The first post of the month is also the last post of the month… I don’t think I’ve been this quiet since I started the blog. But there’s a reason for the downtime. My mother passed away on the 4th, I made it to Finland with two days to spare so I could see her…

I think just about every landscape photographer likes to shoot the moon, I certainly do. I want to use the full moon as a feature in a landscape picture, so I’m always checking the full moon rise and set times to see when they coincide with either sunset or sunrise. The window of opportunity is…

What do you do when you have nothing to do? Go to the zoo, of course. Landscape shooting is not an option now that the leaves have fallen, I’m just waiting for the first snow to turn things around again. I walked around the zoo twice today, just to get some exercise while I was…

I continued with sightseeing today, but this time with some members from the camera club. It was actually a mini-tour, we visited five different spots. It didn’t start out too well when we got to the first spot – it was supposed to be a fine view, but honestly, it was marginally better than what…

I did some sightseeing today. The water level in Ljusnan is quite low again, so I wanted to explore the shoreline features but this time on the western side of the river, where I haven’t been so much. My first stop was this summer’s favourite at Knutnäsudden, but the rest of the places were new.…

So, no more bird shooting for me. Last night I got startled just when I was about to fall asleep, by a mouse inside the walls. Last winter I had big problems with the mice, thankfully they never got in the flat but they did chew up the network cable that goes through a hole…

I felt a great need for hiking. Not least because I got myself new hiking boots (and this time they are waterproof for sure, unlike all my previous supposedly waterproof boots which have greatly reduced my faith in Gore-Tex), but I just somehow I wanted to be out using my feet. I haven’t found any…

I have a new bike. I wasn’t going to buy anything as expensive, but it just felt so right. The only reason I needed a new bike anyway was because the old bike is too big, I mean the frame. I’ve had the old bike something like 10 years and I’ve always thought it was…

As mentioned yesterday, I got down to Mon and finally explored the island that was no longer an island. It wasn’t actually that exciting, just the same as elsewhere in Mon, but it has bothered me quite enormously that I haven’t been able to visit the place. Especially because I’ve seen from the mainland side…

Last week I found a nice spot opposite from Mon. Meaning that while I’ve been on the river shore in Mon, I’ve seen a small cape (I think the correct term is ”point”) on the other side. I finally got around to visiting it last week and I was impressed, not so much by the…
