You know how I love shooting the full moon rising (or setting) over the landscape. I rarely succeed, but I often try! It’s full moon tomorrow but the best chance of shooting it was today – moonrise was just after sunset so I might just be able to catch the moon before the sky got…

With the lack of anything better to do, I had a look back at the pictures from the hiking season. It was really one of the best summers ever, even though it got off to a bad start. First I had to wait for my knee to recover from the injury I sustained during the…

It’s still overcast, but the clouds are not quite as low as yesterday. There’s very little definition in the clouds, everything just looks… soft. In the summer when it’s high pressure, we have the puffy cumulus clouds against a blue sky. In the winter with high pressure, we have a soft grey sky. So, better…

The weather is turning colder and it was snowing last week. Here in Ljusnedal, it was a wet snow which didn’t settle on the ground, but as soon as you got a bit higher, it was proper snowfall. When the clouds finally cleared, I was looking at Ånnfjället which was completely covered in the white…

It’s here – the wind and the rain and the snow. Basically, normal Icelandic weather! It was raining by Mývatn but as soon as we started driving up a mountain, it turned to snow instead. Photography became a bit of a challenge, but we made a brave effort at Krafla, a water filled volcano crater.…

I have a new favourite place in Iceland. Kerlingarfjöll! I could easily spend a vacation in this one place alone! It has both the big and small landscape and fascinating details, all shrouded in the steam from hot springs and fumaroles. And to think that we almost missed out on it, as the torrential rains…

We spent another day in the lava desert, and it was another day with good weather. The wind only bothered us occasionally, and some places were mirror calm (although typically, as soon as we had cameras out, the wind broke the water). In the evening we visited a wonderful valley with more waterfalls than you…

I wasn’t going to do this, but here I am again – in Iceland! I was planning to do it next year, but a cancellation opened up a spot on this year’s trip with Creative Adventures and I thought, why wait, so I took the spot. We arrived yesterday and had time to settle in…

The season is closing – last day of business at Djupdalsvallen! You better bet I was going there. This time on foot, I walked from Ramundberget in the hopes of finding some nice colours. Alas, the birches are very affected by the moth larvae, and with the cloud cover being what it was, the little…

Hamrafjället is another quick peak that you can do after work when the sun sets just after 7pm. I also love the view towards north with all the lakes, although today I didn’t feel like standing around and look at it. The wind was biting cold! The season is winding to its close… soon the…
