While everyone else was busy dancing around maypoles, I used my day on the first ”real” hike of the summer. And indeed, it felt like summer, despite the snow and the little bit of ice I found on the tarn which was target for the day. The tarn is between the peaks of Lill-Skarven and…

The landscape photography equivalent to ”value for money” must be the ratio between the effort and result. How much effort is required to reach your photo spot, and how good are the opportunities there? Livsäterån must be place with the best such ratio in Funäsfjällen because it’s easy to reach and the photo ops are…

What a treat! Got see a pair of cranes with a pair of hatchlings! I found the cranes yesterday when I was cycling, one of the cranes was incubating. I figured that it must be very close to hatching time by now so it was necessary to go back there today, with the big lens, and…

I have finally fulfilled a long time dream to move to the mountains! A week ago I landed in Ljusnedal and I’m still trying to get used to the idea that now I live here. For 15 years, I’ve been coming here for vacations and weekends and always tried to cram as much hiking and…

Well that was it, the last skiing of the season. Sure I still have tomorrow here at the cabin, but after four days of skiing I’m done. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not exactly super trained and I think I was more tired after today’s 15km trip than I was after Thursday’s 15km trip. But it was good…

Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

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…
