It was another clear night so I headed back to the same night photography spot as on Saturday. There were no clouds, except towards the end of my session when a thin strip showed up in the north, not enough to be bothersome but it did catch the light pollution. And speaking of that, it…

I just wanted to say it again. I do hate the wind. I somehow got away with last week’s adventure without catching a cold, but I did seem to get an over-sensitivity to wind because it totally gets to me. As soon as I feel the slightest breeze on my skin, I start freezing. So…

I’m feeling really lazy. I mean, really really lazy. I just want to sit in the recliner and drink coffee and eat things that will make me fat. So I’ve been doing things on the computer and put together my first slideshow in Lightroom and published it on Youtube. The soundtrack is the wind in…

Last night was clear, so I drove to Skalsjön to shoot some starry sky pictures. I’m trying to find a good spot for night sky photography and on the map it looked like Skalsjön would offer good views towards south-west where I find my beloved Orion. It turned out that the view was indeed good,…

I did another attempt at night sky photography but there were some clouds that ruined the show. It didn’t really stop me shooting though, because there was a way to use the clouds to my advantage. No aurora, but the clouds kind of create the same effect! The bright light is from Föne. The spot…

It appears that the weather hasn’t been so nice in the lowlands either. There was a lot of snow when I got home, but now the temperatures are up again and the snow is disappearing fast. It helps that it’s been windy… now that’s a familiar tune… But now that I had a vacation day…

My heart sank when I got up. The wind was really bad, even worse than yesterday. I couldn’t breath into the wind and the wind meter at the station indicated median winds of 13-17 m/s. That’s no joke! We really didn’t feel like repeating yesterday’s experience, even if this time it would be a shorter…

We had been looking at the weather forecast with some concerns because it looked like it wouldn’t get nice at all this week. Our original plan was to ski from Gåsen to Sylarna and then back to Helags, but with the atrocious weather, there was no point in going to Sylarna. For one thing, there…

Finally it’s here! The Expedition. The weather forecast wasn’t exactly cheerful, but no disaster either. We drove to Ljungdalen in the morning, had a pizza for lunch and then set on the skis. If you follow the summer trail (which you can do in the winter, I mean it’s snow everywhere) from Kläppen, half of…

I’ve been saving these flower shoots for a desperate day when I don’t have any other ideas. I think they’re snowdrops. Or crocuses. Or something else. 365 is going on a break now, I will keep shooting of course but I won’t be able to post anything in a while. So expect a ketchup effect…
