The water keeps rising. I’m wondering if it’s possible that this big boulder in the middle of the river can get completely covered.

Cycled the Lossen road for the first time this year, with the following observations: The cranes are not at home yet. The little tarn by their (last year’s) nesting site is still covered with ice The Lossen reservoir is almost empty The spring water is as good as it ever was (I filled my bottle…

May appears to be a month when everything is possible – I’ve been skiing, walking and cycling so far, and now I can add snowshoeing and hiking to the list. That’s really all the outdoors activities I ever do (after I point blank refused to run any more, because I hate it and can’t get…

The water level keeps rising in the river, but it’s not flooding. It’s barely higher than last summer’s peak after an intensive period of raining, but as you can see, there’s still plenty of snow on the mountains. And the warm weather continues! Yesterday I drove to Fjällnäs (for no reason really, just to waste…

The warm weather has arrived! The snow and ice are disappearing fast, I’ve been checking out some rocks in the river and the water level has risen at least 5 cm since this morning – one of my marker rocks is under water now. While I wait for the small forest roads to become passable,…

That just happened. I was skiing in May, first time I’ve ever done it! And it wasn’t just a small nominal loop, but a proper 20K trip from Bruksvallarna to Djupdalsvallen.

I think I just solved the telephoto problem I’ve had with my Sony system. Sony’s cameras are far ahead of their lens selection and there’s two things that I’ve missed, a large aperture extreme wideangle for night photo, and a long telephoto. When Zeiss announced the Batis 2.8/18 a couple of weeks ago, it filled the wideangle…

I thought yesterday was great. Well, today was better! This post-season season is new to me and honestly, it’s well worth the long and cold winter! Which, by the way, didn’t feel very long, and wasn’t very cold either. Apart from those few weeks in January when my car broke. But let’s not dwell on that… I…

The season officially ends this weekend. The tourists will go home and finding parking space in front of ICA will be easy again. And the mountains, they will be all ours! We had some more snow yesterday and when the sun came out today, it revealed gloriously white mountains all around. It really is a stunning…
