Hah, I guess we'd call that 'Kauderwelsch'.

roughly how much of your photography is local?

Pretty much everything apart from the Alpine and Na Mojoj Zemlji series.

Have you read James Frazer's the Golden Bough? I rather embarrassingly still have not sat down to read it properly myself but it seems like compulsory reading for anyone who wants to truly understand paganism

I have not, but at times I will have to get a copy of this too. It's on my list already.

sigebrand said: what have you listened to so far?

That's exactly the thing. Not much. Simply, this thought was after a music show on tv started playing Joy Division and Depeche Mode etc. I like Bauhaus a lot, though. But it's more one of those things where, I love the music when I hear it, but don't often go out of my way to play it (or learn more about it / discover new bands).

Nice. Are you a fan of Empyrium, Lönndom or the second Ulver album at all? Or Vinterikket? Electronic, but your Alpine artwork reminds me of their covers and mood, actually :)

Empyrium, Lönndom and Vinterriket are wonderful bands and I listen to them way too rarely. And Kveldssanger is one incredibly beautiful album. And I guess you might be right, the Alpine series might really carry the same mood Vinterriket's music does... I should compare that sometime. Thank you!
