“å” means “river” in swedish and “ö” means “island” in swedish. that is all.

here we go!

i couldnt sleep, so a short walk to the local 24hr for some choclate and an orange chubba chip lolly. i leave the front door of my apartment building and i look up. orion is sitting there looking back.

i saw a show a few years back on bbc i think. it was all about the secrets of the pyramids. one of the theories goes that the three stars in the middle are the three of the biggest egyptian pyramids. with the outer four ones being four more remote smaller pyramids in egypt. they all matched up, with the milky way representing the river nile.

its so nice to be able to live here, only a few minutes from the city centre, and be able to look up and straight away see so many stars. a larger uncropped version here: [link]
