When I woke up, the first thing I did was to take a look outside. When I saw the morning light on the mountain opposite the lodge, I just had to go out with the camera and get some quick pictures before breakfast. We wanted to get going early because the 19 km from Sylarna…

Weather-wise it looked like we were going to have a lot of luck. No rain, certainly no snow, and calm. The photographer in me would’ve wanted some sunshine, but this was a hiking trip so the most important thing was that we were going to have just the best possible conditions for hiking, couldn’t have…

Seems like it has taken forever but my now almost traditional autumn holiday has arrived. Last year we tried a short return hike to Helags but now we’re ready for something a bit more meaty – the classic Jämtlandstriangel, or the Jämtland Triangle. It’s a 47 km trek between the mountain lodges of Storulvån, Sylarna…

All this raining has been really good for the mushrooms. You can almost see them grow! For some reason the fly agarics really love the lawn (moss) behind my house. I’ve never seen them in such numbers, and I probably don’t even want to know exactly why they like this location so much. But there…

Once for a change I thought that I would try to catch some morning light. I think I’ve mentioned before that I really really like a good night’s sleep, so you don’t often see me out and about at sunrise. This morning the sun came up 6am and my best effort was to be on…

After a cool July, we were all hoping that August would turn out warm. Well, it didn’t. We didn’t even hit 20°C any day. On the bright side, we don’t have any problems with drought… * * * Temperature (High): 18°C Temperature (Low): 9°C Temperature (Average): 13°C Barometer (High): 1015 mbar Barometer (Low): 988 mbar…

Perfect day for some sightseeing! I drove south towards Orsa to check out the Storstupet and Helvetesfallet canyons. Been there, seen it, done that. No need to go back. But in case someone else is interested and has photography in mind, you might want to know that at Storstupet the view is more or less…

It was such a great weekend, you’d almost be fooled into thinking it’s summer (if it weren’t for the fact that the temperature stayed in the ’teens). Perfect for motorbiking, in other words! Despite the bike, I’m not really a motor enthusiast. Actually, I’m not even a motorbike enthusiast – I just have my Tricker…

It’s been over two years since my last visit to the Gröntjärn lake, so I was really looking forward to today’s trip. Gröntjärn is one of my all time favourite (photo) locations, and I used to enjoy every visit there. And there were plenty of visits, during those five years I lived in Ljusdal. The…

As wonderful as my motorbike is, it has one big shortcoming – it can’t carry any gear. There’s no package rack, it’s not suitable for side bags, and the tank is too narrow for tank bags. Of course, this is a trail bike and it’s not meant for long trips and hauling gear, so I…
