Day Two @ 1:11 PM

This morning, I was riding the train to work. I was barely awake and feeling just terrible, outside it was raining, everything was grey. I decided to take a picture of the greyness, decided to show the lack of colour, because really, isn't a lack of colour what January is all about?
Apparently it isn't, because when I tried to take that picture, the colourful insides of the train, the lights and the walls and the seats, were mirrored in the raindrop-covered windows and turned my grey, unhappy picture into a sea of colours. It was nice, and it made me smile. At least for a short moment.

Let's do this! @ 1:06 PM

Okay, so it it 9.30 at night on the first day of twentyfourteen. The new year is starting, and with it, the challenges are starting as well. Challenge number one is a photo challenge - I am going to take a photo every day in January. For this, I chose the theme "colour". I might take pictures with my phone and I might take pictures with my camera. We'll just have to see.

The first picture I took last night, as I was watching fireworks over the lake with friends. I guess you can't really get more colour than that - especially with an instagram filter put over it.



about this blog


my name is annika. this blog is a way to document my new years resolution for 2014. also, i would like to write down how it all works out. if it all works out. in 2014, i am going to be presenting myself with a new challenge every month. some of them might be easy. some of them i might have done before, but who cares, i am the one making the rules. i haven't even decided on many of them. but yes. i am going to introduce every new challenge on the first of each month, and then i will blog about it. i am really looking forward to it. challenges are what keeps me going. they seem to grab onto the tiny bit of discipline i have inside of me and not let it go until i am done. they're the only thing that makes me ambitious. so yes. i might be a bit scared, but i am also excited. let's do this!
