I posted a collection of my Photo of the Month pictures last year, so I thought I could look back on 2010 as well. This was a bit of a low-key year for me, there was a lot of personal stuff going on that left me uninspired many times. But I did get in some…

I’m not a Christmas person by any definition, but I know it’s important for my parents so I have a tradition of going to Finland every other Christmas. Since my parents live in a middle of a busy town, I knew beforehand that this would be no photography trip and thus travelled light with only…

It feels like the winter season is officially open when I do my first trip to the Moose Lake. The snow mobile trails are not prepared yet but there’s always some people who venture out as soon as the ice is thick enough to carry a snow mobile over the lakes, so I had some…

A couple of years ago I wrote a lot about skiing, or rather, the problems I had with it. Those pesky ski boots just kept chafing and gave me blisters for every trip I made and I finally decided that I had had enough of the pain and gave up. But the thing is that…

It was finally a sunny day, and what happens? I’m sick. Three of my colleagues were in different stages of having a cold this week and it was apparently impossible to dodge the bullet so now I’m just hoping that I don’t get any worse than I am right now. Last night was bad enough.…

The snow cover isn’t very thick yet, but it varies from place to place even within a small area – altitude plays a big role. When you drive north from Loos, you get to over 500m above sea level and in winter it shows quite clearly. Already now there’s more snow and we also found…

We got some snow this week and the landscape looks just amazing. I can’t help it, I love snow! There’s not too much of the good thing yet so it’s still possible to walk around without problems, just ankle deep mostly. I made good use of it today, took the new road down to Öster-Hocklan…

Don’t worry, these are probably the last bird pictures I’ll post in a while. The season is getting so late that the light just never seems to be right. Yes, that’s what I said! Here’s why. Shortly after sunrise my bird feeder is lit by the warm light. Now that would normally be a good…

Back to normal time. It’s not even 4pm and the light is already fading! We definitely need some snow now to brighten up the landscape. I walked to Kvarnsjön to see if I could make anything out of the creek and the ice. The ice is actually rapidly disappearing, when I got there I had…
