It could be that I just have a strange definition of cool, but I think it’s cool that I can stand on my porch and look at Orion and Sirius! Early in the winter, Sirius wouldn’t be visible until around midnight but now at this time of the year they are so high up in the…

It would’ve been the best aurora I have ever seen. I knew that the aurora would put on a good display tonight, but I also knew that the weather forecast said that it would get cloudy. So I waited nervously until it got dark enough and started shooting, there was no doubt that something was…

For the past three evenings I’ve been trying to get my sights on the comet Pan-STARRS without any success. The first evening I was probably looking a little bit in the wrong place, the second evening I was probably out too late and yesterday when my timing and place where right, I couldn’t see it…

On a personal note, I went to see a physical therapist yesterday. Maybe I haven’t complained about my right hip so much in this blog, but I’ve had a problem with it just about all my adult life. It starts hurting when I do long walks, and when it gets really bad my knees and…

I haven’t done any skiing in many weeks, since I came to the conclusion that there’s no good skiing to be done in Föne. But that’s just the photographer in me speaking, because I’m not tired of skiing in itself. So in order to get back to skis, I drove to Kajevall yesterday. They have…

Two weeks ago I wondered when the sun would reach enough high in the sky to reach over the Vallåsen mountain and shine on my house. I walked up to the top of the mountain today again and when I came home around lunchtime, there it was… the sun shining right on my balcony! I…

Well, having said that local walks don’t inspire me, curiosity took over today. I wanted to see what’s happened with the flood around the creek and down in Mon (although I had no intentions to actually walk into the area where I had my accident with the ice!). When I got to the creek it…
