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…

Never mind Christmas. Winter is all that counts!I woke up early this morning. There was a big chance of snowfall in the night and I knew right away that it had happened – the light that came trough the curtains was too bright to be anything else than snow. The feeling that the first snow…

There are a few spots along the road to work that I’ve been thinking about photographing some day. The problem is, when they are so readily available, you just keep putting it off. So day after day, I drive past and think that I should photograph that… Amazingly, today was the day. I stopped and…

It was a rare event – a semi-sunny morning. I walked up the Funäsdalsfjället mountain with the aim of taking some panorama images. The peak of the mountain was advertised as the best view in the Swedish mountains and I suspected some hype there, but it turned out to be grand indeed – a 360…

Another week, another mountain range. I drove to Mittåkläppen, parked the car about 1 km past Djupdalsvallen and started walking. After I noticed that the road continued in fine conditions, I was a bit bummed with myself for not driving further. I had never been there before so I didn’t know how it would look…
