As I said yesterday, I expected there to be more birds and as it turned out, there were. Constant traffic! I sat in the blind for two hours, shot 213 frames and kept… 9. I wouldn’t be doing this with film! Normally I’m happy if I just get something which is sharp and correctly exposed…

The winter is making itself heard. Or seen. We got quite a few days with snowfall and twice we ever got a snow cover to speak of, but because the temperatures were constantly hovering around zero, the snow was gone overnight or during the day so I didn’t have any snow left at my snow…

I decided to try a new approach to bird photography – I built a hide. It’s still very close to home, but just a little bit in the forest so the birds don’t have to come out in the open to feed. I set up a lot of food and a few perches (work in…

Late in the season, I’m still exploring new places. We were following the same river that we visited last week, and it meant discovering more remnants of log driving activity in these waters. The rock walls that line up the riverbank in some places is an obvious sign of log driving, but then there are…

If you look at the world map, you won’t see any white space anymore – we (humans) have been everywhere. The time of the great explorers is now but an exciting story in a book. What is left is personal discovery – just because some other people have been there before, doesn’t mean that it’s…

Photography is a great way to reset your thoughts. When I set out for a walk, I had a lot of negative thoughts in my head. The problem is with my neighbour/landlord who is apparently not able to grasp the concept of ”yours and mine”. Meaning that when I pay my rent, I pay for…

It seems like every time I find a great place, I keep returning to it for many weeks in a row until I’m satisfied I’ve explored it in detail. My current such place is Svansjöbäcken, so that’s where I found myself this morning. There was a bit more water thanks to the rain/snow earlier this…

It was such a nice weather that I couldn’t resist going for a walk. -1ºC, windy and – snowing. 5cm so far, still coming down. For some reason I didn’t see anyone else out. Not even footprints in the snow.

I just remembered that last spring I posted my plan for the summer. So time to check the list and see how I did. Motorbike. Well, we all (the regular blog readers, anyway) know what happened with that. Crash boom bang. Add some bad weather and it’s a recipe for leaving the Tricker in the…

Now I can check off the second waterfall in Björnån, having seen the first one last week. I was really curious to get there because in the satellite picture and on some maps it seemed like there was a bridge over the river, although it was nowhere marked as such. And indeed, a bridge it…
