Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

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…

Tested the Sigma 70-200/2.8 today and was disappointed to see that it’s no better than it was before. It’s weird that the autofocus problem with the camera only affected wideangles because you’d expect that whatever focus problems you have, they would be multiplied with longer focal lengths. But the Sigma is exactly the same as…

We have enough snow for skiing at home, but I wanted a real winter landscape and I was sure I would find it in Harsa, so I drove there in the morning. I was right, the trees were covered in snow and there was at least twice much snow on the ground as in Ljusdal. The…

I had big problems last night with deciding where I would go today. Having stared at the maps all evening, I finally saw an option that I never thought of before so that’s what I decided to do. I drove to Tänndalen and took the snowcat to the Andersborg cabin (and surprise, I did not…

I said yesterday that I wasn’t even feeling thirsty during my trip, but it was apparently just wishful thinking. I got a headache in the evening which only got worse during the night, and it’s the kind of a headache that comes from dehydration and that painkillers don’t cure. So I had a restless night,…

What a contrast it is to the trip in March. Back then it was cold, windy and overcast and now it’s just sunshine from a cloudless sky, hardly any wind to speak of and therefore quite warm, even if the thermometer insisted that it was just a couple of degrees above freezing. By the time…
