In order to come up with interesting pictures you do not need the magnificent and striking motives that are often assumed to be the most important, at least that is what I think. To me there is an abundance of beautiful but maybe trite motives in every day life. This assumption was the driving force behind this series.
Hence I decided on four walks that I use quite often in my every day life. I gave myself some limits: for every kilometre 12 pictures although I came up with many more.
