In the morning I saw some movement in the garden, it was the roe deer making their way down to the field. I grabbed the camera and sneaked on the balcony and waited for them to pass by, too bad I still had the wideangle attached to the 6D so I had to settle with…

It was the warmest day of the year so far and I decided to start the cycling season. I thought I would take it slow and easy, no need to break any records. Then I had the brilliant (and by brilliant I mean, not really) idea to take a small gravel road and it turned…

Went out to my favourite spot last night but alas, still no aurora. There hasn’t been any solar activity to speak of to create aurora tonight either, so there’s no point in going back and take these same pictures again. But still, it’s been fun shooting these and in the past couple of weeks that…

The first crocus bud! Last year I got the first bud on April 22. But since this is only the second spring that I have crocuses, it’s too early to draw any conclusions about that.

I’m trying to get started with running again. I have an awful tendency to find excuses not to – like last year, my knee was sore. Well, it was. It wouldn’t have killed me though. Anyway, I’ve discovered that running has its benefits. For one thing, it’s over soon – when it comes to physical…

I just wanted to say it again. I do hate the wind. I somehow got away with last week’s adventure without catching a cold, but I did seem to get an over-sensitivity to wind because it totally gets to me. As soon as I feel the slightest breeze on my skin, I start freezing. So…

I’m feeling really lazy. I mean, really really lazy. I just want to sit in the recliner and drink coffee and eat things that will make me fat. So I’ve been doing things on the computer and put together my first slideshow in Lightroom and published it on Youtube. The soundtrack is the wind in…

Last night was clear, so I drove to Skalsjön to shoot some starry sky pictures. I’m trying to find a good spot for night sky photography and on the map it looked like Skalsjön would offer good views towards south-west where I find my beloved Orion. It turned out that the view was indeed good,…
