Lake Vättern

So I've finally settled down in my cosy little apartment in Gräshagen, Jonkoping, Sweden.

Pictures were taken at Lake Vättern,

Sweden's second largest lake, which runs along one side of my school.

I've seen it from the first day I arrived,

but most of the lake was obstructed by the train station beside it.

So 2 days ago, Sam and I decided to get to the other side and take a walk.

I've always thought the lake was beautiful,

but never this beautiful.

The peace, the calmness, the beauty.

The ice melting and forming.

The waves crashing softly, then retreating.

The enduring, silent charms of nature.

Breathtaking.

I don't know who or where life would bring me tomorrow.

I don't care if the skies fall and the earth stops spinning.

I do know that I can only live my life in one place at a time.

Here and now.
