In March, it seemed like spring is coming ahead of time. Things pretty much grinded to a halt in the past week with cold temperatures and even a little bit of new snow, which gave me hope that there would still be some skiing to be done in the mountains. I was going to go…

Another exciting thing about moving is that you have a whole new region to explore. I’m familiar with Föne only as far as driving through a few times but I’ve never stopped to take a closer look at anything. The first thing I did was to study the map and I found an interesting looking…

It seems like lately I’ve been in a lens frenzy. In the past, I’ve normally bought (changed) one lens per year on average. Last year I got two and now I have yet another new lens. The thing is, since I got into wideangle photography, the Canon 24-105mm lens that’s been my normal walkaround lens…

I’m starting to get my new home in order, so I can think about other things. Like photography, of course! Since spring has arrived early this year, we drove around a little bit to find some birds that you normally can find in the fields while they wait for their nesting grounds to melt. But…

So I’m now officially a ”fönebo” – spent my first night in my new home! I have a good feeling about this, somehow it feels like this new home is a little bit luxurious compared to the old one, even if some things here are clearly too old and in need of replacing or fixing.…

But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…

At school, we used to have a week’s holiday every winter. Translated from Finnish, a ”skiing holiday”. I stopped using it for skiing somewhere around my teens, but now it was finally time to resurrect that noble tradition. So I have a week’s holiday and will spend it at the cabin and go skiing every…

Lovely late winter’s day. I spent it all inside, going through my stuff to find out what I could throw away. I found that I had boxes and boxes and boxes of… boxes. Can’t believe how many empty cardboard boxes I’ve kept over the years! When I was done with my sorting, I had my…

Photographing a moon crescent is to be much harder than photographing a full moon. There was an ever so thin crescent yesterday that I kept admiring from the bus window, only to see it disappear behind the clouds by the time we were in Loos. The crescent is still nice today and I admired it…
