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…

Back in the 80’s and 90’s I loved the Eurovision Song Contest. Those days are over, but I still make sure to catch it every year. Here in Sweden, it’s almost impossible to miss it anyway. The Swedes sure love their Melodifestivalen (the Swedish qualification for the ESC) and every year the contest sparks a…

Clear blue skies, sparkling new snow, a few minus degrees but very warm in the sun. It’s a classic late winter’s day! I decided to do the same skiing trip as yesterday, thought it would be a different experience now that the tracks are new and the sun is shining. And so it was, I…

I finally got my GPS unit, Garmin eTrex Venture to be specific. So now it’s just a matter of skiing and hiking and mapping out my favourite trails! Speaking of skiing, I did a tour today. We only have two prepared tracks here – the short 2.5km illuminated tracks and a longer trail (about 10km)…

I went to the zoo today. Perfect weather – sunshine and a little bit of snowfall. At the same time. A few years ago I visited the zoo almost every other week, but after I started shooting film I gave up on that and then I moved to Los which added 50km between me and…
