I had quite a day yesterday. In the morning I had the pleasure of having the squirrel as company and was quite happy about the resulting pictures, and then in the afternoon we did a skiing trip in Lofsdalen and in the evening I shot the perigee moon rising over the Hovärken mountain. I can’t…
Yesterday was such a great day that it was unrealistic to think that I would have another one today. My hike started off cold, windy and moody and when I was climbing up to mount Ramundberget from Walles, I found that my thighs were a lot more tired than the rest of my body. I…
Today I hiked to the peak of Lill-Skarven (1224 m). It was promising to be a relatively easy and quick hike, except that if you park your car by the road 84 in Tänndalen, the entire hike is uphill from there to the peak. The only places where it levelled off at all was when…
I had a couple of visitors today, one of them all the way from Spain. It would’ve been really nice to show some beautiful mountains to him, but the powers that be decided otherwise. It was raining, and if it wasn’t rain then it was drizzle. But the autumn colours are there, no matter the…
I’ve been in desperate need of a vacation, and now I finally have it – one week in the mountains in the autumn colours is just what the doctor ordered. In preparation of the vacation, I had been studying the maps quite intensively. After all these years, I’m still finding new things, like this oddly…
8 och 9 av 60 toppar Ösjövålen och Ösjökläppen Dagens vandring gick till Ösjöstugan och och vidare till Ösjövålen och Osjökläppen. Det är en lång vandring så jag ville göra det lite lättare genom att ta skidliften upp från Ramundberget, vilket innebar att det var lätt vandring till Ösjöstugan. Leden går upp därifrån och när…
I have another mini-holiday this weekend. And there’s only really one place where I can spend it – the mountains. Today’s hike was at Ramundberget. I’ve read about the waterfalls of Tvärån and because the day was going to be overcast, waterfalls were just the right thing to shoot. Problem is… the waterfalls weren’t as…
Had a busy day yesterday. Busy in a good way – one day trip to the mountains, I was in desperate need of a break. The last time I had any vacation was September! Of course, we can debate how relaxing it is to drive hundreds of km in a day and hike up and…
Easter is a classic time for a skiing (or snowshoeing) trip in the mountains. The sunny fifth season days really are the best up in the mountains so I have a tradition to do a trip every year, normally I pick any sunny Saturday in March or very early April but with Easter giving us…
Not sure if I’ve mentioned that I have pictures at a stock agency. I’ve mentioned it on the front page of my homepage but here in the blog I’ve kept quiet about it… mostly because there’s nothing to say. I average about one sale per year, it’s a numbers game and I only have a…
