Clear blue skies, sparkling new snow, a few minus degrees but very warm in the sun. It’s a classic late winter’s day! I decided to do the same skiing trip as yesterday, thought it would be a different experience now that the tracks are new and the sun is shining. And so it was, I…

I finally got my GPS unit, Garmin eTrex Venture to be specific. So now it’s just a matter of skiing and hiking and mapping out my favourite trails! Speaking of skiing, I did a tour today. We only have two prepared tracks here – the short 2.5km illuminated tracks and a longer trail (about 10km)…

I went to the zoo today. Perfect weather – sunshine and a little bit of snowfall. At the same time. A few years ago I visited the zoo almost every other week, but after I started shooting film I gave up on that and then I moved to Los which added 50km between me and…

Just when I had given up on winter after one more warm spell, it came back with a vengeance. A couple of days of snowfall and cold weather, and we have a contender for the best weekend of the winter!To get things rolling, we had the annual snowmobile event in Los today and I wanted…

After a few warm days it got a bit colder today. It means that it’s very icy everywhere – even my normally reliable winter boots were slipping and I wasn’t sure if the afternoon walk was such a good idea after all. Maybe it’s the weather or maybe it’s just simply that time of the…

My throat is still sore but otherwise I’m starting be restored from last weekend. I was going to drive to Järvsö today, first to photograph dogs and then their wilder cousins at Järvzoo. But… winter is making a comeback and snow is falling thick so there wasn’t much point to drive that far when there’s…

Since it’s weekend, I went for a walk as usual. It’s been keeping warm so I didn’t need a cap, or thermal underwear, or winter boots, or camera… in fact, I didn’t even need the gloves. This is supposed to be January?! Not any January I have ever seen… we had better winter weather in…

Since the beautiful winter weather keeps, I thought it was time for a serious walk. So I took the shortest way to the camping area by the lake and crossed the lake and a narrow strip of forest to get to the big bog. On my way I noticed that they had just laid new…

Just saw the news. They got 1m of snow in Hudiksvall today. Hudiksvall is on the coast, just over 100km east from Los. When I lived in Ljusdal, it was my closest ”big” town (they have Åhlens). But really… 1 metre of snow?! What did we get here… all of 1cm? Well ok a bit…

Last day of the long weekend. I was out before sunrise, walked up Furuberget again. That’s 3.5 times in 3 days… other people normally take the lift up… Anyway, I observed that the snow has melted away from the trees on the high hills, for example the tall pines on the Eagle Mountain are now…
