Remember that big rain we had in August? I paid a visit to the small creek that had caused the road cave-in back then. I followed the creek downstream and was amazed at all the evidence of the flooding that were still scattered around the forest floor. The grass was flattened out in the flow…

[back to our regular programming] So this miserable and warm December drags on. It’s been a while since I’ve done any serious photography, so I decided to check out a creek close to home. I don’t know why I haven’t been there before – it would be a walking distance away, as the crow flies.…

That’s a photo I took on Sunday. It was a great day, it was. A lot of snow. I just haven’t bothered to fire up the computer to check the pictures I took until last night… when I installed the new 1 GB memory that I had managed to swap for 2×512 MB. That should…

Last winter I discovered a great place for shooting sunsets. There was a trinity of pines left after the forest was cut last year. I’ve calculated that the spot is suitable for shooting sunsets from late November to early January, so now I’ve just been waiting for the days to get shorter. Today when I…

I got my ND8 filter this week so of course I just had to try it, despite the snow-slash-sleet-slash-rain that was falling from the sky. The Stormjacket works fine for the camera, and shooting water means that the camera is pointed down so the front of the lens is protected from the drops. All I…

I think we can declare the skiing season open now! Yesterday I discovered that the track has already been prepared, so I had been looking forward to skiing all day today. When I got there, I found some places though where the wind had blown the snow off, but mostly it was just fine. It…

We were supposed to get a storm here last weekend, but it never happened. There was a stiff breeze at most, but otherwise just sunshine. The rest of the Sweden apparently suffered a lot worse weather… and now they get their vengeance, as we are hit by a snow storm. When I drove home, the…

So, there we go. Winter. It started snowing after lunchtime and I soon realised that I was in trouble – it was going to snow more in Loos and I had 60 km to drive with summer tyres on the car. I left work early and initially it was quite ok, some wet snow on…

There’s not much of it, but it’s white and it’s cold, so it qualifies. The first snow of the season! I was sure that the thin layer of snow would evaporate by the time I got home, but there’s still a little bit left. More is being forecast by the end of the week… I…

Determined not to let the whole weekend pass by without pictures, I drove to my favourite creek for more water photography. It has been raining non-stop since Wednesday night but today it was just foggy and light drizzle at most. Rain or no rain, it sure was wet – the forest was absolutely soaked. First…
