Just saw the news. They got 1m of snow in Hudiksvall today. Hudiksvall is on the coast, just over 100km east from Los. When I lived in Ljusdal, it was my closest ”big” town (they have Åhlens). But really… 1 metre of snow?! What did we get here… all of 1cm? Well ok a bit…

Last day of the long weekend. I was out before sunrise, walked up Furuberget again. That’s 3.5 times in 3 days… other people normally take the lift up… Anyway, I observed that the snow has melted away from the trees on the high hills, for example the tall pines on the Eagle Mountain are now…

We are a having a great winter weekend here (long weekend – we had Friday off as well). A good amount of snow, frosty trees and 10-15 degrees below freezing. Perfect! I’ve been spending most of the daylight outdoors, sometimes shooting, sometimes skiing, sometimes just walking around and enjoying the conditions. Today I went out…

I went out right after sunrise. This the first time since the new snow that I got to see the scenery in daylight and I must say that I love it to bits. This is what I have been waiting for! I wouldn’t mind having a lot more snow, but this will do just fine…

This was the last cold day before a warm front would hit us, so I made sure I got some winter pictures in before the snow would be gone (again). I drove to Hamra National Park, it’s only 30 km from Los and it’s also the smallest national park in Sweden. The long trail around…

One thing that often comes to mind when viewing beginners’ landscape photographs is that they chose the wrong time to take the picture. It takes a while to learn what difference light makes and depending on the subject, there is a number of other factors playing in. Say for example, if you want to show…

It has been snowing all day. Disappointingly, it has been very light snowfall so we probably don’t have more than 1 cm new snow. But since the old snow didn’t all melt away during the warmer days, the snow cover is nice enough. I went for a long walk to enjoy the scenery and ended…

Just watched the weather forecast (which seems to be my favourite program these days). I was a bit amused when the meteorologist sounded apologetic when he predicted overcast skies for the coming days. We should also get a bit more snow, which is great, considering that right now it’s above zero and the snow is…

So it did arrive today – winter. We got loadsa snow and it was tricky driving to work; I did 50-60 kph and it felt fast. By the time I got to Ljusdal, the snowfall had turned into sleet and there wasn’t much snow on the ground. So I’m definitely better off in Los! The…

Went for a walk in the forest yesterday. There are trails all over the place in Los but hardly any of them marked on the Green Map (1:50000) so I’m mostly just walking around and learning to know them. They come in all sizes – from wide trails cleared for snow mobiles to small paths…
