Somehow autumn has gotten far along without me noticing it. The peak colours will be next week which is right on schedule, that’s the week I normally have vacation. Except not this year. Which I regret. Almost. Instead of enjoying autumn here at home, I’m going to Iceland in two weeks so I have to…

I have previously mentioned that every time I try to shoot a nice sunset, the sunset isn’t nice. To prove my point, I tried to shoot the sunset this evening. It wasn’t nice. The evening however, it was very nice. Måns-Erstjärnen is probably my #1 favourite location during calm weather and I’ve had some magical moments…

I went hiking for a change. The goal was to do two peaks today, Rutstöten (1098m) and Gråhöjden (1192m). They are in the same direction and so close together that it would be wasteful to only do one of the peaks at a time. And in fact, had I not already done Volldalshöjden, it would…

I finally got my new car! Actually, I got it last week – I drove to Östersund to pick up the car and my sister, who came to visit me for the weekend. It was great to see her and we had a good time with hiking, walking, eating waffles and chatting. All of that…

For only the second time this summer, I used my three-legged friend. The first time, incidentally, was at Livsäterån in early June, and today I was at Livsäterån again. I’ve probably said this before, but it felt good to be using the tripod and a 10-stop ND filter. I’ve been in snapshot mode all summer…

One of my (many) goals this summer was to cycle to Djupdalsvallen from home. I was going to do that last year, but I chickened out and drove to Bruksvallarna and then biked. No chickens today! The weather forecast had promised sunshine but the clouds were stubborn and the sun still wasn’t out when I…

So I finally did the long hike to Skarsfjället and back! I drove to Slättansvallen in Ramundberget, unloaded my MTB and biked (well, mostly – there were some bits where I had to walk/carry the bike) all the way to Tvärån. That’s about 9 km (return) that I didn’t have to walk, and I was…

Ever since I moved here, I’ve had this idea that I could hike on top of Ånnfjället in the evening after work. Somehow I never got around to doing it last year, but now that summer has finally arrived here (after a brief guest appearance in June), I did it yesterday! In theory, you could…

I counted my ”60 toppar” peaks the other day and found to my astonishment that I already have 31 of them! And as of today, 32. I drove to Vauldalen just across the border and hiked to Gruvsjöfjället. It was a very easy hike because you can follow a road/quad trail almost to the top, and the altitude…

I don’t always have to get to the top of a mountain… sometimes it’s nice to just walk around it. So I drove to Bruksvallarna and took a very long time walking up to Kariknallen, because there are a lot of flowers here and I was equipped with a macro lens. Shooting more macro was…
