It was supposed to be overcast with a chance (risk) of snow, so I figured I had good odds at photographing the creek I was betting was still open. My theory is that if you can see your shadow, it’s not good for waterfall photography. So when I got to the creek (had to do…

Interesting – first month since Feb 2007 that it didn’t get above freezing. Or it did, but it was frozen by the time I got home and made my observations. So nevermind. Anyway, one thing is for sure – we now have more snow than we’ve had since I started making these observations. And I’m…

It looked like I would be in luck – clear skies in the afternoon. Then at sunset, clouds in the west. Argh! No problems to see the moon and Venus, but with the clouds in the horizon, the orange gradient was conspicuous in its absence. When’s my next chance? Hmm… 4 weeks from now, actually.…

Yesterday was half overcast, but when I came home the sky was starting to clear and Venus and the crescent moon were shining brightly in south-west. Photographing the crescent is one of my ambitions, so I set out although it was a little bit too late – there was very little light left in the…

The scenery hasn’t really improved much from last weekend. It’s been snowing a little bit, but the wind picked up today so I didn’t nurse any false hopes for being productive today. Sure enough, I was nearly at the end of my snowshoe hike when the first real opportunity came up. With the wind picking…

There’s snow and then there’s snow. The snow we have at the moment is not good for hiking, it’s very dry and powdery so even the snowmobile trails are soft. You waste a lot of energy in sinking and sliding with every step instead of going forward. So there’s something to be said for above…

The landscape looks a bit scabby at the moment with these odd clumps of snow on the trees, so I’m not really inspired even if it was a gloriously sunny day. Just when I got out in the afternoon though, the clouds started to drift in and I ended up doing my hike in muddy…

A nice wintery January, there was a warm spell in the middle but nothing that really ruined the overall look of things because we also got plenty enough of snow. * * * Temperature (High): 3°C Temperature (Low): -16°C Temperature (Average): -7°C Barometer (High): 1031 mbar Barometer (Low): 992 mbar Barometer (Avg): 1010 mbar Total…

I can handle sunlight and I can handle overcast, but when it’s blue skies above and sunlight heavily filtered through a persistent cloud bank in the horizon, I came completely undone. I just couldn’t make any sense out of it, it was light but it also wasn’t? I was totally uninspired to take any pictures…

For my weekend excursions, I pretty much only have two directions to choose from. I can go north-west to the Kvarnsjön lake, or south-west to the Älgsjön lake (my favourite). There used to be a third option to the east down to the Loossjön lake, but I think there was a dispute with the land…
