Since I spoke about the fox, I was thinking about the roe deer that regularly pass through the field as well. Just to prove the point, I saw them this morning when I opened the door to go to work! The roe deer route takes them far down in the field though so I’ve never…
I can see the benefit of having a pet… someone to greet me at the door when I come home. On the other hand, it sounds like a lot of responsibility, I can’t even have flowers indoors – I gave up on that when a couple of cacti died on me. The flowers I have…
Rainy today, so it’s perfect for a visit at the zoo. I now have the year pass so it doesn’t really matter if I don’t get any pictures, at least I get to walk a few kilometres which is far better than watching movies at home. When it’s raining, it means that there’s not a…
I’m really, really, starving to find some flowers by now. Without a guide or knowing anyone who has any local knowledge, I have no idea where those beauties are hiding in Föne so all I can do is just randomly go from place to place, hoping that I would come across something interesting. So far,…
There’s a lot of agriculture in Föne, or at least has been. A lot of fields, some of them clearly abandoned by now, some that might or might not be used, and some with electric fences. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer and what kind of animals and how many will…
Bad weather is supposed to be the photographer’s best friend but today I have serious doubts about it. Snow, sleet, rain. Not that it would stop me, of course, so I went for a walk. Since there’s almost nothing to see anywhere at this point in time, I walked down to the flood plains (don’t…
Here in Sweden we have a concept called aprilväder, April weather. It could be anything – cold and snowing, warm and sunny, and anything in between. Sometimes during the same day. Last year around this time I was wearing a t-shirt while cycling. Today it was snowing. Well ok to be fair, it was the…
I had very lofty ideas about skiing to Svartmorgraven today but I got seriously distracted on the way. I mentioned the reindeer yesterday and today I get coming across them at every turn. So I ended up zigzagging the tundra in search for the best angles to show the reindeer in this tough environment. Of…
I’m starting to get my new home in order, so I can think about other things. Like photography, of course! Since spring has arrived early this year, we drove around a little bit to find some birds that you normally can find in the fields while they wait for their nesting grounds to melt. But…
Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…
