In the distance

Listening to that song I can't avoid butterflies in my stomach. Especially now that we've just received the plane tickets to paradise. It's going to be hard waiting for November, at the same time I know time will pass in a blink of an eye. I do not wish to say where we're going; I am a little supersticious and I don't want anything to go wrong before the trip. I can tell you it's not *this place*, but I'm hoping it will feel just as perfect. (One thing is for sure; where we are going it's going to be a lot darker at 11p.m. than in these photos I took the other night. The atmosphere, though, I'm hoping to be the same.)

Tuota kappaletta kuunnellessani saan perhosia vatsaani. Nyt varsinkin, kun olemme juuri saaneet lentoliput paratiisiin. Edessä on pitkä odotus marraskuuhun, vaikka tiedänkin sen lopulta menevän silmänräpäyksessä. En halua kertoa minne olemme lähdössä; olen vähän taikauskoinen, enkä tahtoisi minkään menevän pieleen ennen matkaa. Sen voin kertoa, että kyseessä ei ole *tämä paikka*, mutta toivon reissun olevan vähintään yhtä täydellinen. (Yksi asia on varmaa; matkakohteessamme on yhdeltätoista illalla paljon pimeämpää, kuin näissä toissaillan kuvissa. Tunnelman toivon silti olevan samanlainen.)

  1. Se on muuten ihana tunne, kun takataskussa on lentoliput. Odotus on jotenkin jo puolet matkaa. Joten hyvää odotusta!

    ps Anna this is my 3rd time trying to reply to your lovely post
    but the word verification thing is driving me nuts
    Any chance you could switch it off, it is terrible
    especially for my eyes!

    1. Fiona - Oh you are so right about the word verification!! I really hate it, too, but I don't know how to get rid of it. I've been trying through the settings and the only place related to it will not turn it off anyhow. If you can help me out, I'd be forever grateful! :)

  4. Dear Anna,
    you make me so nosy... but I can understand you. So I'll be patient.
    You'll sell your Camera for a new one, right?!

    And, are there some news from the post-office because of the Schjerfbeck-stamp, Darling? If you tell me your address I could send you a stamp of the Blauer Reiter, with the blue horse of Franz Marc...?

    Love
    Ariane.

    1. Ariane - My friend, I forgot to send you a message last night! Would you e-mail me your address to annavee(at)mail.com and you will get a letter from me soon :)

      Yes, I'm planning on getting a new camera, but I decided to keep the old one for a little longer. I don't want to sell it until I have the new one in my hands, which could take until late autumn. :)

    1. ibb - I'm glad you are getting a few days off, too! Do you have any plans? I can't wait to tell you all where we're going, but I've decided to wait... :)
      For some reason Blogger is blocking your comments as trash mail, I have no idea why. So I'm sorry if it takes a while for me to notice them!

  6. Minä olen myös todella taikauskoinen matkojen suhteen, enkä uskalla niistä etukäteen puhua kuin aivan lähimmille ennen matkaa. Töissäkin vain huikkaan leveä hymy naamalla heipat enkä hiisku mitään, lähetän sitten kortin matkalta. Iloisen kutkuttavaa odotusta sinulle, nauti jo etukäteen ajatusten tasolla.

    1. Saga - Ajattelen asiasta samalla tavalla... Jotenkin tuntuu, että jos alkaisin reissusta puhumaan hyvin aikaisin tai paljon, tai liian monelle, jotain menisikin yhtäkkiä pieleen ja matka peruuntuisi. Hölmöähän se on... mutten silti halua riskeerata! :D Tarkalleen ottaen 3,5kuukautta täytyisi odotella, lähtöpäivä osuu lokakuun puolelle! :)

  7. The brightness of your photos is amazing and so special. Very nice.
    I'm curious ... I wonder where you will go ... if it's in France you will tell me ... but I don't think so. Not in November!

    1. Menthe Blanche - Somehow I prefer pitch black nights, but when I took these photos there was a magical moment of strange orange gloom in the middle of the gray, rainy evening. I, too, thought it was special.
      Our flight leaves at the end of October (27th to be exact), and I'm trying to keep our destination a secret until then! :D

    1. barbara - I fell in love with the song immediately! Future of Forestry was an unknown band to me, until I recently stumbled upon their music by accident. I've been listening to the whole album a lot lately!

      I can't wait to tell you about my trip, I hope time will fly by fast until the end of October! :)
