For years I’ve been looking at the Rogen Nature Reserve on my map. The region is filled with lakes in all kinds of exciting shapes and sizes and I’ve been wondering what they would look like in real life. Today was the day I was finally going to go there and see it for myself.…

I woke up early to catch the morning light, only it turned out that I might as well have slept in. Once again there was enough clouds in the sky to make photography just one long exercise in patience and I really broke my record while I waited for light to fall on both my…

I found a new waterfall favourite – the Livsäterån creek. I didn’t have much of an idea of what to expect, except that I had read that it was a scenic creek with some waterfalls. As it turned out, it was absolute and pure bliss for a waterfall photographer! The weather had turned out just…

My holiday is by no means over yet. I had a day of rest at home, but now I’m heading to Funäsdalen until Sunday. I’m not planning to do any extensive hiking – 54 km earlier this week will suffice for exercise – but I guess it’s inevitable that I will be walking at least…

Since it had been a clear night, we now had frost on the ground. Once again I couldn’t resist it but got out with the camera while waiting for breakfast to be ready – now there’s another luxury for you. Wonderful! We were out on the trail before 9am and the frost was still thick…

When I woke up, the first thing I did was to take a look outside. When I saw the morning light on the mountain opposite the lodge, I just had to go out with the camera and get some quick pictures before breakfast. We wanted to get going early because the 19 km from Sylarna…

The photographer in me would’ve wanted some sunshine, but this was a hiking trip so the most important thing was that we were going to have just the best possible conditions for hiking, couldn’t have…

Seems like it has taken forever but my now almost traditional autumn holiday has arrived. Last year we tried a short return hike to Helags but now we’re ready for something a bit more meaty – the classic Jämtlandstriangel, or the Jämtland Triangle. It’s a 47 km trek between the mountain lodges of Storulvån, Sylarna…

Once for a change I thought that I would try to catch some morning light. I think I’ve mentioned before that I really really like a good night’s sleep, so you don’t often see me out and about at sunrise. This morning the sun came up 6am and my best effort was to be on…

All this raining has been really good for the mushrooms. You can almost see them grow! For some reason the fly agarics really love the lawn (moss) behind my house. I’ve never seen them in such numbers, and I probably don’t even want to know exactly why they like this location so much. But there…
