Last night the fjord was filling up with icebergs again, but this morning it was mostly empty. And the wind has picked up, but at least there’s nothing coming down from the sky which is good. But then after breakfast… it started raining, and we spent the morning indoors looking thru some pictures from the…
Seven hours is all I got. It was a good quality seven hours, but by 5am I just couldn’t sleep any more even if maybe I had needed a bit more. Breakfast is served from 7am, so I got time to go through yesterday’s pictures and write the blog. There’s no free wifi in Greenland…
This is it, I’m finally in Greenland! I flew to Copenhagen last night because I needed to catch an early flight to Kangerlussuaq. CPH turned out to be warm, and the hotel room even warmer. I couldn’t make it cool even after opening two windows and I could barely sleep in that tropic heat (that’s…
What an amazing day it was yesterday! I had been looking forward to it the whole week, and this trip fulfilled and even exceeded all my expectations. (If you don’t want to read the long story, just scroll down for all the pictures!) Our first stop was at Ikea in Sundsvall to eat brunch. I…
A few years ago I was out with some members from the camera club, we were waiting for the raining to stop so we talked about all things camera. The first mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras had just entered the market and while I was not interested in getting one myself, I thought there was a lot…
Time for my annual look back at the monthly highlights during the past year! 2014 is of course the year of my ”365 pictures” project, but it wasn’t much of a success and I can say straight away that none of the pictures in this year’s selection is directly from this project. I was very…
It’s one of these pictures again. I’m struggling with the Tokina wideangle, I just think it behaves very erratically. The first time I had the Tokina lens (with the 40D), I had no problems with whatsoever, that’s why I liked it so much. But now… at first I thought that there’s something wrong with the…
My new neighbours have a dog outside that rather annoyingly barks every time I walk by. So I thought, maybe I could make the dog get used to me and went up to the enclosure. Initially it was all good, the dog was sniffing my hand just like dogs do. And then it started growling…
On the last day in Iceland, we tried something new – we skipped the early morning session and had breakfast first, before heading out to the field. We drove to the same area where we were yesterday, but just stopped at slightly different spots. There had been more snow overnight… or maybe not snow, but…
Another morning spent at Jökulsárlón. You’d think that it gets boring by now, but the conditions were different again (more wind, less rain) and the beach in particular was different – the wind had driven in small icebergs so there was much more ice in the water than there had been on the previous mornings.…
