Why I Left Everything for a Countryside Lifestyle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- If I asked you why I moved to rural Sweden, most of you would say it was because I wanted to leave the stressful city behind. And that’s true. But it’s even more than that.
Because, If I just wanted to get out of the city, why did I also start making these videos? The reason is quite simple; I want to do something that matters, something that helps others. And doing so through creativity.
No matter what I share, and how I share it… I hope there’s someone out there, who gets something out from what I do.
Maybe there’s someone out there, stuck in a city, who feels a tiny bit of freedom through the work I do. That would mean everything to me. Because not that long ago, I was that guy. I know how much someone's creative work can mean.
So if I would sum up why I do what I do, I would say this;
I hope I can do for someone else, what someone once did for me.

Fina du ❤ Så otroligt vacker video. Du strålar!
Scenerna och fotona i videon är så vackra att det liksom blåser nytt liv i ens hjärta. Tack ❤
Åh, tack fina Jonna! Så glad jag blir att du gillade videon! ❤️ Och jag hoppas du kände dig träffad av det jag sa i slutet av videon! 🥰
Yep, du stråler! Enhver kan se, at du har truffet den rette beslutning.
Lots of painters have trouble calling themselves artists but they are Artists. You take photos, and videos and present your life to us, you are expressing yourself creatively even when you are just talking about chocolate! 😊You are an artist, creative, vlogger, photographer, and a lovely human being, being!
I agree! I took an art course and on day one the teachers said, "you are all artists." You don't need a fancy degree or diploma to prove you are an artist. We are all artists and creative beings ❤
There are no "bad" photos here. I love all of them.
I actually really like the one by the waterfall, with the contrasting splash of red. It has a wonderful sense of movement and it almost looks like a beautiful red bird has just taken flight. ❤️
Thank you so much! Reading all of this, and other peoples comments as well, is so heartwarming! ❤️❤️ I'm speechless from all the response!
This is exactly what you do with your videos, Daniel. You give people wonderful emotions like harmony, peace and tranquility, and you transport the connection to nature and our true selves with your creativity. Thank you for that! 💕
I'm so glad you feel that way! Truly! And thank you for coming along on all my endeavors! 🥰🙏🏻
Don't stop doing what you do, don't stop experimenting - because the 'bad' compositions make the 'good' compositions even better. It does not matter how many times you climb to the top of the mountain, the vista simply takes my breath away.
Very good way to look at it, that the "bad" ones makes the good ones even better! Thank you for that wonderful perspective! 😍
Beautiful
English might not be your first language but you speak a universal language through your photos and videos. I loved the sunset photo. It reminded me of a perfect moment in time on a beach during sunset where the colours made my soul sing and time stood still. That photo showed a free Daniel with outstretched arms ready to conquer the life he always wanted. Keep sharing with your viewers all those special moments.
A beautiful way to describe that photo, and I definitely like it more when seeing it now, after a description like that! Thank you! ❤️
Beautiful pictures. Your hard work is paying off. I think you’re doing an amazing job. The clothes with brighter colors are a great contrast to the snow. Thanks for sharing Daniel.
Thank you! 💙💗
Hi Daniel, I’m one of those stuck in a city, and I definitely feel free and enjoy the beauty of nature through your videos!
Thank you! You videos give me so much peace and joy !
Oh wow, thank sooo much for letting me know that! It truly warms my heart!! ❤️❤️
Same here...

Dear Daniel, I also left the city life behind to follow my creative dreams. I am a writer, and my hope is to one day publish my book. I thought the sunset picture was beautiful. I also liked you in suspenders with the lantern...it gave an old world vibe. I have enjoyed watching your videos as it has encouraged me to keep following my dreams.
HI Daniel: I'm so thankful that you decided to make videos of your life in Northern Sweden. I so enjoy your beautiful imagery, your comments, and what it's like living in a part of the world that's quite different from mine in Seattle, WA. Not only the landscape but also the Swedish culture and customs, too. I've fallen in love with it through both your blog and Jonna Jinton's, because both of you really capture the heart and soul of your country and all who live there. It's no wonder you decided to leave the city because the northern country is so inspirational and full of surprises, challenges, and wonder. Meanwhile I love your new self-portrait props. The red alpine sweater is beautiful! I love your portrait with the curvy stick while wearing the red sweater. The red pops plus it really seems to capture "Daniel" spirit in Northern Sweden. The branches in the foreground frames you too, while the background is suggested. The dark pattern of the sweater is carried throughout the overall composition via the dark branches. Jenny
Hi Jenny! ☺️ Your comment really warms my heart! It means a lot that there's someone out there who feels the way you explain! It's my true pleasure to get to show and share this little piece on earth with you!
Have a great new week now! 💕
@@DanielErik You're welcome Daniel. Again thank you for sharing your corner of the world. Jenny 🐦💜
@@jennyfulcher8035 I’m just so thankful that there’s anyone who wants to watch! 🙏🏻
@@DanielErik Daniel, the photo of you with the striped orange shawl with the sunset that you felt was too forced, I must say I actually loved it. It is a powerful, dramatic image and doesn't look forced to me.
@@jennyfulcher8035 you like it? Oh I’m so glad you do!! I feel like it has (had, I guess) a lot of potential. If I just had had more time, I think I could have taken one that I would have liked more! ☺️
Hi Daniel! An excessively composed picture kills spontaneity, which I think is your strength. Your videos are so good precisely because you make them instinctively, giving yourself. For me, what you have to say loses its power if you focus on externals. Of course, learn, try interesting and important options and techniques for you, but the main thing in all of this is you. Your personality, your sensitivity to the world and the environment around you. I love the way you are, the way you fight with yourself, the feelings you have inside, and the way you document it all. You are a fan and so are your works. Continue instinctively, because you fled the city to be yourself, shaking off all conformity, everything that drags you down, oppresses you, to find and return to yourself. Friendly hug! 🥰🤗
I agree fully! That's why I liked the photo with the red jacket in the snow! Because I just took it spontaneously! I didn't try to arrange anything, I just felt like going down to the lake and playground, having fun. While with the other shots, I was more eager to really capture something great - and ended up with something I didn't like, because it felt forced!
I'm glad you seem to be able to tell that, as well! And thank you so much for your input and your nice compliments! They truly warms my heart! Sending a big hug to you! 🥰
Dear Daniel
You enrich one so much with this fine, searching art mood! You make me rethink my own life more and more. I used to paint and photograph a lot...with all my heart, full of concentration and calm. Now I live in a larger Swiss city where my heart somehow doesn't feel at home ...the beautiful mountains are a little further away...When I spent the summer last year in Sweden near Stockholm in a very Special place, I felt at home and my heart felt as liberated and content as heaven on earth... if I could I would move to Sweden immediately... I thank you very much for reminding me again to listen to your own heart! Great photos and wonderful atmosphere with a certain magical modesty in your videos!! thank you very much!!! Never forget to believe in yourself and stay true to yourself no matter how famous you become!!!😉💜🍀❤️💫
Such a sweet, kind comment! I take it all to heart! And I really home you can move To Sweden one day, if this is where your heart belongs! 🥰
Wow! The night lake snowscape at 1:13 took my breath away and put a lump in my throat. A truly inspiring shot! Tak.
Don't know what you're shooting on, but I would love a printed still. It's a truly eloquent image.
Great job, Daniel. Love the photo with the branch. I do like the sunset photo with you spreading out the blanket on your shoulders. I would have also used that lantern set on a tree stump with blowing snow around it. Or hang it on a branch blowing in the wind. Use yourself and objects to do a few things with each photo session. You are doing fantastic finding your way. Anything can be used to photograph. It's your creativity that makes it yours. At 30:10, the close-up of you with the blue and grey hat and scarf combination is so pretty with your blue eyes. That's a nice photo, please take one. ❤
❤️💕
It’s a terrific shot. Beautiful, and the triangular shape of the shawl mimics the triangle of bright light around the setting sun.
Thank you, glad you like it! 💕
You live in such beautiful surroundings Daniel. It’s lovely to hear your creativity has returned. My favourite photos are the one with the stick and the lantern where you are wearing grey clothes. Have a wonderful creative week and carry on being you ❤️
I think those are my favorite as well, even though I have a hard time choosing which one of the two with the lantern. Thank you for letting me know which ones you liked, and for watching as well! Have a happy, creative week as well! 💕
Thank you Daniel. We thoroughly enjoyed our month in Sweden. I long for city life. I've lived in the country in the US, that is now not the country, and have to drive a car everywhere I go. I long to walk to the grocery store and Fika shops, and for the energy of life around me. I love nature, but it's so different here in the US. I'm so glad you get to make your dreams come true. I hope mine will come true, too.
I'm rooting for you and your dream! I really hope it happens!! ❤️
Good Morning from the UK Daniel and I opened your video at 4.30 am to see some beautifully awesome scenery and it is stunning. I left the UK to go and live and work Shanghai some years ago and Yes it is initially very difficult but when you have through the first 6 months or so transition it becomes fun. I cannot compare my move to yours physically but the emotional rollercoaster experience is the same. I had little or no help and was alone and had to adjust to a completely new culture and language. I was 59 years old at the time and everyone thought I was insane but it is something I needed to do for myself and to escape the rut I was in here.I envy you and your chosen new lifestyle in so many ways and your videos are simply a joy to watch.
Oh yes, it can be a true rollercoaster! I don't think it really matters where you move. If you move, it's gonna stir up a lot of emotions! But I do think what you've done might be even tricker, to be honest!! I saw it first hand with my ex Alex, when he moved from the US to Sweden. It's such a culture shock!
I'm glad you dared to move like that! Thank you for sharing your story with us! 🥰
I just love foto number three (the rushed foto) and number four in your red sweater with the lantern. You have an amazing talent and you can be proud of yourself. You touch something in me because of who you are. I feel so much love for you, big hug from the Netherlands ❤❤❤
Oh wow, so much love back to you in the Netherlands!! 🥰❤️
Daniel, I can’t explain what I feel when I watch your videos…just like Jonna. I’m in awe, jaw dropped, teary eyed, all of the above. I actually loved the sunset picture! It was one of my favorites. You are so sweet, so humble. I love how you help preserve and protect the environment with your choices. All the best to you friend!
Aww, thank you so, so much! This made my day! ❤️ A big hug!
I like your favorite photo the best also. The photos with the lantern are great too, the warm light in the snow.....keep on, you will get better and better. 💙❤️💙❤️
I'm glad you liked that one as well! ☺️
thank you dear Daniel for this video Your story and those magnificent images... it made me think. Truly the gift of every artist grows when we maintain amazement and share it. It is natural that we aspire for perfection because what we see is already perfect, right? And your creativity is a relief both for those of us in cities and for calming the mind of anyone anywhere. Art makes the invisible visible (or reminds us of it) Paul Klee❤all blessings ,Irene 🙏🪔
I like that, "art makes the invisible visible". 🥰
Daniel… i‘m very sad this days. But Everytime I see you and your life it‘s a Little bit of sun in my Heart.
Wow, thank you for that beautiful compliment!! That warms my heart so much!! 🙏🏻💕
Dear Daniel, you made me smile with your words about the bird... (?) no, the beard...on the tree😉. I call it "lichen" in english (LAV på svenska). The photo with the stick is beautiful!
As usual: hälsning & kram från Värmland / Andrea
Tack snälla Andrea! 💕 Hade ingen aning om vad det hette på engelska, men kommer nog fortsätta kalla det "beard" (och kanske ibland fortsatt säga fel!) 😂
Hi Daniel! Another awesome video! Also, I want to say that I really liked the first photo of you in the pink shirt throwing the red garment into the air. The red garment looked more like a poppy flower and that's why I liked that one. I think it would be an awesome painting! 🌺And I loved the second lantern photo with you in suspenders that you included in your video. I loved it because it reminded me of before "modern" times and the outfit really matched with the lantern & scenery and made the photo really stand out to me. One other thing I wanted to say is that I love that you are so "raw" with your videos. You recognize that you are new at this type of photography and even though you are a perfectionist, you are also true and honest about the process. It makes your viewers appreciate your favorites (and ours) and accomplishments more, I think. Keep doing what you do, Daniel! Your true fans will always be behind you! ❤
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻💕
I had goosebumps how you talked about your photography (I felt it so much♥). Thank you for your inspiration Daniel ♥♥♥ Sending you much love. Grateful for your being ♥
Just the thought that I was able to give someone goosebumps... Oh wow! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! 💗
Wonderful video Daniel. No need to label. Be creative and enjoy life. I love the sunset photo most. Keep being you. 😘
I'm happy you liked that one! Thanks! 🥰
Hello ! Know you are making a difference in the world ! Your journey will be great ! Enjoy !!! Forever grateful ! All photos are fabulous . Hugs from Michigan !!💕
Thank you, that all means so much! 🙏🏻😍
Thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful home. Keep adventuring and learning as you do.
💙❤️
Hello dear Daniel. Today's video is simply awesome. Thank you for sharing it along with your thoughts. I know it is not easy to leave the city and live in the countryside. But i really admire your strength to do it. Keep doing what you do and we are all there to support you. Sending love from Athens 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 ❤❤
Thank you for all the love and support from Athens! It means a lot! 🙏🏻💗
Hi Daniel! Through your videos a powerful message arrives: gratitude for life! Thank you for what you do ❤❤❤
Oh, you're the one who should have a thank you! Thank you for taking part of my life here! It is highly appreciated! ❤️🤗
❤️❤️❤️
Thanx for sharing the creative work it takes to find the “perfect” camera expression to align with the emotional perception of the human behind the camera … 💞🌷💞
Thank you for taking part of it all! 🙏🏻
You touch the hearts of people and inspire others to express themselves creatively and behave authentically - that meant so much ❤
If that's what I do, then my job is truly fulfilling! What an honor! Thank you! ❤️
Hi Daniel. Everything begins with the first step. And nobody gets perfection on the first step, no? Slowly Slowly. Don't be so hard on yourself. Hone your craft and in time you will find your groove, and you will learn to love what you create. You have taken the first shots, so work from there, yes?? Take your time. I am with you. Love where you are, WHO are, and WHAT you do, yes?? Your craft is your own, make it in the image you wish, and in time it will blossom like the Spring coming ...
Thank you so much for the encouragement!! ❤️🙏🏻
It's great, and the photos are beautiful, we are always the toughest critics and ourselves, but for other people, what we do is something that is worthy of attention and the right to life, all the best and creative success.
Yes, it's so easy to criticize ourselves. I'm trying to be better at not doing that. Thank you for your comment! 🥰
From someone stuck in the city in Spain, I THANK YOU for your great videos, they give me peace, like looking out of a window and have some fresh air. Guess that with photos it happens the same as with books, they choose you. No matter how much time you spend looking for one, the right one will come with no effort. Great photos though!! 🙂
❤️🥰
Dear Daniel Erik❤️You embrace nature and you are letting nature embrace you. And you share it with us. Thank you❤️
And thank YOU! Thank you for taking part of it all here! 😍
А мне очень понравилась фотография с фонарем и в штанах с подтяжками. Ну и у озера с веточкой топ👍Ждем новых шедевров.
Dear Daniel, thank you for the wonderful video. You are an extraordinary person and I am so glad that you share your journey, your thoughts and your feelings (and your photos ;-) with us. Your favourite photo is truly a dream! So expressive! Puss och kram till Sverige ❤
Puss och kram! ❤️😘
The beauty of the landscape full of snow is magical....and you got the beautiful photo shoot.
🙏🏻💕
Yes Daniel I like your modesty - people that show off about themselves drain others of self esteem and you do not do that. I love Sweden and your clothes match the red building and contrast nicely against the snow. Tack tack.
I love all the photos. You ARE a photographer. Everything in your videos speaks about freedom and creativity.
Aww, so happy you liked them! 🙏🏻
I really love your portrait with the sunside ❤
Thank you for doing (and sharing) what you love
So glad to hear that! 😄🥰
Thank you so much Daniel! It is so beautiful to watch your video full of being yourself beautifully and naturally showing all of it! Being yourself and showing all of it is so needed I feel for All of us! Heartfull hug
I'm glad you feel that way! I definitely think social media in general often can be in need of us just being ourselves, so I'm glad I can do that and that someone appreciates it! A heartfelt hug back your way! ❤️
Dear Daniel. As you showed us the new clothes from the second hand shop I felt you going through mixed feelings. I felt the joy and the gratitude. Maybe because you found what you were wishing for and enjoyed the appearance of it. (For me clothes are something beautiful to express myself in a creative way.) I also felt you experiencing guilt and you told about your high value of living minimalistic.
I have experienced a long period of commiting myself to high values like vegan/minimalistic/co2 neutral, etc.
I asked myself, is this 100% really needed to live in harmony with nature?
Generally, could it be, the more we flow from intuition, living as ourselfs connected with all, don't we feel very clearly what is being supported from life and what is harming life. Do we need this 100% rules? Don't we choose and move then spontaneusly for the good of ALL? Maybe then it is also possible to enjoy fully the gift that life is giving us. For example in the moment of receiving the clothes from the second hand shop. I see it through the eyes of life is supporting you expressing yourself from the bottom of the heart and touching with it thousand of other hearts in the world. I feel this is definitively supported from live.
Warm hug, Fabienne Madeleine
Yes, Daniel! Your videos are helping me with my anxiety and depression ❤ I feel that you have so pure and good soul. Thank you a lot sharing your experiences and your ups and downs !!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that, it gives such a meaning to what I do! A big, warm hug your way, and I hope you can keep the anxiety at bay! ❤️
@@DanielErik sending you hugs 🥰
I am sure that you Daniel already help people who stuck for example in their busy city life! While I was watching your video I had for the whole time a little smile on my face and this makes my heart peaceful and warm too.After half a year living your own life in nature,you are already very very near to your spirit or inner voice and this gives an expression which can clearly be felt.Even if you by yourself can't imagine,it is nonetheless true😊.Thank you also for being so authentic and appreciate nature❤.greatings from Germany
Many warm and heartfelt greetings back to you, kind soul! ❤️
Hey Daniel!
So happy to see another awesome video of the magical place in which you live🙂
Whew, I am so glad that man got you unstuck, what an angel he is!!!
With just what you're wearing now, I'd be frozen, OMG, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol
Daniel you are creative, don't forget it!!!!
Don't u know, with what surrounds you, is creativity, 100 fold, it's beautiful!!!!
You're absolutely right, the photo of u in the red and black jacket, holding the stick, is very artistic!!!!
Daniel, I have to disagree, I think all of the photo's are really good!
It seems you have come a long way Daniel and should be proud of yourself!!!
Practice makes perfect!
Just keep perfecting the love you have for being a photographer and you'll get where u want to be one day!!!!
Fantastic and beautiful video as usual!!!
Jonna has really inspired u to take on things I bet you never thought that you would, how magnificent is that!!!!!
Thanks so much for taking us along and sharing!!!!
Aww, you're so sweet! It puts a smile on my face knowing you liked all the photos! ☺️ Yes, Jonna has inspired me soooo much! I'm eternally grateful to her! And I'm happy to have you here with me, while I share all of what I do! ❤️
It's also a special picture because you draw the viewer in over the perspective: you looking to the left while the jacket stays kinda in place while the eye wonders over/about the stick. That really makes it work imho. I also like the second one with the storm lantern as it brings a slide within a narrative: a young man caught in a moment of... astonishment? Enlightenment? Consideration? We don't know and that makes it captivating. I took a lot of photo's myself just with my phone. I trained myself while being part of Pride Parades, being on a boat or walking or whatever. Looking around, taking in all the small scenes between the crowds of cheering and singing and dancing people. It trained me to look sharply and take very quick decisions. I really liked that. But would never call myself 'a photographer'. Actually, I always considered myself to be more of a writer, as I did that so much for my work but also wrote stories for fun. But as time progresses you realise that It's just about being creative and enjoying that. And if it makes someone else relate to it or smile about it, as you say, that's a very rewarding bonus. 💙
So nice to read all your thoughts! Thank you for sharing them with me! 🥰 May I ask what kind of things you typically write? ☺️
Hello Daniel, wow what a beautiful video! I loved all the photos you took of yourself!! I loved the one with the striped shawl while the sun was setting a lot!! I like bright colours in everything. The ones you didn't like were, in my eyes, beautiful too. The red really suited you. And the ones with the lantern are magical!! Both also different because you wear different colours of clothes. I love that you buy your clothes in a second-hand store. I also buy my clothes second hand. They're different from the regular stores, much cheaper and didn't have to be manufactured!!
You are a real artist, you show us so many beautiful magical moments from the place you live. I'm so happy you are glad with your decision to move from the city to the country side. You are very courageous to have done that. I can hear in the way you talk about it how happy it makes you. And your face lights up too.
I'm always happy to see you and hear your kind words. Love Ellen 🧡
Ellen, what a beautiful comment! Thank you so much, for each compliment! I'm so glad you liked all the photos! And that you also buy secondhand, it's so much better for the environment! Wishing you all the best! 🥰
This was beautiful Daniel! Not just the photography and videography but showing us the process. I get what you're saying. We shouldn't be defined but what we do but by who we are. You are a beautiful soul who loves taking photos. And so much more!! 🙏❤
❤️❤️❤️
I feel you! I do self-portraits too in my Viking Clothings! It's much hard work, one needs much patience and commitment 😅 It happened many times that I almost threw my camera away because nothing seemed to work 😂 But it can be sooooo much fun and looking at the final results is always so rewarding and feels so magical. And you can feel so powerful and independent because you are not relying anymore on someone who has the time, the skills and the patience to take nice pictures of you. So have a lot of fun! Wishing you all the best!!! 🥰❤
I just saw one of your videos, and it was so beautiful! I LOVED the scenes from the waterfall!! 😍
😱😍🥰@@DanielErik THANK YOU!!! ❤❤
Oh Daniel, those photos are amazing. Your honestly and warmth shines so bright through these cold days. 🥶 sending you warmth and love ❤️ thank you
Thank you as well! For taking part of this and writing such a nice comment! I means a lot! 🙏🏻💗
I love your favorite, too❤. It expresses peace and presence, a sense of wonder.
I also love the sunset with the shawl. The colors of the shawl pick up so many colors in the setting sun. It’s beautiful and bold. You’re very talented, Daniel. Much love to you
Thank you, and much love back to you! 🥰
You're soul is a sweet poetry with tender light.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was scary, that was. A good man
Haha!! I love you laying on the frozen lake the best Daniel! What a finale!! 🎉❤
Haha, thank you! ☺️ It's actually a clip from one of my early videos! Can't remember which one now, though! 😅 Have a great day! 💗
@@DanielErik You too! 😊
Hello Daniel! I watch your videos from France, and they make me dream a lot, even if nature is very beautiful here too, but so different. I have too left the rhythm of work and the city, and watching the videos of vloggers like you accompany my slowing down, my happiness to welcome each day, each night with the joy of freedom! Thank you for following your dream and sharing it with us ! 🤩
How wonderful that you've also the chaotic city, and that it sounds like you're enjoying living the way you do! 😍
You have a beautiful soul, Daniel. I am so happy that I found your channel through Jonna Jintons channel. Both of you are so inspiring
❤️❤️❤️
I love the sunset photo and the red sweater/twig one.
Oh, you do? I'm glad you like them! 😄 Thanks!
@@DanielErik Yes, the colors and concept are frame worthy in my opinion.
Aww, thank you!! I do agree about the concept! ☺@@dragonbry67
Daniel, you are a true gem. I really appreciate you. Thank you for your kindness, and creativity, and having the courage to include your self, in with the nature shots. I can relate to wanting only nature in your expressions, forgetting that you are also nature.
There are times in your footage that, capturing your shadow with wearing the backpack, really looks like angel wings. Food for thought.
You are loved. Thank you for being yourself, in all that you do. I SEE YOU, ANDI HUG YOUR SPIRIT. Many blessings. 🙏🎨
A big, big hug to you and your spirit as well! Thank you for taking part of my life and what I do! ❤️
Thank you, Daniel, for another adventure in the beautiful wilds of Northern Sweden. The new clothes were perfect, especially the red jacket, which was everything for your portrait by the lake. I thought all the photos came out pretty well, and really like the one of you in pink, there's a sense of isolation in that photo that is arresting. I continue to look forward to your next installment.
Thank you! 🥰
Lo que haces importa. Ese es tu camino, sabes capturar instantes con tus fotografías. 🙋🏻♂️El outfit blanco SPCTAQLAR!!!
🙏🏻💕
Tak DanielErik for sharing your thoughts and being honest and real ♥️
I love to see your creative process! It is so inspiring. I especially resonated with your comment about not forcing a creative moment, and that it will present itself when it wants to show you something. I think creativity is a joint effort between yourself and the energy of magic.
Exactly! That's a very good way of describing it, a joint effort between yourself and some kind of energy/magic! ☺️ Thank you for taking part of my creative process! 💕
Hello Daniel, I thought the photos were incredible and super creative! This video was cool! Thank you very much for sharing. 🥰👏
Oh how glad I am that you liked them! Thank you for watching! 💕
Such beautiful shots Daniel! Keep following that creative flow 🥰 You need some Mukluk boots! I’m so excited to be able to watch you evolve and shift, you’re doing great and I’m so proud of you 💓💓💓
❤️❤️
Such a view even though it wasn't what you set out to capture , but still breath taking, you did good, my friend
🥰
We are witnessing the birth of a photography star 🩵❗️You are making milestones and putting your heart into it! Don't stop, keep doing it. You don't even know how many people experience "liberation" from the snares of the matrix.... I
am learning photography and filming too, so I know the cost of effort…I live on the outskirts of Warsaw and an escape to the woods in nature, which is a substitute compared to yours, is enough to recharge my batteries and return powerfully to "reality". I dream of an escape like yours, but there are no such places in Poland and I can't even dream of a distance of 10,000 km - our country is not big. I am hugging you and cheering you on! I wish you the same popularity as Jonna J. ❣️Anyway, it was thanks to her that I came across your channel. I like U very much
Such a wonderful comment, full of compliments! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️ I'm glad you have some forest to go to, even if it might not be what your soul truly desires. I hope that forest can keep on giving you energy! Much love to you, all the way in Poland! 🥰
Daniel your video has given me a much needed lift today although I got stressed for you when your car went into the ditch! I am so glad your feeling more motivated these longer days help so much don’t get?!
Oh yes, that was such a stressful situation! So glad it got solved pretty easily! And the longer days really helps a LOT! 😄 Thank you for watching! 🥰
Go for your dreams! You’ve made a difference in my day! I love your energy and sharing Sweden is appreciated!❤️
That means everything!! Thank you for letting me know that! ❤️
Your photos are gorgeous ❤ The best ones always come when you least expect them..
They truly do! 🥰
Great video Daniel. Lovely landscapes,and nature. 😊
Thank you so much, John! 😍
Thank you Danielerik for this wonderful video. I live in a city and really enjoy all the nature in Sweden, around where you live. The Netherlands is a country that you can drive through in about 4 hours and where almost 18 million people live. It's a miracle we still have nature. Your red clothes make a nice complementary difference in your photos and videos I think.
Wow, 18 million people on such a small area? I hope you can still find places out in nature where you can fill up with new energy! Wishing you all the best! 💗
Great video, Daniel! My favorite photo was the one of you holding the lantern in gray pants with a fabulous expression on your face looking up.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for sharing with me which one you liked the most! 💕
Love this new video! I look forward to seeing more of your journey as you develop your photography skills (pun intended)! Especially when spring weather arrives. I love watching your snowy walks, but I bet your creativity will really blossom. 🌼 🌸
I really hope and think it will blossom as spring comes closer, and I can't wait to share whatever I end up doing! 🌸

Thank you for this beautiful video. It really helped me to believe there is hope in this ugly world, particularly after Navalny's death which has been so utterly depressing. By the way, you look fabulous in the red sweater.
Oh yes, his death is so extremely tragic. 😔 May he rest in peace, and that everyone involved in his death get hit by karma! And thank you so, so much for letting me know this video gave you some hope. That is exactly what I'm hoping for by doing these videos! ❤️
Your photography and videography is really amazing. You are creative and inspirational - very courageous to follow your dreams.
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
You are wonderfull Daniel. It seems like you are my friend in real life.
🙏🏻💗
Nice video Daniel. I think you are very creative and I love how you are so whimsical. You just come across as such an honest and caring person. Please don't ever change that! You live in a beautiful place and you are taking full advantage of it. Being outside is just so rejuvenating. I am out as much as possible also because it is my re-set button if you will. I'm happy to see that winter is on it's way out for you and spring is around the corner. Can't wait to see what is next.
Daniel, I really appreciate how you verbalize your deep thoughts. What i see in your personality is somewhat of a reflection of myself. However, it's difficult because people don't understand my personality. They think I'm talking too much, overthinking things, or being too sensitive. Listening to you validates me and makes me feel more normal. I always look forward to watching your videos with my partner, so thank you for continuing to share your stories.
Oh, thank you! I'm sorry you feel that way. Remember that you are valued and important, even if there might be people out there who make you feel otherwise. And you're saying you feel more normal, which I'm glad for. But also, remember that being something else than just "normal" makes you truly unique! Don't hide your personality, because you're beautiful just the way you are! ❤️

Hey Daniel! Thank you for another amazing Video, I absolutely love seeing the beautiful nature you’re able to capture and the way you live. I live in Australia so it’s a very different lifestyle here with the weather and such.. I’d love to visit Sweden one day thanks to you. ❄️😄
Hi Tim! ☺️ Oh, I can imagine it's very different there in Australia! Would love to visit one day! And I hope you get the chance to visit Sweden! 😄🤗
I hope you get to visit one day! 😊 I’m looking forward to seeing all you will create in the future ☺️
You really get my thoughts and feelings in words and pictures.
I got to myself by moving to the countryside.
