I thought yesterday was a great day. Today was better! During my walk, it suddenly started snowing. A lot. I loved every second of it! And the walk which wasn’t supposed to be as long as the one yesterday just kind of got extended so I hiked 12 km through the snow and I was…

We got some snow this week and the landscape looks just amazing. I can’t help it, I love snow! There’s not too much of the good thing yet so it’s still possible to walk around without problems, just ankle deep mostly. I made good use of it today, took the new road down to Öster-Hocklan…

Don’t worry, these are probably the last bird pictures I’ll post in a while. The season is getting so late that the light just never seems to be right. Yes, that’s what I said! Here’s why. Shortly after sunrise my bird feeder is lit by the warm light. Now that would normally be a good…

Back to normal time. It’s not even 4pm and the light is already fading! We definitely need some snow now to brighten up the landscape. I walked to Kvarnsjön to see if I could make anything out of the creek and the ice. The ice is actually rapidly disappearing, when I got there I had…

What a dark day. Too dark for bird photography (although I tried – ISO 1600, f4, shutter speed 1/50… doesn’t quite work), but just right for waterfalls. I drove to Hylströmmen, sort of. The freeze period last followed by the thaw and rain in the past days had turned the road into a mud track.…

I decided to try to get some flight shots of the birds. I have occasionally gotten a lucky shot of a bird with wings spread, so I figured I should be able to get one deliberately. Put the camera to continuous shooting and fire off a series, something’s gotta work, right? Wrong. After 297 frames…

My timing with changing the winter tyres was perfect. I did that on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning we had snow! It’s been so cold since then that it’s still white on the ground. The conditions just couldn’t get much better and I had my head full of ideas, with the snow, and ice on…

Having complained about my inability to take action, it will come as a surprise that my cabin project has taken a major leap forward – I signed the contract today! I found a contractor who will build the cabin for me, all I need to do myself is to furnish it when they’re done. Well,…

At long last, I finally thought I’d print out some pictures in poster size. It was fairly easy to select the pictures because I honestly don’t have very many pictures which I feel would look nice on a wall, I find the whole concept a little bit odd. So I went for the minimalistic flower…

When you drive to Lillhärdal from Loos, you have to go north to Sveg first. I’ve often looked at the map and wondered if it would be possible to choose a more straight route, but that straight route means taking some awfully small roads. The proof is in the pudding… We tested it yesterday. After…
