I said yesterday that I wasn’t even feeling thirsty during my trip, but it was apparently just wishful thinking. I got a headache in the evening which only got worse during the night, and it’s the kind of a headache that comes from dehydration and that painkillers don’t cure. So I had a restless night,…

What a contrast it is to the trip in March. Back then it was cold, windy and overcast and now it’s just sunshine from a cloudless sky, hardly any wind to speak of and therefore quite warm, even if the thermometer insisted that it was just a couple of degrees above freezing. By the time…

Easter is a bit late this year, but there’s plenty of snow left in the mountains and the weather forecast is looking good. It didn’t start off too well though, it was overcast and a bit windy so I didn’t have any ambitions to reach the tundra today and settled with following one of the…

…that I have yet another lens. In my defence, in the middle of this severe case of gear acquisition syndrome, I had the wideangle zoom planned already last summer so this not a whim. Since I went full frame, I haven’t had an extreme wideangle that takes filters. So it was never a question of…

On Saturday I referred to a possible front-focus issue with the Tamron SP 150-600/5-6.3 Di VC USD megazoom on my Canon 6D. I did some testing and found out that the focus problem is consistent when using the small focus points, whereas the central point is spot on. I even compared the results to the…

My idea for today’s picture was to show that Fönesjön is now free of ice. I take a note of it every year, and during these three springs I’ve lived in Föne, this is obviously the earliest the ice has disappeared. I parked my car at the bus stop which provides a view over the…

Today on my walk I ended up in the same pine forest that charmed me a few weeks back. Open pine forests have always been my favourite type of forest, and now I finally realised why. A forest like this is obviously man-made so I’m not entirely pleased with myself that I should prefer this…

I woke up at around 3am to go to the bathroom. As I walked through the kitchen, I looked out the window as I always do and saw aurora that were as high up in the sky as I’ve ever seen. Suddenly I didn’t feel sleepy at all, so I put on some warm clothes…

It’s been a sunny day and it’s the beginning of a flower explosion in the garden. Lots of crocuses starting to bloom, some snow drops which have managed to fight their way through the grass and then I’m just waiting for the other flowers, I think I planted two other sorts in the autumn so…

The tiny snowdrops struggle to raise themselves above the dry grass. I think this year I should make sure that the grass is properly mowed before winter so the small flowers get a chance!
