I haven't had a chance to report about Sweden Rock Festival during the event. Things where really crazy and I had a pretty tight schedule running from one to the other stage.
Besides, Where I was staying had no internet connection, so there was nothing I could do.

I can say that I love Sweden Rock Festival. However this year things were different from the past years for me. Some things where really great, others not so much. So let me skip the "not so much" ones.
I can say that everyone who really knows me, knows that I go to concerts to work. I have no fun at all if I am not photographing. And this year, for reasons that I was explained just after I arrived, I would not be able to get access to the photopit. Right on Tuesday I went to the Festival area to get my credentials because on Wednesday I was going to leave the hotel in Kristianstad and move to Morron.

The awesome part of the journey started when on the first day of the festival I left the hotel and met my friend who picked me up to move to Morron.
It is amazing how a true and sincere friendship survives to anything. Like those friendship from first grade or high school that you can stay for years and years not even talking to the friend and when you meet,
it seems it was yesterday when you last saw them.
It is almost like Christmas Time, when you meet those distant relatives once a year. I say almost because there is a difference that really makes the difference: in this type of friendship, you choose the "relative" from the heart.

I have to say that I really love all of this. I am not going to specify what "this" is, I prefer to keep it inside myself.

I was amazed because while I was walking around, some photographers, some security and even people from the shops recognized me from the previous years. The most amazing was the guy from a shop, where I bought something last year, he mentioned he remembered me and my friend.
And I was going to buy a ring this time and he said if I did not have money I could pay him next year. uh? yes!!! that is called trust!!! amazing!!!

I met my friends from KingsDragon "meeting point", well, there was no meeting point this year, but I am really glad I had a chance to meet them!

i love to meet good people. Good people in the heart, mind and soul. That is what makes life worthwhile for me. However, it is kind of painful and always too sad to leave when all of this finishes. I get too attached to people, and considering myself a piece of the world, I dont want to go back to Sao Paulo when I go away. I cant explain, I just dont want to go back to Sao Paulo. I miss my parents, I miss my dogs to death. I miss so much in there, but I just dont feel like going back.

Before talking about the festival itself, I will continue till where I am right now.

This year the time at the Festival flew away. In the last day I was the whole day with the impression that it didnt seemed the last. Usually everybody is wrecked but looking around I could see people so vivid.
But it was coming to the end.
And it did!

The 20th edition of Sweden Rock Festival is now over and I was originally going back to Amsterdam, and travel around until I meet my friend guitarist and his band for a photoshoot. Some swedish friends convinced me to go to Stockholm. I have decided to change highways and I am now in the train to Stockholm.

I took the train at the station in Solvesborg and stopped at Hassleholm and changed trains.
Honestly, I dont even know what time I am going to arrive in Stockholm. I am just going! And I just recalled Forrest Gump when he says in the movie: "When I had to go, I went..."

I was paying attention to people during the train trip and what called my attention was the fact that I had just spent 4 days in a wild festival where everybody gets crazy and happy and talkative, and today, one day after, people look so sad. I dont mean sad because the festival is over. I mean just sad! They dont talk to each other, they barely move. I have no idea what that is, but it really called my attention.

About myself, this time I was very careful packing my stuff to come here because I really wanted to travel light. I dont know what happened, my luggage is so heavy.
Maybe I am getting old, I dont know. But I have been thinking about my train trips. Probably this will be the last one. I can take one train here and there, but all the trip by train.

I can say I am really tired.

Anyway, anyhow... I am missing someone!!!! I am really missing someone so bad!!!!
