We had a long trip to the Orsa-Finnmark today. The weather was anything but photogenic, overcast and very windy so the grand view we had from our first stop at Finnberget was wasted. Since my only picture from the place is not a very good, I won’t post it but I couldn’t resist using the…

Let’s see. Last Sunday was supposed to be sunny but it wasn’t. Then all week it has been sunny and calm, just simply gorgeous weather that I wasted in the office. And now it’s Saturday and it’s overcast and windy. I’m sure that the weather doesn’t read the calendar but this is just cruel. But…

It was a rainy and overcast day on Saturday, it didn’t clear up until right at sunset. Which gave me some nice clouds to shoot, it must be the first sunset I’ve caught since… since… apparently quite a long time. Sunday morning on the other hand was as bright as it gets in September. Maybe…

I set up my bird feeder site really early this year. It turned out to be a popular move because I’ve needed to refill the feeders every evening. All week I was wondering why the food is disappearing so fast because I knew from experience that the tits don’t eat that much… then today I…

The highest mountain in the Gävleborg county is Stora Korpimäki (or Korpmägg because the Swedes can’t spell Finnish) at 711 m. It’s a forest covered peak and up on top the forest takes on some alpine characteristics, but the point is that it’s still forest. Which means that high as the peak is, your views…

Raining. I’m good at rain-proofing myself and the camera, so I drove to Skärkdalen to photograph the Silver Falls I visited in the summer. It’s a 2 km hike from the car to the creek, the trail goes through some mud and muck and it was even worse now than it was the last time.…

Yesterday was such a great day that it was unrealistic to think that I would have another one today. My hike started off cold, windy and moody and when I was climbing up to mount Ramundberget from Walles, I found that my thighs were a lot more tired than the rest of my body. I…

Today I hiked to the peak of Lill-Skarven (1224 m). It was promising to be a relatively easy and quick hike, except that if you park your car by the road 84 in Tänndalen, the entire hike is uphill from there to the peak. The only places where it levelled off at all was when…

I had a couple of visitors today, one of them all the way from Spain. It would’ve been really nice to show some beautiful mountains to him, but the powers that be decided otherwise. It was raining, and if it wasn’t rain then it was drizzle. But the autumn colours are there, no matter the…

I’ve been in desperate need of a vacation, and now I finally have it – one week in the mountains in the autumn colours is just what the doctor ordered. In preparation of the vacation, I had been studying the maps quite intensively. After all these years, I’m still finding new things, like this oddly…
