Thanks to the solar eruptions earlier this week, there was a fair chance of seeing some aurora. I was looking at the aurora forecast all evening yesterday but unfortunately it didn’t look like we would get any northern lights this far south. But since it was a full moon night and the snow cover was…

Easter is a classic time for a skiing (or snowshoeing) trip in the mountains. The sunny fifth season days really are the best up in the mountains so I have a tradition to do a trip every year, normally I pick any sunny Saturday in March or very early April but with Easter giving us…

Today was probably the warmest day of the spring yet. Warm and sunny, it was incredibly nice to be outdoors. The snow is very slushy at the moment so you foot sinks through even when following snowmobile tracks, but I was ok on snowshoes – for the most part, anyway. But it got me thinking,…

I talked about the Moose Lake hike a while back. Another favourite hike I have is north-west to the Kvarnsjön lake, then south to Ryggskog and home via Gäddtjärnen. I used to do it a lot when I was still skiing, but not so much now that I’m snowshoeing because it’s a tad long for…

I had high hopes for great winter scenery, because it’s been snowing for a couple of days solid now. But alas, I had a really tough time finding subjects. A few twigs sticking out of the snow turned out to be the highlight of the day… Oh well, one more to add to my minimalistic…

Sometimes four seasons isn’t enough. When the sun breaks out from its winter hibernation and you feel it warm on your face while the landscape is still covered with snow, that’s what we call the fifth season. It’s that time of the year when you can go skiing wearing a t-shirt and when the sunglasses…

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…

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…
