Fårö Metafari


I have gone to the island of Fårö where our family has a summer house. The small island is also know to be the home of Ingmar Bergman, and here is also where he is buried. His modest grave is to the right.
Fårö gives you space to think. Coming here you calm down, become sleepy. After a couple of days you start to sleep longer in the mornings. In fact, already when you are on the 6 minute ferry that takes you to Fårö you start to feel sleepy.
Today I took a walk around "Alnäsa träsk", the small lake behind our house. It's a 7 km walk in a beautiful landscape of stone, colors of grey and green. And you are alone at this time of the year, before the tourists come.
I have been experimenting with Twitter for the last week or so, and now I am exploring the use to Twitpic which makes it possible to post pictures directly from the phone. So I look at the landscape with the eyes of a camera, sending images to Twitter with some words connected to them. You can follow my Twitter stream here
It is interesting to think how we could use this technology in a Metafari or a Metasaga.
