Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…

Made a record short trip to the cabin. I had to make sure that the gutters were not blocked by fallen leaves because when I left in September, there was still plenty of leaves in the trees. But as it turned out, there’s been a lot of wind and gutters were clean. I had a…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

It got cloudy yesterday afternoon and it was still cloudy in the morning, so we didn’t have to do another early morning. Which was just as well, because our plan was to hike to Helags today so it was good to have a good night’s sleep in reserve. We left after lunch and there were…

Every photographer knows that sunrise and sunset are the best time for shooting. I’m ok with sunsets, but sunrises tend to require such early wakeups that I’m having a hard time with it. But all I really need is some company to motivate me to get up and go out, and so it was that we…

I was going to do a short walk, just long enough to see if my new insoles fixed the Haglöfs-boot chafing problem. I took Hateful Hill* #2 up to Kappruskaftet and I was just going to walk around for a while, and get my 365. It was cloudy so it wasn’t really any good for…

I painted two out of the remaining three windows before a late lunch, and then drove to Djupdalsvallen to finish off my vacation with a waffle. I’m a little bit shocked but I think I’m getting over waffles… or at least the whipped cream on top. The coffee was good though, as usual. My knee…

A friend is visiting, we have big plans for the week – a roadtrip in Norway and a hike to Helags. But with the weather forecast as it was, we had to give up one of them so we opted to do the roadtrip and leave Helags for another time. Which was just as well,…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…

This is finally it! I’m going to conquer Blåstöten and as a bonus, tick off the Storröstgraven ravine from my list. The day was beautiful and warm, but there was some dust in the air which made the sky a bit bland and also the distant mountains where just colourless shapes, nothing I wanted to…
