Hej hej!
I'm back!
On tuesday and wednesday last week I was filming my scenes for Lights Out and it was AWESOME! I had so much fun and I loved every second of it. I might show you some pictures in a while, if I can be bothered.
Today though I'm going to share a million photos of sunsets over mountains. Among other things.

When Lights Out was wrapped David and I had the rest of the week off and we were in dire need of some serious relaxation.
So we rented a big cabin in the mountains, at Lake Arrowhead, and spent thursday to sunday there.
And it was heaven.
We both got a cold, because our bodies could relax for the first day in weeks, but it was still the best weekend ever!
We got a glimpse of what our retired lives might look like when we're old and grey. Amazing, is the word.
Let's take a look, shall we?
These are mostly shot with my Nikon D7000 but I'm sneaking some iPhone photos into the mix as well.

When we checked out the cabin we realised the balcony on the middle floor would be our hangout for the entire stay. Because this was the view.
It was about to rain and the clouds and sun we're making weird shapes in the distance.

You see what I mean about Retired life? We will find ourselves a cabin somewhere with a nice view and sit there in our recline chairs for ever. I have no doubt.

An hour later it looked like this. *cue the angel choir*

Houses on the opposite mountain.

And then this. (This is an iPhone photo by the way. Mind blown.)
So soft and fluffy and soooooooft.

Just so beautiful!
(Are you tired of mountain views yet? Sorry, there's more...)

The morning after we both woke up with a cold. David talked with his family and friends back home in Sweden. Infront of the mountains.

Because THIS.

In the afternoon we went out on a tiny adventure to see more of the mountain roads.

And I took some iPhone self portraits.

This was close to a shooting ranch and signs said it was a No Parking zone. But we're rascals...

After a while we got hungry. So we drove to Sky Forest and had sandwiches at the Hungry Bear.
Don't you just love the names? Sky Forest must be the prettiest village name ever.

That's a Hungry Bear.
The guy taking our order asked us if we were "Locals? Veterans? Or just Cool People?" because he wanted to give us a discount. We agreed to the cool people. We also got free cake pops. And the guy had the best eyebrows I've ever seen.

They sure love their Cabin Chic style...

We drove randomly and stopped at a place called the Rim of the World.

The view was spectacular.

Took a Panorama with my iPhone to get all of the view into one photo.

And we were cute, if a bit tired.

Back at the cabin in the trees.

In time for another beautiful sunset.

I went out to catch the golden light with my iPhone and gorillapod.

I had a perfect view of David drawing and the mountain sunset from my seat.

I like the trees on top of the mountain. They look so cute, and almost painted there.

When it got dark we played Jenga.

And then, close to midnight, we went out on the deck and sat in the hot tub under the starlit sky, and it was magical with the sounds of the forest all around us and the clearest stars I've ever seen above us. No photos of that because it was completely dark outside.

On saturday I could really feel my cold. I sat under a blanket reading for a couple of hours (looking white as a sheet in the face).

We did nothing all day and then in the early evening we went to Stone Creek Bistro and ate a great meal as a sort of "End of the weekend away dinner".

When we got back to the house the sunset was coming. This is the view from the top floor/loft. That window wall was so amazing!

I decided to take some self portraits with the Nikon camera for a change. I got a new fixed lens for the camera (This one if you're curious) and I wanted to try it out with the self timer.

This place makes you feel tiny.

Doing some dancing.

And then one with the iPhone, for instagram.

Look at that smokey blue in the distance!

The gas stove was perfect for toasting marshmallows.

Uh Oh!

Then on sunday it was time to leave. I went out to get a photo of one of the HUGE pine cones there. I kinda wanted to bring one with me, but this one was lying in someones garden so I didn't dare to take it. Pineapple sized pine cones! Size 9.5 foot for reference.

Post card view before leaving for LA.

And I'll leave you with this cute as hell photo of David and me on our way to the cabin. The gorillapod is sitting on the car door, if you're wondering.
I love the 70's feel of this photo. And I love that man. So very much.

Hope you liked this glimpse into our weekend away and that you didn't get too tired of all the mountain photos, haha!

Talk to you soon!
