... not too important. Plus the random pile of stuff made of wood under the veranda, though they might be visible in one of the pics...

And let's finish the post with a picture of myself. It's my birthday and my mid-20s crisis isn't helped out by my skin starting to break out within the last year. I had porcelain skin all of my teen years, damn it! *shakes fist*

You don't? I mean, I'm not used to seeing you in glasses, but otherwise I think you look quite like yourself...

Regardless of what, you at least look good, I'd say.

Ah, forgot to comment on Dire's post! I totally agree with Teddy. It's a lot of fun to watch these photos... feels like as if I was checking out a good ol' photo album

Ooo, pretty wildlife pictures! The length preserved of that root fossil is pretty astounding, and I must say that the concept of clorophyll-barked trees please me to the core. And there's something about the savageness of cactuses which makes the flowers even more beautiful than they would be stand-alone.

Just having some issues with privacy at the moment, so I'm feeling at bit


And yaaaaaay for Dire Moose photo albums!
That reminded me, my 5-year-old nephew drew the cutest dinosaur ever. An Euoplocephalus. Can't share it here, but it basically looks like a toast with a dino head and stick figure legs and a cool spikes coming out of its back. Not too far from the truth!

He loves dinosaurs so much. He usually never draws, he gets anxious because he feels like he's not good enough to draw... so it's a super duper joy that he drew the dino and feels super proud of it. And I'm so proud of him too!

Hmm, maybe I could show him some of your pictures at some point about dinosaurs and diggin' 'em bones.
