Another visit to my new favourite place, it has been raining today but there was a chance of sunny spells in the evening so it was worth a try. Even if the light didn’t work, there’s plenty of cloudberries to pick. I don’t particularly like them, but there’s so much of them this year that…

There’s this lake, Bolagen, north-east from Storvigeln. I’ve never figured out why it’s called like that, as the only meaning that I know for bolagen is the plural of bolag = company (as in corporation). But, a rose by any other name… So I went there this morning to see what the lake is like…

One of my big plans is to hike to Skarsfjället, camp by the lake in the ”bowl” and then conquer the peak (or two). It would be the furthest hike I’ve ever done outside any trails and although this should not be a concern, I make it such. Too many unknowns at once, I feel…

I can see Ånnfjället and Gråstöten from my flat. It’s not only very cool (Ånnfjället is one of my favourite mountains!) but it’s also been interesting to see how long time it takes for the snow to melt. When I moved here, they were covered in snow, just a few black patches. Then it snowed…

You know me, always trying to come up with ways to carry less gear and enjoy the hike more. My latest idea was to get a light duty ballhead. My light duty tripod is already as light as it can go, without seriously compromising usability. But the ballheads are solid metal and it shows on…

Fulfilled one of my longtime plans and cycled the Mittåkläppsvägen road from Bruksvallarna to Djupdalsvallen (and beyond). Emphasis was on cycling, not photo, so I was in snapshot mode. I almost never do this, but this time I wanted to take pictures to show what the day was like and not worry about the light or…

Walked up to Funäsdalsberget last night, it was supposed to be a sunny evening so this was a good chance to take the pictures I scouted a few weeks ago. But, as usual, it didn’t go as planned and the sun wouldn’t come out quite as early as the forecast said. So I walked around…

For years I have been searching for a good spot to shoot panoramas of Ånnfjället in the evening. I’ve found some some good spots but even the best of them have been spoiled by an annoying optical illusion – that the picture is leaning, even when it’s dead straight. Depending on the spot, it’s caused…

Had a full day of fun in Ramundberget! They have a new(ish) ski lift that takes you up in the summer, and the Tusen restaurant on top is open during the lift operating hours. So I took the lift up, walked around on the tundra in search of photo ops, but it wasn’t very easy…

Sunny and calm mornings are not to be taken for granted, so I drove to the red-throated diver location in the morning. Would be nice to get some front lit birds, which will really bring out the red throat of theirs. Walking through the forest I could see one bird take off but this was…
