I was dead tired today. I cycled almost 50 km yesterday, it’s nothing in Tour de France terms but for someone not trained in endurance sports (well, any sports), there’s a price to pay. And the price is having zero energy the next day. If you add the hot weather, wind, and sunlight filtered through…

Columbines are my favourite flowers, right after orchids and white waterlilies!

Found this monstrous thistle today, it’s growing completely out of control with a stem that’s thick as a small tree, although when you go around it 90 degrees, you’ll find that the stem is a little bit flat and even looks a bit like rhubarb the way it curves. And on top, there are so…

Third evening in a row at the waterlily spot! Last year I completely missed the waterlily season but it’s looking really good now. I saw a lot of buds, many of them right next to the jetty so it will be possible to shoot with a macro. It’s a luxury – normally you have to shoot…

Went to the waterlily spot again but I was a bit late – a storm front was approaching. It’s a bit unnerving to stand on a jetty, with thunder and lightning going on just beyond the lake. So admittedly, I was maybe not as concentrated on the job at hand as I should have been…

So my family is back in Finland and I have the house all to myself again. In my introspective ways, it can be a really difficult situation to constantly have people around me and not be able to have a moment alone to calm down my nerves. It’s a constant sensory overload, I just can’t…

Would you believe, it’s still cold and raining. We visited Svedbovallen in Harsa, I love that place, just a pity that nobody wanted to stay for longer in this weather so I didn’t get a chance to shoot anything really. I just have to say this – if you’ve never tasted Swedish ”ostkaka” (I would…

On the way to the cabin, we stopped at Särvfjället for a small hike. I sent my sis and niece to the nearest peak while dad and I walked in the valley. The weather is cold and wet, so this is not ideal but nothing to do about it.
