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…

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…

With all the great experiences in the past three days and a blister in my foot, I didn’t want to even try to do any more shooting. There was no way I was going to top anything I had done so far so after a lazy morning I sat in my car and drove home.…

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…
