It’s spring, there’s no doubt about that. Warm during the day and cold during the night, and the trails are covered with crushed ice rather than soft snow. I went skiing yesterday and the glide was fabulous – unfortunately it was as good sideways and backwards as it was forward. So I took the snowshoes…

I surprised myself by making an effort last night. There was half a chance to see some auroras and now that the weather has turned for the warmer, I thought it’s worth a try. Even if the wind was really bad so I knew that any trees I would put in the frame would be…

Sometimes when I’m on an excursion, I come back with pictures which share a common theme. It can be the subject matter or the style of photography, but you can see this thread quite clearly. The weather plays a big role on what kind of pictures I end up with, but other than that I…

I had such a blast on Friday’s moonlight walk that I just had to do it again, even if the moon wasn’t quite full any more last night. I learned that the margins are very small when it comes to moonlight, and the moon phase is just one of the factors. There was a lot…

Thanks to the solar eruptions earlier this week, there was a fair chance of seeing some aurora. I was looking at the aurora forecast all evening yesterday but unfortunately it didn’t look like we would get any northern lights this far south. But since it was a full moon night and the snow cover was…

My winter photography depends on the weather much more than other seasons. While it doesn’t matter if it’s sunshine or snowfall, the wind plays a big role and it’s not just for the current day. What I mean is that the forest is ugly after the wind strips the snow from the trees and until…

I paid a quick visit to Messlingen yesterday, I had to check the cabin. In case you’re wondering why there hasn’t been any updates about it, it’s because I don’t want to talk about it! Trust me you’ll find out when it’s ready, I’m still hoping that one day it will be… Anyway, I got…

Yesterday was about as un-interesting as it gets, photographically speaking. Today would’ve been ever worse, so a visit to the zoo was just the ticket to lift up the weekend. I was hoping to get some pictures of the wolves, it’s almost three years since from my last wolf pictures and that’s just too long…

I’m getting tired of the local trails in Loos, so I drove to Hamra today. The snowmobile trails go in three directions from Hamra: west towards Västbacka, south towards Malungshed and north to Västersjö, where the trail branches towards Tandsjöborg and Loos. I was interested in the Västersjö trail, because it crosses over some marshland…

Things are looking up. It has been snowing all day and once for a change the wind is not messing up the landscape, so it is starting to look really nice. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s skiing trip, but it wasn’t half bad today either. If I was drenched in freezing rain last week,…
