There’s one area in Ljusdal which has been hotly contended as long as I have lived here. There used to be a sawmill next to the lake but they have now demolished it and the big question they have debated for years is, what to do with this area. Everything from swimming halls to shopping…

With all the great experiences in the past three days and a blister in my foot, I didn’t want to even try to do any more shooting. There was no way I was going to top anything I had done so far so after a lazy morning I sat in my car and drove home.…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

It got cloudy yesterday afternoon and it was still cloudy in the morning, so we didn’t have to do another early morning. Which was just as well, because our plan was to hike to Helags today so it was good to have a good night’s sleep in reserve. We left after lunch and there were…

Every photographer knows that sunrise and sunset are the best time for shooting. I’m ok with sunsets, but sunrises tend to require such early wakeups that I’m having a hard time with it. But all I really need is some company to motivate me to get up and go out, and so it was that we…

Well I guess it was bound to happen, I’m just surprised it took over 250 days. I don’t have a 365 picture! I took it, but before I uploaded it to the computer, I formatted the memory card. Oops! So now I can only aim at 364 pictures, but my conscience is clean – I…

Weird boat by the lake. No idea what it’s used for, there’s a saw kind of contraption in the fore with a lot of reeds and waterlily pads hanging from it. Maybe it’s for removing the plants to make open water, considering that this lake is starting to get tough on propellers. On the other…

This the first time I’ve seen the farmer harvest hay twice from ”my” field. In the previous summers he’s waited until late summer to do the harvest but now he came around already in July so he got a second harvest as well.

Third zoo in just over three weeks, third nice zoo visit in a row. We drove to the Orsa Björnpark today and got lucky with the weather, it felt like a risk because the forecast said it would be half sunny but it was actually quite foggy and the fog didn’t start clearing out until…

It’s still warm and sunny, I went cycling. Shorts were ok but I quickly found I needed a long sleeved shirt to protect my torso from the draft when the speed goes up, that’s the difference between summer warm and autumn warm. Anyway, I took myself to Knutnäsudden although I knew that the water level…
