Had a friend for a visit for a couple of days, nice with company! As always when I have visitors who are not familiar with Funäsfjällen, the first place I take them is Djupdalsvallen. The idea was to go up Stor-Mittåkläppen so the waffles would be well deserved, but the weather had other ideas –…

I found some mountain avens growing by the road in Ljusnedal. That’s not the right place for shooting them though, you have to go to the tundra instead! Which is what I did, I drove to Hamrafjället and walked through the flower meadows (which didn’t have any flowers yet) and up to the pass between…

I’m trying to take different routes every time I do my evening walk. Yesterday I went to the gravel pit, more with the intention of finding the shortcut to the waterfalls than anything else, but I got so much more – a real hotspot of flowers, and some of them quite exciting. Not all of these flowers…

The season changed while I was gone – when I got home last night, I found that summer has come to the mountains as well! Now the trees are green and it’s nice and warm. And if I needed any more proof about the season, then I ate it today – I walked up to…

While everyone else was busy dancing around maypoles, I used my day on the first ”real” hike of the summer. And indeed, it felt like summer, despite the snow and the little bit of ice I found on the tarn which was target for the day. The tarn is between the peaks of Lill-Skarven and…

The landscape photography equivalent to ”value for money” must be the ratio between the effort and result. How much effort is required to reach your photo spot, and how good are the opportunities there? Livsäterån must be place with the best such ratio in Funäsfjällen because it’s easy to reach and the photo ops are…

What a treat! Got see a pair of cranes with a pair of hatchlings! I found the cranes yesterday when I was cycling, one of the cranes was incubating. I figured that it must be very close to hatching time by now so it was necessary to go back there today, with the big lens, and…

I have finally fulfilled a long time dream to move to the mountains! A week ago I landed in Ljusnedal and I’m still trying to get used to the idea that now I live here. For 15 years, I’ve been coming here for vacations and weekends and always tried to cram as much hiking and…

In the winter I was planning to take on a project to visit all zoos in Sweden. That was before I decided to move, I will have other things to do now than drive around the country. But I was still interested in the number one zoo on my list, Nordens Ark. It’s very far from…

A last visit to the zoo, I just had to see the bear cubs. They were released to the public enclosure today and it turned out to be a very popular event, the parking lot was full! Oh my gosh how cute the cubs are. Still a bit unsteady on their feet, and absolutely adorable!
