Well that was it, the last skiing of the season. Sure I still have tomorrow here at the cabin, but after four days of skiing I’m done. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not exactly super trained and I think I was more tired after today’s 15km trip than I was after Thursday’s 15km trip. But it was good…

Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

Plan A was to go to Orsa but it’s too sunny for that. Never too sunny at Järvzoo though so that’s where I found myself. Initially everything was really quiet, I just walked through the whole park without taking a single picture. The most exciting thing that happened was all the water that was dropping…

It’s still only March, but spring was progressing at a very good speed. My crocuses are starting to grow, there’s been some migratory birds around for a few weeks already, actually, and snow is rapidly disappearing. But today the whole thing was on full reverse and it was snowing all day even if the temperature…

We witnessed something very rare today, a partial solar eclipse. At first it looked like the clouds would spoil the show, but the cover wasn’t very thick and the sun was visible as a bright disc, and during the eclipse, a bright crescent. It didn’t get very dark during the eclipse and I didn’t get that…

In case you managed to miss it, here are some pictures from the best light show of the decade! Or accurately, ”the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle” as SpaceWeather.com expressed it. But nevermind what you call it, it was s p e c t a c u l a r ! It didn’t…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…
