After Rain Comes Sunshine ( and an Iphone-collage on top of that)
Today the sun didn´t shine in Encinitas. It was a cloudy day who made space for introspection. Even the beaches were empty, running barefoot on it. I guess californian people stay away as long as they can´t see the sun?
This weather was something that I appearantly needed. I found a space somewhere between my run on the 100 percent empty beach. And my visit at Encinitas Cafe, while the thunderstorm started in the streets outside.
A Iphone-collage. Instagram-frames.
As I ran on that empty beach I started to think about Sweden. I found a coloured leaf on my way to the shores, which even more reminded me of the autumn back home. My favourite season of all. After a shower I wen´t to Encinitas cafe where they have free wi-fi. I think I hade about 4.5 cups of coffee since the waitress kept coming back several times asking.
- Another cup of coffee?
- More water?
By the way: that scenario never happens in Sweden. That with the waitress.
I was sitting there for a long time - waiting for the rain to slow down a bit - before I finally took my bike home to the studio. I was soaked for the second time as the flashes lit up my surroundings. And happy. Alive. Other than that I have been concentrating myself on some personal projects planned before this trip. Pretty well this particular day. Drinking tea. Watcing the rain through windows, taking pictures of water, drops, covering the vegetations and objects in my surrounding.
The couch where I stay. The fan is necessary.
The glass-table in the patio covered in water and reflections.
Cozy day. Spent it at home a lot.
Tea, looking out of my windows from the floor to the ceiling.
A butterfly in glass right outside my studio. Although I really enjoyed this day I guess I wish for the sun to come back tomorrow. To make promises and happy thoughts grow. As when I took that bicycle-ride the other day down to Moonlight Beach. Volleyboll-players, sunset and satisfied human beings seemd to line up one after the other. Couldn´t choose one particular photo because it was like a movie-scene made out of still pictures for me. Like a light comic-book filled with water and sun and the ocean.
I can only hope for tomorrow. But I am confident that that particular star above my head is protecting me and leading me in the right direction. No matter what.
