  • 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…

  • Today’s hike is one of the ”guldtur” hikes in Funäsfjällen. The description says it’s 19 km and I’m not sure how long it will take me – it all depends on how many photo opportunities there are on the way! Just to make sure I could take it as slow as needed, I drove to…

  • My long awaited holiday is here! I’ve really been looking forward to a week in the mountains because this year we actually have some colours, unlike the massive disappointment that was 2011. The only threat I can I see is the wind because the weather forecast says that it’s going to be rather windy all…

  • Since I have a long drive back home, the plan was to do a trip in the morning, have lunch and then drive off and check out a spot along the way. So I took my bike to the Mittån delta in the Messlingen lake and it was just as remembered – difficult to access…

  • Somehow I totally managed to mess up my holiday planning for the summer so that I didn’t have any chance to drive to the cabin just for the weekend, until now. It’s a 3.5 hr drive so it’s not a good idea to drive in on Saturday morning and back on Sunday evening, there would…

  • Last night when I checked the weather forecast, it said it would be part sunny with chance of showers. So I woke up with high expectations, was met with grey skies and during breakfast, rain. Ok then, showers started earlier than I anticipated. I packed my gear and drove to Rockvallen, knowing that it would…

  • I slept for 10 hours. 10 hours! The last time it happened I was jet-lagged after 32 hours without sleep, coming back from Canada. I should’ve learned from my vacation in March. I can’t push myself physically every day, I just don’t have the condition for it and at some point my body will call…
