The law of diminishing returns… my holiday is drawing to an end, but the rainy days and photographic slump are not. We drove to Mittåkläppen with high hopes to hike up the mountain in search of exciting flowers. We had barely reached the tree line when it started raining, and then it started pouring, so we fell back on Plan B and went to Djupdalsvallen to eat waffles. The weather didn’t really improve, so I ate another waffle. And since the weather was unsteady even after that, we called it a day. In the evening the weather improved marginally, so much so that there was half a chance of sunlight and I knew exactly where I wanted to capture it. I managed to get a few shots, then the clouds moved in again. I waited patiently until I got some more sunlight, which lasted all of… well, a minute anyway. Then a big cloud shaded the sun and I got tired of the waiting game and headed back. I reckon the short walk helped me work out half of a waffle. Or maybe a quarter. I think I had too many waffles today…

Tomorrow is set out to be a rainy end to my rather rainy holiday. Somehow I’m not too bummed out about it though – at least I haven’t had to sit in the office, or even think about work. That’s always something!

Yes I know there’s convergence with the tree and background forest. By the time I found an angle without overlapping them, the sun was already gone.
