It’s been cold since I came back from the Faroe Islands, but it was warm while I was gone and it hasn’t been snowing since then. The snow cover is seriously reduced but there’s enough of it left, it just doesn’t look very nice. The skiing is ok, the tracks are in fairly good condition,…

I have never photographed fireworks. Which is not so surprising, really, considering that the last time I saw fireworks was before I started with photography in the first place. But, 2017 is all about experiencing things (that’s my new year’s resolution, so thus far it’s going great), so I grabbed my gear and walked over…

My favourite track has been prepared for weeks and I didn’t know it! I should’ve just scouted it myself instead of looking at the track status on the web, I don’t know why they don’t mark it as prepared but nevermind now, I know it’s done and it’s all good! So up to Ånnfjället I…

It’s done – I’ve sold my Canon 7D Mark II. The only Canon-anything I have on the shelf now are the 100/2.8 macro and 150-600mm, and I’m going to keep them. The Sony macro is almost the same size as the Canon macro so there’s no point in trading that, and then the tele of course,…

I’m really happy how all the training is producing results. I’m stronger, have more endurance, better balance and even my coordination has improved. A little. I fell three times today, twice before I even got in my car. In my defense, it’s very icy right now, after two days of raining. It finally froze last night, and…

The wind picked up with a perfect timing for the weekend. First it rained on Friday and then turned to snowfall yesterday. The snowing was good of course to cover the ice that was left behind by the rain, but I didn’t even think about going skiing yesterday, not under those conditions. But today was…

This is now my third weekend skiing, and today was the first time I can say that I fully enjoyed it. I’ve really struggled with the grip, but I finally figured it out last Sunday, it wasn’t because I’m just not able to wax the skis properly. There are two factors that contribute to the…

I was just thinking. I did my last skiing in the spring on May 1. Six months and 4 days later, I’m skiing again. So… if we have a similar spring in 2017, then the skiing season will last half a year. Half a freakin’ year of skiing!

With all the snowing this week, I was really itching to go skiing. The Mittåkläppen trail has been prepared since last weekend, initially only for skate but now there’s enough snow to prepare the classic track as well. I wish I could say that I had a really fun day out skiing, but there are so…

It had been snowing at night and the snowfall continued all day. I looked out the window frequently as the landscape just kept getting better and better. And then suddenly there were horses in it. I knew there are horses in Ljusnedal but normally you never see them so I never thought about it. Until…
