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…

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…

After painting the second coat of primer (picture in tomorrow’s post), the door looked a bit better. It doesn’t hold up for closer scrutiny but I’m confident it will look great after two coats of white paint. Since my knee felt ok after yesterday’s small hike, I wanted to do longer hike today. I didn’t…

I needed a railing on the short side of the porch so the first task of the day was to do some precision sawing to get my 2×4 exactly the correct length to fit between the column and the wall. I erred on the safe side and my plank was one millimetre too long. Too little…

This is the extended weekend I was supposed to do a 4-day hike but which I had to cancel because I just didn’t know if my knee would hold or not. So then it was going to be a 4-day weekend at the cabin, giving me a chance to test the knee on day hikes.…

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…
