Since the beautiful winter weather keeps, I thought it was time for a serious walk. So I took the shortest way to the camping area by the lake and crossed the lake and a narrow strip of forest to get to the big bog. On my way I noticed that they had just laid new…

Just saw the news. They got 1m of snow in Hudiksvall today. Hudiksvall is on the coast, just over 100km east from Los. When I lived in Ljusdal, it was my closest ”big” town (they have Åhlens). But really… 1 metre of snow?! What did we get here… all of 1cm? Well ok a bit…

Last day of the long weekend. I was out before sunrise, walked up Furuberget again. That’s 3.5 times in 3 days… other people normally take the lift up… Anyway, I observed that the snow has melted away from the trees on the high hills, for example the tall pines on the Eagle Mountain are now…

We are a having a great winter weekend here (long weekend – we had Friday off as well). A good amount of snow, frosty trees and 10-15 degrees below freezing. Perfect! I’ve been spending most of the daylight outdoors, sometimes shooting, sometimes skiing, sometimes just walking around and enjoying the conditions. Today I went out…

I went out right after sunrise. This the first time since the new snow that I got to see the scenery in daylight and I must say that I love it to bits. This is what I have been waiting for! I wouldn’t mind having a lot more snow, but this will do just fine…

It has been snowing all day. Disappointingly, it has been very light snowfall so we probably don’t have more than 1 cm new snow. But since the old snow didn’t all melt away during the warmer days, the snow cover is nice enough. I went for a long walk to enjoy the scenery and ended…

Just watched the weather forecast (which seems to be my favourite program these days). I was a bit amused when the meteorologist sounded apologetic when he predicted overcast skies for the coming days. We should also get a bit more snow, which is great, considering that right now it’s above zero and the snow is…

So it did arrive today – winter. We got loadsa snow and it was tricky driving to work; I did 50-60 kph and it felt fast. By the time I got to Ljusdal, the snowfall had turned into sleet and there wasn’t much snow on the ground. So I’m definitely better off in Los! The…

Went for a walk in the forest yesterday. There are trails all over the place in Los but hardly any of them marked on the Green Map (1:50000) so I’m mostly just walking around and learning to know them. They come in all sizes – from wide trails cleared for snow mobiles to small paths…

My dad loves trees. He has some forest back in Finland and every once in a while he takes me for a tour to look at some special pines growing on the cliffs, defying gravity, or some old gnarled pines growing in fascinating twists and loops. He has pacified these trees – when the times…
