I’m going to Svalbard! And in order to that, I first had to get myself to Oslo Gardermoen to catch the flight. I took the scenic route via Rondane and when the Rondane road turned to rough gravel, I regretted my choice. The view wasn’t that good… especially having already seen it two years ago.…

The last update from the Crane Watch: still incubating. I’m off to Svalbard tomorrow and by the time I get back, the crane babies have hatched for sure and the family will be long gone from the nest. But I hope I have some other animal pictures – bird or otherwise – to show when…

Exactly a year ago (plus a day) I moved to Ljusnedal. It was a rainy day and quite cool, and on the mountain it had snowed the previous night, so it was almost all white. What a difference! Today it was t-shirt weather, even when the sun insisted being behind a cloud half the day.…

All the plant life is happy about the rain, and the sunny days ahead will surely transform the landscape soon. And the pollen season has started – I don’t have to look at the birches to know it, it’s my itching nose that’s a dead giveaway. I started eating antihistamins a couple of weeks ago to build…

It has been raining for two days and it shows – the river is higher now than at the snowmelt peak. But today there was a chance of a sunny break so I headed to Ånnfjället. I needed a mountain which I could access without having to do a long trek through the forest, which…

Say bye bye to the warm weather. This morning Ånnfjället looked a lot more pale than in the picture but there was just enough sunshine during the day to melt the new powder. It was chilly when I went cycling, and it wasn’t just me gotten used to the warm weather – it was snowing when…

The water keeps rising. I’m wondering if it’s possible that this big boulder in the middle of the river can get completely covered.

May appears to be a month when everything is possible – I’ve been skiing, walking and cycling so far, and now I can add snowshoeing and hiking to the list. That’s really all the outdoors activities I ever do (after I point blank refused to run any more, because I hate it and can’t get…

The warm weather has arrived! The snow and ice are disappearing fast, I’ve been checking out some rocks in the river and the water level has risen at least 5 cm since this morning – one of my marker rocks is under water now. While I wait for the small forest roads to become passable,…
