It’s now when I start to warm up for April. Landscape is still very bleak, but in the garden the first snowdrops are in bloom and a lot of other flowers are coming up. And with almost all of the dirt roads (even those which were not plowed in the winter) are free of snow,…

Everybody (including me) has been complaining about how cold it has been. But last weekend, it turned around – we finally started having nights without freezing temperatures, and now the nature is changing so fast that you could probably see it if you looked hard enough. The first flowers are up – I saw a…

It could be that I just have a strange definition of cool, but I think it’s cool that I can stand on my porch and look at Orion and Sirius! Early in the winter, Sirius wouldn’t be visible until around midnight but now at this time of the year they are so high up in the…

It would’ve been the best aurora I have ever seen. I knew that the aurora would put on a good display tonight, but I also knew that the weather forecast said that it would get cloudy. So I waited nervously until it got dark enough and started shooting, there was no doubt that something was…

For the past three evenings I’ve been trying to get my sights on the comet Pan-STARRS without any success. The first evening I was probably looking a little bit in the wrong place, the second evening I was probably out too late and yesterday when my timing and place where right, I couldn’t see it…

It’s been another weird winter. Almost all the snow we have now came in December, and since then we’ve had some warm periods with snowmelt. And now it’s really cold again, it was -20 degrees this morning. But the sun is warm, so even if the winter is trying to stage a comeback, it is…

I haven’t done any skiing in many weeks, since I came to the conclusion that there’s no good skiing to be done in Föne. But that’s just the photographer in me speaking, because I’m not tired of skiing in itself. So in order to get back to skis, I drove to Kajevall yesterday. They have…

Two weeks ago I wondered when the sun would reach enough high in the sky to reach over the Vallåsen mountain and shine on my house. I walked up to the top of the mountain today again and when I came home around lunchtime, there it was… the sun shining right on my balcony! I…
