I’m off to a four day camping trip to Sylarna! I have been wanting to do this for years, because Sylarna is unlike any other mountain here in the southern part of the Swedish mountain range. Even the mighty Helags is rather boring in comparison. It’s just big, with one pyramid-like peak. Sylarna on the…

What a wonderful week it has been! Who would have thought that I would enjoy Gotska Sandön more than Greenland? Because truthfully, that’s what I feel. Greenland was … icebergs and tundra and chained dogs. Gotska Sandön is beaches, dunes, forests, flowers, trees, and a total immersion in the surroundings. Greenland remained distant – I got…

It was going to be a long walk ahead today, and I wanted to be carrying as little as possible. So I only took one lens per camera (wideangle with Sony and macro with Canon), no tripod and I even left an extra layer of clothes behind me. Which I came to regret quite soon,…

When you walk in the pine forest, the forest floor is mostly covered in heather which is growing about twice as tall as the heather we have at home. But then in some places there are these bright green spots of moss and cowberries and we heard an explanation to this today. Some years ago,…

One thing there’s not so much of on Gotska Sandön is water. Yes, it’s an island and it’s surrounded by water, but I mean sweet water – there’s not a puddle of water to be seen, unless it’s man-made. Until today of course, when it started raining. And then pouring. I missed out on noting…

Even though this is a course, there’s no pressure – the idea is quite simply to walk around the island and discover the plant life and hopefully pick up some pointers to use at home during botanical excursions. I have a tendency to overlook some ”uninteresting” plants but there’s no such thing here! We started by…

A month ago I was among the icebergs and snow on the largest island in the world, and now I’m on a sunny and sandy beach on the tiny island of Gotska Sandön, some 40 km north from Gotland off the east coast of Sweden. The whole island is a national park, and for a good…

I had an afternoon flight home, which left the morning for me to get re-acquainted with Copenhagen. And a funny thing happened … I felt nothing. Zero. Zip. I thought it would be nice to see it again, but as I was walking around, I just couldn’t figure out for the life of me, why…

Well this is what happens when I try to process my pictures in a hurry in between packing my things for the move (on Saturday)… I just noticed that I had some pictures which I had taken after midnight and thus they ended up in the 2015-05-22 folder, while the actual last day of shooting…

We got another boat ride! It was a last minute arrangement since we had a day to spare, and so we got to go to a fishing village (Oqaatsut, or Rodebay) some way north from Ilulissat. I did take some iceberg pictures on the way, but it wasn’t so nice to be on the deck…
