September was odd in that it was … well, very September-ish. Lately it seems like the months have been unlike themselves but now we got the kind of temperatures you’d expect, maybe not as much as rain as would be normal but some anyway, and most of all, we got glorious autumn colours. I wasn’t…

Sometimes there is particular irony that photography is called ”shooting”. So I drove to my favourite creek again. No rain, but very slippery rocks. As I was making my way through the bushes, I suddenly heard a gunshot. Very close by! I stopped to have a look around, but I was fairly well hidden among…

I have been looking forward to this weekend ever since the first weather forecasts had started coming in earlier in the week. The forecast said rain – and I couldn’t have been happier! I might have gotten a bit fed up with shooting water all winter last year, but time heals all wounds and now…

I couldn’t wait anymore and ordered my Canon 40D, which arrived even earlier than I expected! I haven’t gone all trigger happy and tested it just for the sake of testing, rather I’m just taking the pictures I would anyway. I will leave the reviewing and pixel peeping to others (and there are plenty of…

Just another average quiet Saturday in Loos. Found a toad sunning itself on the trail. At first I thought it was dead, but then I saw the throat pulsing ever so little. I don’t know if it was cold and was trying to warm itself, or if the sun caught it in mid-stride and it…

I owe an apology to SMHI. Lately I have been laughing at their forecasts but today they got it right, as unlikely as it seemed in the morning. At 1pm today, it was 5°C and snowing (see the forecast in my previous post). Wow! So that was the first snowfall of the season. Can I…

I had planned another mountain hike for yesterday, this time just a day hike in Idre. The weather forecast kept warning about storm force winds though, so I decided that it’s best to stay at home. The wind was bad enough here as well, as my tripod so painfully discovered – it crashed down on…

I love planning but only a fraction of anything I plan ever becomes a reality. This weekend was one of those rare occasions of action, but even now the plan would never have left the drawing board had I not had a friend to come along. We were determined that even the bad weather wasn’t…

This is a story of ”I wouldn’t normally do that kind of thing”: Since my holiday, I haven’t been the least bit interested in taking any new pictures. In fact, I had almost settled on skipping August entirely and just wait for September, which is one of my favourite months. But on the bus home,…

I was on holiday for the most of July, so I don’t have much data to go on, just one week. But here goes (almost) nothing: * * * Temperature (High): 21°C Temperature (Low): 12°C Temperature (Average): 17°C Barometer (High): 1008 mbar Barometer (Low): 998 mbar Barometer (Avg): 1003 mbar Total of sunny days: 0…
