This morning David and I went on a little adventure. We were searching for a filming location and had quite a few criterias to pay mind to. I won't tell you all of them but it had to be a railroad track far away from cars, roads and houses. We started off at a place close to where I used to work some years ago because I thought I remembered the perfect spot for the scene we have in mind.
I came straight from a night at work and hadn't really thought about bringing my camera so all of these photos are taken with my iphone.
We walked along the tracks and found a crossing.
Testing, testing.
Nope, not good enough. We stood there pondering for a while and then we went back to the car to drive a bit further along the tracks.
This house was on the next, not perfect, stop. Love the grey and sad feel of this place. Who would want to play hoops there? Not me, anyway. But I don't like sports at all so maybe I'm not the right person to ask.
Then we had an idea! Jonsered! It's a small town just outside of Gothenburg and it's so so beautiful there. I think it's one of my favourite places in autumn. You will understand why soon.
Perfect autumn bridge.
Aaaah, the colours!
Man on the roof.
AND LOOK AT THIS!
This place has all the stuff I love to photograph in one spot. The autumn leaves, the bridge, the old industrial waterfall thingies with rust on.
Jonsered used to be a thriving town with lots of factories. Now it's very quiet but they still have use of their many waterfalls producing power.
We found the tracks right next to the beautiful lake but they were above ground! Oh no!
Turned around to walk back.
And then we almost walked past it!
It's perfect! Look how David's pointing. That's happy pointing!
Such a great feeling to have found the location we were looking for. We almost gave up there for a moment. I was really happy to have gotten a nice autumn walk as well and my phone battery was blinking like crazy so it was high time to go back home. A Lotta without any type of camera is not a happy Lotta. Wise words, my friends.
I'll end this post with a photo of a shy mountain holding in it's stomach for the stretched out arms of a curious, cuddly tree.
I helgen var jag och såg en konstutställning där en kvinna tagit massa bilder på tomma rum runt om i världen. Och på monument. Hade hellre sett dina foton på väggen, om jag ska vara ärlig.

Ps: Vad var det för utställning?

Tack mamma! Ja, det är verkligen spännande. Lite som att gå på skattjakt efter intressanta platser.

The trees and colors are beautiful! Amazing photos! I miss the changing of the seasons now that I live down south.

Thank you Kayla!
Yes, autumn is my favourite season because of all the pretty colours everywhere. I would love to live in a place with autumn all year round. :-) I don't think I could ever get bored of it.
Hello! So, the weekend was a total success! Our play went really well and everybody seemed to love it. Such an amazing feeling to know that we made this entire thing all by ourselves. Feels sad that it's already over but this was just the beginning for Teater Esther. We will definitely be back!
Now starts a completely different project for me. David and I have been writing on a screenplay for a drama comedy about three girls with different kinds of diagnoses who go on a road trip and get to know eachother better than they probably would like to.
We will be filming at the end of this month so it really is lots to do now. So exciting!
You can like our page on facebook if you want to. It is in swedish but we would love to feel your support wherever you are from! And we will post lots of photos of the progress.
Wiiiiii!!!
The leading roles of the movie are going to be played by Hanna Johansson, Lovisa Perman and me.
Imorgon klockan 14.30 på Svt2 visas första avsnittet av Davids animerade dokumentärserie Earth savers! Sex avsnitt som är 14 minuter långa med start imorgon alltså.
De kommer även finnas uppe på URplay så alla har möjlighet att se!
Väldigt roligt är också att en 8 minuter lång version av ett av avsnitten kommer visas på filmfestivalen i Göteborg med premiär på lördag!
David har jobbat hårt på detta i ett par år nu. Alla animationer, musik och ljudeffekter är Davids men rösterna är de intervjuade personernas riktiga. Dokumentären följer personer som arbetar för att göra världen lite bättre. Varje avsnitt är fristående och fokuserar på en person och det arbete han eller hon gör. Allt berättat med Davids fina kombination av vrickad humor och allvar.
Alltså, det här är en så sanslöst fin serie och ni får bara inte missa den. Hör ni det!? NI FÅR INTE MISSA!
Kika gärna in på Earth savers hemsida där man kan läsa mer, se små klipp och spela ett sköldpaddsspel som David har gjort!
Så! Nu ska ni få veta vad som händer med vår långfilm!
David har gjort en liten film där han berättar vad som är på gång och så finns det en liten presentation av mig också. Jag hoppas att Davids fans ska acceptera mig till fullo nu när det visar sig att jag är smått magisk...
