Rediscover Cycling: Gothenburg’s Official Bike Campaign
This video, produced by the City of Gothenburg, came out a while ago, but I still think it’s worth a mention.The video was part of an official campaign to get inhabitants to rediscover the benefits and joy of cycling.
There’s also the behind the scenes film which I discovered thanks to one of my favorite Swedish blogs, Below the Clouds. Love them both!
Stormy Coastal Weekend
Spent a girls’ weekend out at Rockaway Beach, Oregon and we were lucky enough to be caught right in the middle of an epic Oregon autumn storm. The waves were enormous and fluffy mounds of sea foam covered the shore. Ocean spray rose high in the air above the crashing water, reminding us of just how powerful nature can be. Plus I got to borrow a Nikon D80 for the trip which always makes me happy.
The Best Camera: Photography For All
I had the sincere pleasure of meeting photographer Chase Jarvis the other night and had a very interesting talk about the ability of social media tools to democratize art, making it more accessible to all and encouraging everyone to explore their creativity. He recently authored The Best Camera is the One That’s With You, and from it has come a website and iPhone app that lets users shoot, edit and publish their images. The concept is cool, and although I’ve had my qualms about phone cameras, I’ve got to say that I like it a whole lot more than I expected. So here’s my first photo.You can check out other user submitted photos as TheBestCamera.com.
The more sites like The Best Camera that can encourage creativity in the world, the better…

Friday Photo: Autumn Leaves
Nothing’s better than a fall bike ride with an afternoon picnic beneath a colorful tree. This fall has been beautiful… I’m sure the rain will start soon, which will be good for hunkering down and accomplishing a lot of much needed writing.
An Optical Illusion the Size of a Village
An interesting public art installation in Vercorin, Switzerland by artist Felice Varini that turns the whole village into an optical illusion, by painting white sections on various houses along the hillside.

A Modern Treehouse
This Los Angeles tree-inspired house by Rockefeller Partners Architects does an excellent job of combining nature and modern amenities, taking advantage of the beauty of a fallen tree and bringing a sense of the natural world into the interior.
This window is actually a portal in the floor, allowing for a view of the inspiration behind the house.
