{mushrooms love}

Hurray, finally, my dream of hunting mushrooms in the Swedish countryside came true. My host families took me out into the forests and here came my first 'autumn gold' experience: I was picking chantarelles! And right after our mushroom hunting my hostmom gathered the chantarelles, sauted them in oil and garlic and served them on Swedish hardbread (knäckebröd)...yummmmmyyyy....!

But wait, not only the chantarelles I was up for, but all kind of mushrooms that could be found in the forests that time - for the delights of my camera! :D I was particularly fond of what I called 'the storybook mushrooms' - you know, the fantastic red mushroom with white dots on it...very beautiful but alas, poisonous, too... but my camera loves them of course, and also other kinds of mushrooms and the autumn forests. Captured in my camera's memory card, they are so very nice souvenirs from the Swedish countryside.

Voilà some pictures for your inspiration...

really liked it walking here


drops of water trapped in cobweb


these mushrooms look like microphones :-)

Back in Jakarta

Hello hello!
I'm back in Jakarta after spending 3 weeks of a very inspiring trip (work + play combined) in Sweden. Somehow I realised why I loved it so much what I saw there. Red, yellow (and the color in between: orange), and a dash of green and blue are my favorite colours, so you can imagine how spoilt my sights were during that 3-weeks trip: red and yellow cottages, lush greens turning into yellow, orange and red, lovely blue sky and water. Below are some pictures for eye candy:
