Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

It got cloudy yesterday afternoon and it was still cloudy in the morning, so we didn’t have to do another early morning. Which was just as well, because our plan was to hike to Helags today so it was good to have a good night’s sleep in reserve. We left after lunch and there were…

Every photographer knows that sunrise and sunset are the best time for shooting. I’m ok with sunsets, but sunrises tend to require such early wakeups that I’m having a hard time with it. But all I really need is some company to motivate me to get up and go out, and so it was that we…

I was going to do a short walk, just long enough to see if my new insoles fixed the Haglöfs-boot chafing problem. I took Hateful Hill* #2 up to Kappruskaftet and I was just going to walk around for a while, and get my 365. It was cloudy so it wasn’t really any good for…

I painted two out of the remaining three windows before a late lunch, and then drove to Djupdalsvallen to finish off my vacation with a waffle. I’m a little bit shocked but I think I’m getting over waffles… or at least the whipped cream on top. The coffee was good though, as usual. My knee…

Once again, we got up early (no alarm clocks needed) and the first order of the day was to visit Dalsnibba, which is a viewpoint at 1500 MASL and advertises itself as giving the highest view over a fjord in the world. The fjord in question being Geiranger, and you can also see the serpentine…

The night wasn’t exactly warm, but I was quite cozy in my tent. It didn’t mean that I got a good night’s sleep though, I just couldn’t fall asleep at first and then I kept waking up during the early morning hours. Nevermind, this landscape is so awesome that it’s impossible to feel tired and…

The plan for today was to drive to Jotunheimen and camp at Juvashytta. We took the scenic route southwest of Rondane and at first we had the weather with us, with some sunshine and blue sky. We stopped at every potential spot for pictures but I guess the Norwegians have too much of the nice…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…
