Through a train window
Traveling the same route a numerous times could be a boring experience.
I have traveled the route between Stockholm and Ludvika several times the past 20 years since my origin is from Ludvika. My folks are still living there so they need some attention from time to time and to tell the truth it is kind of nice going there and relax from the stress in Stockholm.
I´ve always felt that the traintrip to Ludvika must be one of the most boring trips in the world because there is nothing to see and it always looks the same outside the window, however lately I have come to think of that during the past 20 years it has changed a lot, the people i see are different and the landscape tend to shift in appearance.
Sometimes I notice things that seem new but they have actually been there for a long time just because of my own blindness to see what´s actually around me. So for the latest trips I´ve been trying to open my eyes and take in the beauty and the changes that do occur and I find myself able to see again.
These images are not about changes, they are merely an observation from my latest trip.

No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film. ~Robert Adams, Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995
