In the morning I was so tired I didn’t even want to go out. But sometimes all you need is to open the door and once you’re outside, the energy is restored and you’re ready for a new challenge. And that’s what happened today. I wrote about Tevån on Monday, about how I need to…

It rained a lot on Thursday and suddenly the water level in Ljusnan is as high as it was in June. The waterfall at Kvarnströmmen has not even existed in the past weeks, and now it’s roaring loud. All this water means that my great idea to do waterfall shooting goes out the window, there’s just…

Tevån is a puzzle to me. No matter how many times I visit it, I just can’t figure it out. There I am, walking from fall to fall, pointing my camera this way and that… and nothing works. I’m sure that someone with a different eye for composition can make some great pictures here. Just…

I told you I would do waterfalls this month! I have two waterfall spots within walking distance from home. The best one is Tevån which I will visit next week (I’m just waiting for the colours to change first), but then there’s another creek that I’m fairly sure that not many people visit, at least…

I had some relatives visit me last weekend. The visit was great, but they brought me an unwanted gift – the flu. I haven’t had a cold in over five (5!) years and whether it’s thanks to my wonderful immune system or carefully avoiding any bugs I can’t say, but now that it was put…

The HDR tool in Lightroom does a pretty decent job. I was working on a new idea on Monday, it didn’t quite work out as planned because the clouds wouldn’t co-operate but then I thought, fine, if Mother Nature gives me clouds, then I shoot clouds. Bracketed 5 shots with 1 stop intervals, ran it…

Another visit to my new favourite place, it has been raining today but there was a chance of sunny spells in the evening so it was worth a try. Even if the light didn’t work, there’s plenty of cloudberries to pick. I don’t particularly like them, but there’s so much of them this year that…

There’s this lake, Bolagen, north-east from Storvigeln. I’ve never figured out why it’s called like that, as the only meaning that I know for bolagen is the plural of bolag = company (as in corporation). But, a rose by any other name… So I went there this morning to see what the lake is like…

One of my big plans is to hike to Skarsfjället, camp by the lake in the ”bowl” and then conquer the peak (or two). It would be the furthest hike I’ve ever done outside any trails and although this should not be a concern, I make it such. Too many unknowns at once, I feel…

I can see Ånnfjället and Gråstöten from my flat. It’s not only very cool (Ånnfjället is one of my favourite mountains!) but it’s also been interesting to see how long time it takes for the snow to melt. When I moved here, they were covered in snow, just a few black patches. Then it snowed…
