It’s been a cold weekend and I skipped my planned excursion yesterday, so I was really hoping I could go out today. By noon the temperature was up to -18°C so I dressed warmly and set out. And it wasn’t actually as bad as I expected, breathing was my biggest concern and that was no…

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…

My favourite winter trek has got to be the trail to the Älgsjön lake. For starters, it’s just the perfect distance for a snowshoe hike, maybe a tad short but it’s also nice to come back home and have some energy in reserve. In the summertime there’s a road to Älgsjön, but it’s not really…

So it’s the last day of the year, time to wrap up photography for 2009. The scenery is still nice and wintery, but when you look through the viewfinder it’s not so pretty anymore. Windblown debris and pockmarks from fallen snow, not ideal for landscapes. But I had to try anyway, so I opted for…

Four days off! Thank you very much. The landscape is certainly perfect for the season and the temperature likewise, so I went for a walk and explored a forest road I’ve never taken before. The road is a dead end so I haven’t bothered to go there before, but according to the map there’s a…

I had big plans for today. I was going to hike downstream Svartån from the Svartåvallen road; every time I drive over the bridge there I think that it looks good but the terrain on both sides of the creek looks a bit tough so I’ve never tackled it. I’ve absolutely no idea why I…

I have a bit of a tradition to do a day trip to the mountains in the springtime. When the snow is disappearing at home, there’s still plenty of it in the mountains for skiing – or snowshoeing, as the case may be. I had some concerns about the snow though, because it has been…

The snowing just won’t stop. All day today… it just kept falling. Last year I was photographing crocus buds on the 6th of April, I reckon I won’t be doing that this year. The temperature was at zero, it really limits my excursion options. The problem is that the snow sticks to the snowshoes so…

It was supposed to be overcast with a chance (risk) of snow, so I figured I had good odds at photographing the creek I was betting was still open. My theory is that if you can see your shadow, it’s not good for waterfall photography. So when I got to the creek (had to do…

The scenery hasn’t really improved much from last weekend. It’s been snowing a little bit, but the wind picked up today so I didn’t nurse any false hopes for being productive today. Sure enough, I was nearly at the end of my snowshoe hike when the first real opportunity came up. With the wind picking…
