Last week was a total washout. First it was the summer tyres in 20 cm snow and then when I was moving the tyres, I strained my back. As if proof was needed that I don’t have a strong back… the tyres don’t weigh that much. But sure enough, it immobilised me and suddenly life…

Never mind Christmas. Winter is all that counts!I woke up early this morning. There was a big chance of snowfall in the night and I knew right away that it had happened – the light that came trough the curtains was too bright to be anything else than snow. The feeling that the first snow…

There are a few spots along the road to work that I’ve been thinking about photographing some day. The problem is, when they are so readily available, you just keep putting it off. So day after day, I drive past and think that I should photograph that… Amazingly, today was the day. I stopped and…

The other day I drove past a small river called Hoan. It reminded me of an image I took there a few years ago in the winter – I liked the way there were gaps in the ice and the flowing water could be seen underneath. I called the photo ”Life, under the surface” and…

It was a rare event – a semi-sunny morning. I walked up the Funäsdalsfjället mountain with the aim of taking some panorama images. The peak of the mountain was advertised as the best view in the Swedish mountains and I suspected some hype there, but it turned out to be grand indeed – a 360…

Another week, another mountain range. I drove to Mittåkläppen, parked the car about 1 km past Djupdalsvallen and started walking.

This is what I look forward to every autumn – wake up see the landscape covered with the first snow. Somehow I wasn’t all that happy now though to see the white stuff coming down heavy because I was not prepared at all for winter conditions. The visibility improved a little bit during my generous…

My main target for the trip was the Storulvån mountain station. It has a good reputation and it’s suitable for day hikers like me because the place is surrounded by mountains. The prices are a bit on the high side for something that’s part of the Youth Hostel chain, however let’s not forget that we’re…

Yesterday was a total washout – heavy rain and heavy winds. So I was all the more relieved to see that it was no longer raining even if it still was overcast and I could finally do a hike up a mountain – my target was Storsnasen. I could see straight away that I was…

Here it is – finally! – my ”summer” holiday. I was originally going to go to Lapland, but since I was a bit tired from work I didn’t feel like driving that far. The weather was going to be on the poor side anyway so I didn’t want to go there for nothing – done…
