“Listen to me. Please. You’re like me, a homo sapien; or wise human. Life, a miracle in the universe, began around 4 billions years ago, and we humans only 200,000 years ago. Yet, we have succeeded in disrupting the balance so essential to life. Listen to this extraordinary story, which is yours, and decide what you want to do with it.”

Home is and incredible movie of Yann Arthus Betrand. Me, Linn and the rest of our family saw it on a free viewing “film i Båstad” organized on the local cinema in Båstad. I have blogged some insipring persons and project lately, but if someone is insipiring it is Yann Arthus Betrand. A guy who left is carrer as an actor and started working with an animal park in france. Then he left france to live in a nationalpark in Kenya, he lived in the wild, with the massai tribe for three years. And he did all of this together with his wife. He took photos of the tribe and discovered his passion for aerial photography when taking shoots from a balloon. When he got back home he realesed a book “Lions”, he became a reporter, journalist and photograher.  He started working with ecological movements, released the book “Earth from Above” which really shows his amazing artistic photos from above.  In 2009 he made the movie home. And he whole idea of the movie is soo cool, to bee free and to bee yours. In his own words, “The benefits of this film cannot be counted in dollars, but in audience figures.”

It is a really powerful movie. As it is, showing planet earth, it´s beauty, and  most important telling the possible outcome if we don´t watch ourselfs. But also the whole project. Showing the power of your own faith, and the power of photography. Not to mention the beauty of Yanns photography..

The movie is leaving only a little inch of hope for everything not completely fall apart, a little inch. But it is an inch. I think all we need is that inch, and people like Yann.

Video from this summer, our friend mårten testing a new lightwind kite from Ozone around an island a few minutes by boat from our village, our maybe ten minutes by kite. It sure looks exotic, and it´s, just out our front door. I think it really shows the beauty of Bjäre and Torekov, and in perspective we really live in paradise. Here you go, pure kitemagic.

Mårten Björnsson is a really inspiring person, also best kiter i know, check him out here, www.kiteskolanbastad.se

Lite ihopklipp till blocket då vi kommit fram till att vi inte kan behålla alla valpar..

Christoffer Supertramp i Into the Wild sa: “When you want something in life, you just gotta reach out and grab it.”

Kanske är det inte riktigt så lätt.. Men man måste i alla fall visa vad man vill ha och inte bara sitta tyst och snällt och vänta på det.
Vi vill verkligen ha den här skejtparken och nu har politikerna sin stora chans att visa att kommunpolitik fungerar. Att politik är något man själv kan påverka, och inte bara långsamt pappersdravel för vuxna som ändå inte leder till något konkret.

På många sätt påminner detta mig om när Höganäs kommun ville bygga en vågbrytare som hade kunnat förstöra en av Sveriges bästa våg. Vågsurfarna sa ifrån och man lyssnade. Det är sånt som får en att tro på demokrati!

Nu kan man inte ropa hej än till en skejtpark, än. Kampen fortsätter.

Creds till Karl Ljungman som både filmat och klippt ihop filmen med några filmklipp från Alexander Gustavsson. Och stor eloge till alla eldsjälar som lägger energi på detta!
