Maybe my luck with the auroras has changed. Last winter I seemed to miss them all the time, for different reasons, but last night I feel like I hit the jackpot! It was a stunning display and I had a great a location, there was new ice covering the lake, not a cloud in sight…

Today was my last chance (or have I overused ”last chance” by now?) to check off items from my to-do list for the snow-free season. Cycling to Backvallen was on the list and now I’ve done it. It’s a nice road, in surprisingly good condition considering that there’s very little traffic so there’s probably not much road…

I’ve been waiting for a chance to shoot at Tevån, and today was perfect. Overcast and no wind, and the calm weather helped me a lot because I forgot to pack the step-up ring so I could use a 77mm 3-stop ND on the wideangle lens, which meant that I was stuck using the 10-stop ND instead.…

All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…

Maybe I was a bit too negative yesterday. The season wasn’t completely at an end – the raining stopped at lunchtime and I was out again. It was very windy though so I preferred to stay below the tree line, with just an occasional visit above to check out the grand landscape. I also chose…

As the rain is pouring outside my window, it’s time to face the fact – my hiking season has come to an end. Prematurely and with a fizzle (drizzle), not a bang. Feels like it’s been the same story the whole summer, every time I’m not on call, the weather is iffy. At times so…

Somehow autumn has gotten far along without me noticing it. The peak colours will be next week which is right on schedule, that’s the week I normally have vacation. Except not this year. Which I regret. Almost. Instead of enjoying autumn here at home, I’m going to Iceland in two weeks so I have to…

I have previously mentioned that every time I try to shoot a nice sunset, the sunset isn’t nice. To prove my point, I tried to shoot the sunset this evening. It wasn’t nice. The evening however, it was very nice. Måns-Erstjärnen is probably my #1 favourite location during calm weather and I’ve had some magical moments…

It’s been years since I last visited Rändåfallet and I’ve been thinking about doing it again… well, for years. A few days ago I was looking at my old Rändåfallet pictures and realised that I don’t actually have anything good from there, even if I’m sure I used to think otherwise. So now that I…

I went hiking for a change. The goal was to do two peaks today, Rutstöten (1098m) and Gråhöjden (1192m). They are in the same direction and so close together that it would be wasteful to only do one of the peaks at a time. And in fact, had I not already done Volldalshöjden, it would…
