Här om kvällen gick jag ut till ett vindskydd i skogen vid en vacker liten tjärn och gjorde upp en eld. Jag tog med mig lite att äta och kokade kaffe över elden. En helt magisk kväll och natt. Och Nanook var minst lika glad över att komma ut sådär.

Jag filmade också under kvällen till ännu ett litet tävlingsbidrag för tävlingen till Yukon som jag är med i. Tyvärr kunde jag inte ladda upp filmen på Instagram så jag fick istället filma min skärm och lägga upp den, så det blev ganska dålig kvalitet. Men jag hoppas att folk går in här på bloggen också för att se den långa version i HD kvalitet. Min långa text fick inte heller plats i mitt instagram-bidrag så jag skriver den här också, på engelska.
Ni får hemskt gärna gå in och kolla på mitt bidrag, och “lika” den om ni tycker om den.
Som sagt, så kan jag fortfarande knappt tänka på annat än Yukon. Det vore en stor dröm att få åka iväg på den här resan.

Så här kommer den, min film och min önskan ♥

“Sometimes, when I wish for something, i like to write it down on a piece of paper, and throw it in the fire. I like to think that the smoke will carry away my wish so that someone, or something will make it come true. But I only do that when I want something really, really deep from my heart. I know it sounds crazy. And maybe I am a little crazy. But i love to visualize. And for many years I have been dreaming about visiting a place like the Yukon.

So, why do I want to go to the Yukon? As you see, I can’t really get it out of my head. It feels like this great opportunity coming into my life, just at the right time. An opportunity that effect me on so many levels. I think it is beacuse this trip to Yukon seems to have it all. A trip to the land of my dreams combined with all this fun and exciting things. Exploring this pristine wilderness, and doing it together with two people that truly would make this trip to something beyond any other trip. I would love to share our experiences and learn from each other. To spend a week in the most inspiring environment that would bring to life another dimension in my photography. A place so different from where I live. Thousands and thousands of miles away from my home.

You know when you love to do something so much that it just dosnt matter anymore if you can make a living out of it or not. You just have to do it, beacuse thats what you live for. I felt that feeling since five years ago, when I quit my studies, left the apartment and citylife to live closer to the nature. When I listened to my heart, things just started happening. It brought life to the creativity inside of me.
Its been a rocky road. Up and downs. Cold winters. Hard work. But every single day I feel grateful for living the kind of life i do, and that I have found something that I feel so passionate about that nothing can take it away from me. Beacuse no matter what, I have the love for what I do.
To win this trip would be a huge inspiration in my life. A huge step right into the direction that I want to go. It would light the fire to things that I have tried to catch fire for a long time.
I want to go to the Yukon because I want to stand there, on a mountain top, with the wind in my hair. Tasting the air and feeling the earth under my feet. I want to stand there, talking about the view with @Wisslaren and @Namkcaps, to the sound of our camera shutters bledning in with the silence of wilderness.
I want to stand there with a smile on my face thinking ”After all this years, I made it to the Yukon. And i know that i should never ever doubt that any dream can come true, no matter how big it is. If i can make it to Yukon, I can do anything”

I want to see the nature, the landscape, the trees and the rivers dancing like wild spirits. I want to see the animals, the valleys, and the open skies. Driving on an endless road through the Yukon scenery. I want to breath in the culture and learn about the history, the art and the golden dreams. I want to feel the crystal clear water in the lakes and hike trough the land of the moose, the midsnightsun and the northern lights.

I want to wake up in the sunrise, take a silent walk and feel the morning air of a new land. A whole new world to me. I want to stand there, on a mountain top, with the wind in my hair and listen to the heartbeats of the Yukon.”
