After being in the troll-forest for a few days I just did a short walk today, where I did a couple of sketches

First one is from a small moor, where there was dragonflies everywhere. I tried to work more freely with the motives, and the dragonflies moved so fast I couldn’t get the details anyway…

I haven’t been on that spot since I was a kid, around 30 years ago, and it was kind of magic to go back to a place where I used to spend hours looking at Salamanders and Dragonflies

Looking at Dragonflies

Afterwards I went along the streets  to a place where the old horse carriages, that take people for rides in the woods here on Sundays, still stand.

The old drivers must have been there for countless years

The old drivers looked like they had been there for many, many years. Most of them were over seventy – or maybe eighty, and I bet most of them had past there fifty years anniversary.

The drivers were hanging out in the sun – There where five to eight of them  – all old men, sitting in their carriages waiting for customers, that never came, while discussing grandchildren and hunting dogs.
