When I lived abroad during the last six years there were many people asking about what it was like to be living in Västerås. So last week an idea was born. I would make a live experiment with my bike. I would show pictures, but not the postcard-photos you get everywhere. I shouldn't be too involved in taking the pictures. What I wanted to show, should be more randomly chosen. So I set up a couple of premises:
I would stop sharp exactly every kilometer and from that spot I would take a picture of my choice. But I would also take a picture in an angle, as close as possible to 90 degrees of the first one. I would not zoom and not tamper with the photos afterwards, so that people could see exactly, what I saw. All pictures would be taken in landscape-format, as not to be able to cheat that way either.

It felt rather exiting to look forward to the outcome. And, while doing it, it was very much fun, so I decided to go ahead with it.
