Time is catching up with me. I’ve always said that age is nothing but a number, you’re only as old as you feel, blah blah blah. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had to accept that my body does not agree with my head and it’s showing its real age. I hurt my right…
Just like last spring, the roe deer are spending a lot of time in the fields around the house. I see them every day now, at most it was eight of them but in recent days the biggest group has consisted of six individuals. Sometimes it’s only two, sometimes three, so I’m not sure if we…
I traded skiing for bird watching today. Great choice! I got to witness some drama and action, and got my best swan pictures to date as well. I used the same spot as last week and this time the swans didn’t mind me. There are more of them now, and they are too busy fighting each…
Spring is on the way and it’s time to start keeping an eye out for the migratory birds. I took the Mega-Tamron out for a walk, I knew that there were swans in the open water in Ljusnedalssjön. I found two pairs of swans, a bit sad that there were no young birds, but then…
The raining has finally stopped but the wind is still an issue, and it gave me problems during our morning shoot at Gjógv. All of my frames were soft due to vibration, so every one of them went down to trash. I’m not as heartbroken as that may sound though, because the composition wasn’t really that good…
We are really getting to see the nasty side of the weather in the islands. The wind is relentless and it’s still raining, but what is that to an intrepid group of photographers? We were out and about early in the morning, as usual. We drove to Tjørnuvík, where the bay is somewhat sheltered from the…
It had been snowing at night and the snowfall continued all day. I looked out the window frequently as the landscape just kept getting better and better. And then suddenly there were horses in it. I knew there are horses in Ljusnedal but normally you never see them so I never thought about it. Until…
Ever since I moved here, I’ve had this idea that I could hike on top of Ånnfjället in the evening after work. Somehow I never got around to doing it last year, but now that summer has finally arrived here (after a brief guest appearance in June), I did it yesterday! In theory, you could…
I don’t always have to get to the top of a mountain… sometimes it’s nice to just walk around it. So I drove to Bruksvallarna and took a very long time walking up to Kariknallen, because there are a lot of flowers here and I was equipped with a macro lens. Shooting more macro was…
I haven’t seen the divers since May and I was hoping to see some little divers besides the two adults. But all I found was one bird and it was extremely sleepy, while the thousands of insects around it were extremely busy!
