On my way through a forest a few days ago I suddenly heard someone playing the flute. I stopped and followed the sound, and after a minute or so I saw this woman standing by the trees. This is Gudrun, she lives nearby in Västerhaninge. She is a pensioner, and is often out in the forest either looking for lingonberries, or playing the flute. And she has notations with her. When she's not playing the flute she sings in a local choir. As I sometimes do I mentioned a few people I have photographed before, including the beautiful priest Sara, and the painter Karen and Gudrun knew both of them. Oh, and another reason for playing in the forest is that her neighbours work night, and she doesn't want to disturb them with her music early in the day.
The pied piper of Halmland?

wow, what a nice surprise. pretty cool
ReplyDeletebelle photo de ce concert impromptu dans la foret. j'adore
ReplyDeleteYou caught the magic of the experience beautifully. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite instrument. My daughter plays the flute and she is quite good if I do say so myself!
ReplyDeleteI've never come across a flute player in the woods, but I can imagine it would be a nice discovery. I hope you enjoyed the concert!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that Steffe didn't comment on Safe Leif's blog yesterday...he must be too busy for us.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad too. No comments. Did I hurt your feelings, Steffe Meister?
ReplyDeleteIm sure Steffe is VERY sensitive and might be home crying.
ReplyDeleteOr out in a field drinking wine and eating strawberries and cream!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what instrument Steffe plays while riding his bike without hands, holding his camera?
ReplyDeleteI bet he plays piccolo! Wonder if he could take a self portrait riding his bike and playing his piccolo?!
ReplyDeleteI think Steffe should invite us to Sweden for wine and strawberries.
ReplyDeleteWould you pick us up at Arlanda? Bring a car, not your bike! (Or we could take the Arlanda Express train)
ReplyDeleteI'm available next week! You, Safe Leif? And Steffe? Let's invite Jacob, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm available next week, too.
ReplyDeleteBut Jacob didn't comment on my THEME day posting yesterday either. I think Mr. OCALA is made at me?
A nice surprise it was. I did try to learn to play the flute, and the guitar, but I soon realised that I prefer to listen to music. Arlanda Express sounds about right. I noticed a babe in your post yesterday Leif, way to go!
ReplyDeleteOh Steffe, go on! No, I mean it...really...go on...You sly dog, you;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprisingly encounter! But were are the mice? :-)))
