We have a lot of roe deer around here, more than I ever saw in Föne. I’ve seen them regularly walk past the house and amazingly, they are not as shy here as they were in Föne. A few times I’ve come surprisingly close while walking or cycling on the driveway and the animals just look…
I’ve noticed that my mood and photographic opportunities are directly related. When a long time passes without any good photo sessions, I start to get depressed. Then a day comes that I get no less than two reasons to exercise the camera and suddenly I’m as happy as ever! It was overcast yesterday but late…
It’s the last day of the Easter break, thank god! I can’t take this any more. Grey skies, wind, warm temperatures, this is the worst Easter since… ehrm… well, it hasn’t been a good Easter. We’re supposed to have sunshine! So today I gave up. I had planned to go skiing but I just simply…
I need a plan. If I don’t have a plan for the next day when I go to bed, I will wake up without a plan and the day is pretty much ruined already. Last night, I didn’t make a plan. This morning, I woke up without a plan. So I spent the whole morning on…
We had a surprise in store for us today! We were going to take a boat trip to a loch which is otherwise inaccessible, unless you’re prepared to hike through rough terrain (and a lot of mud). We drove to Elgol again but instead of going back to the hotel after the morning shoot, we…
We are in between seasons now, but the Andersborg waffle cabin in Tänndalen has been open, until this weekend. So if you want any waffles in the mountains, this is the last chance until the winter season begins! Not one to miss out on the opportunity, I did today’s hike to Andersborg and beyond. Specifically,…
Took my bike and Mega-Tamron to the red-throated diver lake yesterday evening. The pair of divers was there, but I couldn’t find the chick. At first I thought it’s hiding at the southern end of the lake like it was the last time I saw it, because the adults birds started swimming that way almost…
Sunny and calm mornings are not to be taken for granted, so I drove to the red-throated diver location in the morning. Would be nice to get some front lit birds, which will really bring out the red throat of theirs. Walking through the forest I could see one bird take off but this was…
Last week I visited a small lake in search of a geocache. I found the cache and in the process I scared two small chicks that had been hiding on the water’s edge close to the cache. Further out on the lake I saw an adult bird, but of course I had neither a camera…
While everyone else was busy dancing around maypoles, I used my day on the first ”real” hike of the summer. And indeed, it felt like summer, despite the snow and the little bit of ice I found on the tarn which was target for the day. The tarn is between the peaks of Lill-Skarven and…
