Photography is a great way to reset your thoughts. When I set out for a walk, I had a lot of negative thoughts in my head. The problem is with my neighbour/landlord who is apparently not able to grasp the concept of ”yours and mine”. Meaning that when I pay my rent, I pay for…

It seems like every time I find a great place, I keep returning to it for many weeks in a row until I’m satisfied I’ve explored it in detail. My current such place is Svansjöbäcken, so that’s where I found myself this morning. There was a bit more water thanks to the rain/snow earlier this…

It was such a nice weather that I couldn’t resist going for a walk. -1ºC, windy and – snowing. 5cm so far, still coming down. For some reason I didn’t see anyone else out. Not even footprints in the snow.

I just remembered that last spring I posted my plan for the summer. So time to check the list and see how I did. Motorbike. Well, we all (the regular blog readers, anyway) know what happened with that. Crash boom bang. Add some bad weather and it’s a recipe for leaving the Tricker in the…

Now I can check off the second waterfall in Björnån, having seen the first one last week. I was really curious to get there because in the satellite picture and on some maps it seemed like there was a bridge over the river, although it was nowhere marked as such. And indeed, a bridge it…

I shouldn’t have complained about the light yesterday. Today was worse. And the wind was bad, too. Just the dullest circumstances possible for photographing the autumn colours, but I tried. Just needed to avoid having sky in the composition, or large areas of water. But one thing that works fine on days like these is…

A few weeks ago we drove along the Voxnan river north from Rullbo. I thought the place had fabulous potential and planned to get back in the autumn with all the colours. And that’s what I did today. Only problem was that the light was awful – that disgusting thin veil of clouds across the…

I was reading the latest Suomen Luonto (Finnish Nature) magazine that I brought with me from Finland. They had polled a number of Finns to find out what Finnish landscape they think is most beautiful, and the landscapes on offer ranged from seascapes to mountains and old industrial towns to farming. The winner was a…

I’ve finally finished processing the pictures from my trip. Some of them worked out better than I expected, and some turned out to be not as good as I had hoped for. An acceptable average! The pictures in this blog post are not related to the text, other than that everything is related to my…
