  • Earlier I said that I was feeling some fatigue towards the end of my vacation. I assumed it was because I had pushed my body to beyond what it’s capable of, but I shouldn’t have been so hard on myself – I was already fighting an infection by then. In fact, it had started about…

  • My sister and her daughter came for a visit. So on Thursday I drove home, picked them up in Ljusdal, then we drove to the cabin for a couple of days and back home, I left them off in Ljusdal this morning so now the house is quiet and I am the master of my…

  • I found a green spot yesterday but the place is so mosquito infested that I didn’t want to stop and change the lens because the bugs were eating through my jacket. Today I came equipped with the right lens already mounted and a mosquito proof jacket on, so I was able to shoot in peace…

  • I don’t know if I have any record about doing nothing, but I must’ve been very close to it today. I was feeling lazy, after two days of cycling to work and then cycling some more yesterday, I just did not feel like getting up on the bike again. And with zero ideas for pictures,…

  • I’m really, really, starving to find some flowers by now. Without a guide or knowing anyone who has any local knowledge, I have no idea where those beauties are hiding in Föne so all I can do is just randomly go from place to place, hoping that I would come across something interesting.

  • 6th of June is a day off in Sweden, it’s the national day. There’s not a lot of tradition in Sweden to celebrate the day (it’s only existed as a bank holiday for a few years now). But thanks to its timing in the early summer, this day marks the opening of the summer season…

  • It’s another rainy day, but let’s see the positive in it – it’s not snowing. And I was ok with it, I had an idea for the flood plains and overcast weather was just the ticket. Walking around in the flood plains is like walking in a labyrinth. You go in one direction until you…

  • I really like cycling and I enjoy all the small roads here in Föne. One problem though, I don’t like to carry a heavy backpack because, well, my butt doesn’t appreciate the extra weight on the saddle. So usually when I’m cycling, I just carry the camera and zoom lens and sometimes I only take…

  • People normally say that they love spring. I have no idea why. I mean yes, it’s nice it gets warmer after a cold winter, it’s nice that things start to grow… but no, spring for me is my least favourite season. It started when I was a child with allergies. What’s the point with warm…
