Just couldn’t resist it. Thought I’d try skiing as long as the weather allows and today it’s snowing some more, zero temperature. When I bought my skis, I decided to go the easy way and get the type where you don’t need to apply ski wax. This is naturally a compromise and you lose a…

This time of the year, every skiing trip is potentially the last one of the season. I left right after breakfast while the world was still grey with frost after a cold night, had a quiet trip through the snowcovered forests and lake. But as for the skiing season, it is lightly snowing as I…

I had an opportunity to photograph dogs today. I have never been very good with moving subjects, which is why I normally shoot flowers and landscapes. They don’t run. But I won’t shy away from a chance to try my hand at animal photography so there I was, equipped with two 1 GB memory cards…

Since we now have so much snow, I thought it was a great idea to extend the skiing season. But as it turned out, it was more like walking with the skis because the trail was unprepped (can’t blame them) and there was about 10cm of loose snow on the tracks. The conditions were such…

Strange old winter this one. It has been coming and going since November, and now that March is about to end, winter is still not showing any signs of letting go. It’s snowing even more… but it could warm up towards the weekend again. I was checking my photos to see when the snow season…

It had been snowing overnight and the light snowfall continued into the morning. This was just fine by me as I had been aware of the possibility already beforehand and had planned a tour accordingly. No point in seeking great landscapes when nothing can be seen anyway! I drove to Ljusnedal, to the starting point…

You may have noticed that I’m often rather negative about snowmobiles. Partly because I don’t like the snowmobile tracks criss-crossing the scenery everywhere but most of all, I resent the idiots who ride their machines in places where it is specifically forbidden, like national parks and nature reserves. Living in Sweden, and in Los in…

It’s time for another mountain break! Late winter’s days don’t get any better than this, so the perfect place to start is Sånfjället which was one of the inspirations behind my decision to buy skis. The snowshoe tour last year was memorable and I had no doubts that a skiing trip on the same mountain…

The morning started with a bit of sunshine, then it started snowing a whole lot. Then the sun peeked out for a moment until the snowfall intensified again. And then the snowing suddenly stopped and now it’s a gorgeous afternoon with the sun shining from a blue sky. Too bad for the wind though. Anyway,…

Carola. I must admit that the song has grown a little bit on me, but it’s still a purebred Swedish schlager song and I still can’t see it win over many points in Europe and I can’t see myself ever really like it, even if it’s better than last year’s entry. My favourites, Rednex, finished…
