We went to a concert with The Real Group at Sorunda church, a medieval church south of Stockholm.

I love old churches – Romanesque, Gothic, late medieval country churches. I love the shapes, the spaces, the vaults and pillars and arches, the stained glass windows, the gravestone floors and the painted walls.

Sorunda church had all of that, and beautiful painted patterns on the walls in particular. I love the natural flow of the shapes. Were someone to paint a similar decorative pattern today, they would aim to make the curls as identical as possible, and lose the liveliness.
