I did some sightseeing today. The water level in Ljusnan is quite low again, so I wanted to explore the shoreline features but this time on the western side of the river, where I haven’t been so much. My first stop was this summer’s favourite at Knutnäsudden, but the rest of the places were new.…

So, no more bird shooting for me. Last night I got startled just when I was about to fall asleep, by a mouse inside the walls. Last winter I had big problems with the mice, thankfully they never got in the flat but they did chew up the network cable that goes through a hole…

I felt a great need for hiking. Not least because I got myself new hiking boots (and this time they are waterproof for sure, unlike all my previous supposedly waterproof boots which have greatly reduced my faith in Gore-Tex), but I just somehow I wanted to be out using my feet. I haven’t found any…

Särvfjället is a perfect place for a ”last day of vacation” hike. It doesn’t require a detour, it’s accessible and provides options for both short and long hikes. And today the good weather continued, it was much like the morning yesterday except that it didn’t get overcast later. A little bit cloudy, yes, but it…

What a glorious morning. It had been very cold at night with clear skies, which meant that there was a lovely morning mist that I got to admire through the car window, as I was speeding down to my spot. For many years now I’ve been wanting to take a morning light picture of the…

I had a day off from hiking. You’d think that I would have energy in reserve so I could shoot the sunset and moonrise, but nix. I’m sitting here on the couch, writing this. I can see that there are some clouds in the east where the moon is rising so here’s hoping that I’m…

I drove to Ljungdalen in the morning, the target was to hike up the Södra Gröndörrstöten fell that I missed in the summer. I took the pilgrim trail towards Helags and I got rained on at first, but it was just showers that drew by quickly so I was spared from the same misery as…

Well, I said it would rain. It sure did today. I only managed to get to Kappruskaftet when it started, and it didn’t take long before it got really bad. Heavy rain, heavy wind, my clothes were put to test and so was my backpack. I had opted not to get the rain cover for…

I got to the cabin yesterday and kicked off my vacation. I was curious to see the state of the autumn colours and found that it’s not very good this year. Much of the leaves have already fallen and the remaining colours are a bit on the dull side because of the warm weather we’ve…

It has been very quiet in this blog recently and it’s because photography suddenly became very meaningless. Tragedy has struck – my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and now I am trying to accept that I will lose her. I have always considered myself as rather unemotional, maybe it’s something that runs in the…
