It’s nice to see that green is becoming the dominant colour now. The fields are more green than brown and the trees are shooting off leaves and pollen. I’m still searching for flowers in Föne and not doing a very good job at it, but then again it’s still early days and most flowers haven’t…

Shock, horror, how could I forget to post pale pasque flower pictures when on Monday I finally, after so many years, got to see them again? Having searched for them high and low, and then missed the timing a few times, the happiness was total when the location at Gröntjärn had a grand display on…

There’s a lot of agriculture in Föne, or at least has been. A lot of fields, some of them clearly abandoned by now, some that might or might not be used, and some with electric fences. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer and what kind of animals and how many will…

The sun is out today so I went cycling. Even though the thermometre didn’t show any impressive numbers, I knew from experience that it would soon feel warm so I wore a t-shirt and a thin wind jacket and fingerless gloves. This time however it didn’t help me no matter how hard I was pedalling,…

Bad weather is supposed to be the photographer’s best friend but today I have serious doubts about it. Snow, sleet, rain. Not that it would stop me, of course, so I went for a walk. Since there’s almost nothing to see anywhere at this point in time, I walked down to the flood plains (don’t…

As I mentioned yesterday, I did a bicycle trip to check out some new places. Cycling the tarmac roads is boring, so I took the gravel road that runs almost parallel with the paved road. There are loads and loads of small roads around here, part of them thanks to the military installations that were…

Labour day weekend! Well not really, I did a brief appearance at work on Monday but it’s been a lot of time off anyway. So let’s see… On Saturday we drove to Gröntjärn, thinking that for sure we would see some pale pasque flowers. Yes we did, only problem was that they’re still budding. Gotta…

Here in Sweden we have a concept called aprilväder, April weather. It could be anything – cold and snowing, warm and sunny, and anything in between. Sometimes during the same day. Last year around this time I was wearing a t-shirt while cycling. Today it was snowing. Well ok to be fair, it was the…

Another exciting thing about moving is that you have a whole new region to explore. I’m familiar with Föne only as far as driving through a few times but I’ve never stopped to take a closer look at anything. The first thing I did was to study the map and I found an interesting looking…

It seems like lately I’ve been in a lens frenzy. In the past, I’ve normally bought (changed) one lens per year on average. Last year I got two and now I have yet another new lens. The thing is, since I got into wideangle photography, the Canon 24-105mm lens that’s been my normal walkaround lens…
