On Flickr there are all sorts of inspiration. I´ve been admiring adamned_art for some time. One of the cool things she does is offer textures for use as long as you credit her back. Her textures are generally of very high quality. So this morning I downloaded this texture called leaking grunge and played around with it for a bit on an image taken i Borås earlier this year.

I might go on a texture hunt myself.
I was in Borås at Borås Djurpark because Eleonor Fredler who´s a veterinarian was going there to perform a gastroscopy on a Cheetah. We needed pictures! The atmosphere at Borås Djurpark was phenomenal! We were greeted and greatly taken care of. All in all a fantastic day even though the Cheetah had a troubled stomach.
The Cheetah is the fastest cat on the planet. His paws were more doglike than catlike. It was impressive to be in his presence, even when sedated. They used a blowpipe to sedate him in order not to stress him in any way. Seeing that vet going away with the pipe, silent like some ancient warrior was also impressive.
Changes in the making. I´ve had this blog many years, or, I´ve had this url for many years blogging in various forms. Trying different things. I also have a blog/site for my company Gef Design. The latter have been a bit neglected (not that I´ve been that frequent in the updates here either). I´ve always felt that 6ft5 have been a sort of online persona even though it matches my height irl.
In an effort to simplify things and perhaps widen things at the same time I have decided to blend business and online persona together. It´s still about images and design. I will mix English and Swedish, the blogging part will still be in English and the pure work related things will also be in Swedish.
This comes with a trial period where i will try and integrate things slowly. Bear with me meanwhile. I think it will all be for the better. Working on the design as well as to decide what goes where and why.
I like my online persona and the friends I´ve made through it and I think it´s a good idea to bring that together more with my professional life.
Any feedback is most welcome!
Ok, I´ll admint it. I am a sucker for nice Hotels. It doesn´t have to be expensive and luxury all the way but it does have to have personality. Sometimes being at a 5 star hotel is too much because I can´t relate to most people staying there. Cameron House is something else though. You don´t have to interact with other guests that much. You take a walk along Loch Lomond. Sipping a single malt in their whisky bar or maybe reading a good crime novel.
It´s a place to return to.
