Autumn hasn't finished yet, but you could notice the shadow of the winter extending every day. Days getting shorter, docks getting empty and common mures preparing their bellies for on hell of an overnighter. More and more people changing their shoes for cars, while everything is a 10 minutes walk around this by god forgotten near to comatose town. It almost seems that there are more people leaving South than birds. Even my parents, born and raised in even smaller towns in Holland, which came to visit last weekend, described this place as excitngly dull
So this is what Sweden is all about and I slowly come to understanding their alcohol problem. It's either get drunk or get lost.
The last channel on our TV is slowly fading, we experience recurring power outages and so Duckburg is slowly taken down with the whole town. I spend more and more time in my prisoncell. The only daylight I see is in the morning when I walk to school. The prison is one of the most cosiest place to be in these times. More and more hours I spend behind my one and only lightsource, my computer. And I feel like I'm going to the monastry of digital media development, when I come out after this winter I will be able to create code with my mind.
Still there are some small threads of light going out of this place thanks to the internet and I'm happy I could participate with WordWide. The photo I've taken symbolizes the comatose situation of this town and that the winter is yet to come.
I'm also eager to get back to Holland in the end of Novemberto visit STRP FSTVL and I believe that more classmates want to get the hell out of here as there are 11 Hypernauts coming along.

The winter in Karlskrona is yet to come, you have only seen the beginning. However, on saturday we will rewind our clocks an hour and hopefully we wont have to wait too long for the snow to arrive. The turning of the clocks is the turning point and things will be easier after that ;-)
It is much nicer when the sea is covered with skating ice, there's snow everywhere and everyone is hurrying home to drink hot chocolate. Sad part is it was years since we last had such an awesome winter. Recent years it's mostly been windy :(
haha, love the way you describe this shitty little place.
welke dag ga jij dan naar strp, ik ga de vrijdag geloof ik. jorn & tarik hebben daar een installatie staan, groepsopdracht van de HKU.
