I think we can declare the skiing season open now! Yesterday I discovered that the track has already been prepared, so I had been looking forward to skiing all day today. When I got there, I found some places though where the wind had blown the snow off, but mostly it was just fine. It…

We were supposed to get a storm here last weekend, but it never happened. There was a stiff breeze at most, but otherwise just sunshine. The rest of the Sweden apparently suffered a lot worse weather… and now they get their vengeance, as we are hit by a snow storm. When I drove home, the…

So, there we go. Winter. It started snowing after lunchtime and I soon realised that I was in trouble – it was going to snow more in Loos and I had 60 km to drive with summer tyres on the car. I left work early and initially it was quite ok, some wet snow on…

There’s not much of it, but it’s white and it’s cold, so it qualifies. The first snow of the season! I was sure that the thin layer of snow would evaporate by the time I got home, but there’s still a little bit left. More is being forecast by the end of the week… I…

Determined not to let the whole weekend pass by without pictures, I drove to my favourite creek for more water photography. It has been raining non-stop since Wednesday night but today it was just foggy and light drizzle at most. Rain or no rain, it sure was wet – the forest was absolutely soaked. First…

Time to begin the journey home and drive across the island to our last overnight stop at Nanaimo. But I’d rather go out with a bang, so I got another chance to photograph some aquatic life at Pacific Rim, and then to top it all off, we had a lucky encounter with an otter at…

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve – that’s our primary Vancouver Island destination. We were both eager to see the coastal rain forest, so that was our first stop of the day. There are just short and easy hikes here and they don’t get much easier than the Rain Forest trail, but photography is just that…

Vancouver Island is a great place if you want to do whale watching, so we drove to Telegraph Cove in the northern Vancouver Island to catch a tour. It had been a foggy morning and we were a bit worried that we would lose all the whales in the fog, but as our departure got…
