There’s one area in Ljusdal which has been hotly contended as long as I have lived here. There used to be a sawmill next to the lake but they have now demolished it and the big question they have debated for years is, what to do with this area. Everything from swimming halls to shopping…

With all the great experiences in the past three days and a blister in my foot, I didn’t want to even try to do any more shooting. There was no way I was going to top anything I had done so far so after a lazy morning I sat in my car and drove home.…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

It got cloudy yesterday afternoon and it was still cloudy in the morning, so we didn’t have to do another early morning. Which was just as well, because our plan was to hike to Helags today so it was good to have a good night’s sleep in reserve. We left after lunch and there were…

It’s still warm and sunny, I went cycling. Shorts were ok but I quickly found I needed a long sleeved shirt to protect my torso from the draft when the speed goes up, that’s the difference between summer warm and autumn warm. Anyway, I took myself to Knutnäsudden although I knew that the water level…

A few days into September, a few days into autumn. The trees are starting to look the part, but it’s very warm. T-shirt warm. You can only feel the autumn when you see the mist in the morning, after a cold night.

So here’s how much of my 365 pictures happen. I found a little blue dot on the map, was surprised to see it because I’ve looked at the map of Föne about a million times and I’ve never seen this blue dot before. So of course I had to go there and check it out.…
