It was an overcast day with clouds hanging below 1000m, so I decided to do a geocaching trip instead of hiking. There’s quite a few caches on the Ljungdalen side that I haven’t logged yet, plus that I wanted to check out the Djävulshålet (Devil’s Hole) canyon near Tossåsen. Amazingly, I managed to find all…

The weather is turning colder and it was snowing last week. Here in Ljusnedal, it was a wet snow which didn’t settle on the ground, but as soon as you got a bit higher, it was proper snowfall. When the clouds finally cleared, I was looking at Ånnfjället which was completely covered in the white…

Last full day in Iceland! And we made the most of it, and started before breakfast to shoot the Hvítserkur basalt stack. The official description says that it looks like a dragon which is drinking, but in my eyes it’s clearly a mammoth! After breakfast, we had our last shots at waterfalls and visited a…

I got my wish and we didn’t head out before breakfast. I think everybody was a bit tired after yesterday! We are going to move to a new location today but the drive isn’t quite as long as the one three days ago, so we had time for a proper morning shoot. We took the…

We started before breakfast to visit a hot spot for a morning shoot. And by hot spot I mean it literally – boiling mud, fumaroles, and all that. Photographically, for me personally, it was perhaps more like lukewarm. I couldn’t quite figure out what to make of the steam… this wasn’t a great landscape place,…

It’s here – the wind and the rain and the snow. Basically, normal Icelandic weather! It was raining by Mývatn but as soon as we started driving up a mountain, it turned to snow instead. Photography became a bit of a challenge, but we made a brave effort at Krafla, a water filled volcano crater.…

I have a new favourite place in Iceland. Kerlingarfjöll! I could easily spend a vacation in this one place alone! It has both the big and small landscape and fascinating details, all shrouded in the steam from hot springs and fumaroles. And to think that we almost missed out on it, as the torrential rains…

We spent another day in the lava desert, and it was another day with good weather. The wind only bothered us occasionally, and some places were mirror calm (although typically, as soon as we had cameras out, the wind broke the water). In the evening we visited a wonderful valley with more waterfalls than you…

I wasn’t going to do this, but here I am again – in Iceland! I was planning to do it next year, but a cancellation opened up a spot on this year’s trip with Creative Adventures and I thought, why wait, so I took the spot. We arrived yesterday and had time to settle in…

I’m pretty good at not losing things. What I mean is that if I lose something, I find it again. Sometimes quickly, sometimes after a long while, but those lost things have a habit of coming back to me. Most of the time, anyway. A couple of weeks ago I lost the remote for my…
