The day was just as grey as we were afraid of. Just some light drizzle, but very low cloud so the only thing clear was that we couldn’t shoot any landscape today. We decided to drive through the Kootenay NP, which normally is good for wildlife sightings. Except on a day like this, not even…

The morning dawned dark and rainy. Not much to do about it, so we just drove off to Lake Louise. When we got there, we found ourselves in snowfall.. or sleet anyway. It was cold! Quite a contrast to the sweating we had to do at the hoodoos on Monday in scorching sunshine. We didn’t…

We had some good photo ideas from yesterday’s hike around the Emerald Lake, so we decided to go there again and see the same in the morning light. Except, the morning light was extremely diffused, with a lot of high cloud (and a touch of smoke I’m sure). So I did a bunch of closeups…

There’s plenty of interesting things to see here, natural and unnatural alike. We had decided to skip the further exploration of the Glacier NP so we had an extra day at Yoho NP instead, and this gave us a chance to hike up to the Hoodoos. The weather is great – warm! – but the…

Early in the morning, we headed east from Vancouver towards the Glacier National Park. No problems with the driving, and we got there early enough. A disappointing factor is that there is a lot of smoke in the air, as there are some forest fires in the region. Without any rain, the smoke is going…

Greetings from Vancouver! Arrived here safe and sound. The trip was rather boring, which is a good thing. I should add a note about the security at Heathrow though. I spoke with SAS support on Thursday to ask about the cabin baggage allowance. I was told that it’s normal (other than no liquids and gels).…

Well folks, it’s time for my summer holiday. I’ll be off to Canada now! I should be able to get online from time to time, especially in the first week, so hopefully I will soon have some nice photos to share with you. Or let’s put it this way – hopefully I will soon have…

Another week, another mountain range. I drove to Mittåkläppen, parked the car about 1 km past Djupdalsvallen and started walking. After I noticed that the road continued in fine conditions, I was a bit bummed with myself for not driving further. I had never been there before so I didn’t know how it would look…

This is what I look forward to every autumn – wake up see the landscape covered with the first snow. Somehow I wasn’t all that happy now though to see the white stuff coming down heavy because I was not prepared at all for winter conditions. The visibility improved a little bit during my generous…

My main target for the trip was the Storulvån mountain station. It has a good reputation and it’s suitable for day hikers like me because the place is surrounded by mountains. The prices are a bit on the high side for something that’s part of the Youth Hostel chain, however let’s not forget that we’re…
