"For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it."
- Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Animated film by David OReilly. Heartbreaking.

Passionate Dialogue

A short film by Czech surrealist artist Jan Svankmayer. This is "Dimensions of a dialog Part 2: Passionate Discourse" (1982). His work is brilliant. Check out "Darkness light Darkness" (1989) and "History of Nature" (1967) at Youtube.

Home is where people understand you

My lovely friend Sophie made a photo collage of her stay in Mwanza, Tanzania. My second home. I really miss this city. And this girl.

Virtual daydreaming

Life at Senja can feel a bit isolated sometimes. While growing up here I used to daydream a lot about leaving home to experience the world. Today I have been teleporting myself to random destinations all over the world using Globe Genie . It's like a virtual version of my childhood daydreams.

Music Song Video

Another video by the Mixtape club. I really like their work. So simplistic and delightful.

This vidoe makes me want to play my Kalimba again !

Unattainable

A very special person introduced me to this BEAUTIFUL video some months ago. It is the result of a unique collaboration between Salvador Dali and Walt Disney. The project began in 1946 but was not completed until 2003.

It reminds me of all the sadness/loveliness in this world.

Feel. Cry. Smile. Enjoy.

Evolution

Unbelievable.
