Gotta love these Easter breaks. 5 days off, it’s a mini-vacation! The only place to be during Easter is the mountains, so I drove to the cabin already on Wednesday evening. I’m glad I have the fireplace now… even though my neighbour had turned up the heat, it was still a bit chilly in the…
I think I achieved some kind of personal record of doing nothing. I had decided to do an afternoon hike so I had all morning to do… nothing. The only meaningful (if you can call it that) thing I did was to write the previous blog post. Well, I did say that this was a…
Welcome to the 21st century – I now have Internet in the cabin! I got myself a modem from Net1 and it turns out that the signal is really good. I have a pay-by-day subscription so I only pay for the days I use the net, perfect for the occasional visits to the cabin. One…
Unusually, I’m waiting until Tuesday to write about something that happened last weekend… Although there’s almost no point in going to the cabin on Saturday and coming back on Sunday, I did it anyway. I had a few small things I had to take care of and even I didn’t have the luxury of time,…
It’s officially the last day of the season – Djupdalsvallen closes today. It’s my favourite waffle place so naturally I had to have a waffle there and celebrate (or commiserate) the last day of my holiday; I will leave in the morning tomorrow so there will be no more hiking then. When I got to…
I had no idea what to do today. There is one subject matter I have not touched all week and that’s waterfalls and I did kind of think of shooting at a brook nearby, but the day was too sunny for that (can’t complain though). So I spent the morning taking care of some odds…
After a couple of rainy and snowy days, the weather is turning. Today will be sunny so I drove to Måns-Erstjärnen, which is one of my favourite places. But I’ve never walked all the way around it and today was the day to do it. Twice, as it turned out. Anyway, when I arrived at…
While I’ve been on holiday, Canon released a new SLR and it’s the fullframe 6D as rumoured. So that’s it then – it’s my new camera! Just as well that I didn’t get the Tokina 16-28mm and Canon 24-105mm lenses sold, because now I will need them. Those investments I made in the Tokina 11-16mm…
The weather forecast said that it would be raining today but not very much so I decided to hike locally and took off to the Svartmorgraven ravine. When I got up on Flatruet, I found that the clouds were very low and the visibility was in fact quite poor. For a moment I was wondering…
The morning was rainy so I took it easy (lazy) at the cabin. The weather forecast said that it would clear up in the afternoon and sure enough it did, so I took off to Kappruskaftet. It’s fast becoming a favourite place for me and I was looking forward to exploring it in the evening…
