Got a ping in my phone last night about possible aurora, so I went out. I didn’t see anything happening but there was quite a lot of green, so it could flare up. Found a spot close to home and got really lucky that the little activity there was, happened in the right place –…
We did get winter today! It was touch and go with the temperature just around the zero mark.
It’s going to snow tomorrow. A lot. Unless it rains, of course. But I’m hoping for snow, which means that it’s winter for sure and that makes today the last chance to get any hiking done. So I went hiking. As to where I would do the hiking, it was an easy decision. Ånnfjället is…
You know how I love shooting the full moon rising (or setting) over the landscape. I rarely succeed, but I often try! It’s full moon tomorrow but the best chance of shooting it was today – moonrise was just after sunset so I might just be able to catch the moon before the sky got…
With the lack of anything better to do, I had a look back at the pictures from the hiking season. It was really one of the best summers ever, even though it got off to a bad start. First I had to wait for my knee to recover from the injury I sustained during the…
It’s still overcast, but the clouds are not quite as low as yesterday. There’s very little definition in the clouds, everything just looks… soft. In the summer when it’s high pressure, we have the puffy cumulus clouds against a blue sky. In the winter with high pressure, we have a soft grey sky. So, better…
It was an overcast day with clouds hanging below 1000m, so I decided to do a geocaching trip instead of hiking. There’s quite a few caches on the Ljungdalen side that I haven’t logged yet, plus that I wanted to check out the Djävulshålet (Devil’s Hole) canyon near Tossåsen. Amazingly, I managed to find all…
The weather is turning colder and it was snowing last week. Here in Ljusnedal, it was a wet snow which didn’t settle on the ground, but as soon as you got a bit higher, it was proper snowfall. When the clouds finally cleared, I was looking at Ånnfjället which was completely covered in the white…
I’m pretty good at not losing things. What I mean is that if I lose something, I find it again. Sometimes quickly, sometimes after a long while, but those lost things have a habit of coming back to me. Most of the time, anyway. A couple of weeks ago I lost the remote for my…
I drove to Ljungdalen in search of autumn colours. And found them – it looks like Flatruet is forming a barrier for the moths. North from Flatruet, it looked stunning. South, not so. Well, maybe I should say, it would have looked stunning if had been possible to see more than 50m. The clouds were…
