Innan jag började med VandraFotaLeva.Nu, skrev jag en engelsk blogg (The Quiet Picture) på minnak.net. Jag började redan i 2005 när bloggandet hade slagit in på allvar, och jag hade höga ambitioner. I mening att jag liksom trodde att när man skriver en blogg, måste man hela tiden ge matnyttig information till läsarna. Jag lärde…

I never wear shorts when I’m hiking, no matter how hot the day is. I always have long trousers to minimise the amount of skin on offer for the mosquitoes and other blood suckers. But guess what. For the past week, I’ve been wearing shorts when hiking. No mosquitoes yet! Until today. Got my first…

After the brief scouting trip to Ånnfjällstjärnen earlier this week, it was time to go all the way to the top. Just four days ago the road to Övre Lillåsvallen was partly covered in snow but now it’s all gone. And the trail through the forest, it was more like a brook than a trail…

It’s not officially summer yet, but it could well be. It’s insanely warm. As in, do the reindeer thing and try to find all the snow patches to get some relief from the heat. I did a little after work hiking and got up to the Ånnfjället tarn and found that the ice is just…

It’s been raining all day. The water level which was high enough as it was because of the melting snow, is now at levels which happen on average every 50 years. Here in Ljusnedal I think we are spared from any damages to houses (there’s a couple of houses upstream though, close to the river,…

From the viewpoint on Hamrafjället yesterday, I saw that there wasn’t much snow left along the trail towards Andersborg. So I should be able to get through, and once on the mountain, it would be easy. So that’s what I did today. But I didn’t get very far before the trail was covered in snow,…

There aren’t many mountains where you can hike as yet. The top of the mountain could be ok, but the problem is how to get to the foot of the mountain. Hamrafjället melts early and you can park your car at the foot of it, so I decided to check it out. And it was…

If it was a long drive to get to Skåne, then it will be an equally long drive to get back home. Plus that I have six high points to pick on the way. So in the morning we drove out in two cars, mine was packed and ready to go north. We stopped at…

I tried to cram as much stuff in this visit as possible. Pick some high points and extreme points, visit a national park or three, check out some famous sights and get the camera sensor cleaned. Yep. The A7 sensor is covered in dust bunnies and there’s one big one almost in the middle and…

The morning was very sunny, which is of course nice for a vacation. It’s harder for photography though, but then we found a bunch small pasque flowers and things improved immediately. Initially we only got to this spot because my friend wanted to show me the ”most photographed tree in Sweden”. I had never seen…
