For the past three evenings I’ve been trying to get my sights on the comet Pan-STARRS without any success. The first evening I was probably looking a little bit in the wrong place, the second evening I was probably out too late and yesterday when my timing and place where right, I couldn’t see it…

On a personal note, I went to see a physical therapist yesterday. Maybe I haven’t complained about my right hip so much in this blog, but I’ve had a problem with it just about all my adult life. It starts hurting when I do long walks, and when it gets really bad my knees and…

Wow. We had an earthquake today! The whole house rattled in the afternoon, at first I thought it was a big truck that drove past, but the road is too far for it, so then I thought that the remaining snow on the roof fell… before I had analysed it further, the movie I was…

It’s been another weird winter. Almost all the snow we have now came in December, and since then we’ve had some warm periods with snowmelt. And now it’s really cold again, it was -20 degrees this morning. But the sun is warm, so even if the winter is trying to stage a comeback, it is…

I got my Loka backpack from F-Stop last week and I got to use it in action already last weekend in the mountains. One weekend is perhaps not long enough to create a definitive picture of the product, but I’m confident that I have a pretty good idea of the pros and cons, based on…

I haven’t done any skiing in many weeks, since I came to the conclusion that there’s no good skiing to be done in Föne. But that’s just the photographer in me speaking, because I’m not tired of skiing in itself. So in order to get back to skis, I drove to Kajevall yesterday. They have…

Two weeks ago I wondered when the sun would reach enough high in the sky to reach over the Vallåsen mountain and shine on my house. I walked up to the top of the mountain today again and when I came home around lunchtime, there it was… the sun shining right on my balcony! I…

One subject that I normally bring up at least once a year is the camera backpack. It has been ridiculously difficult to find one that fits my needs – has padded space for camera and a couple of lenses, has other space for lunch and extra clothes, pockets for accessories, external attachment points for extra gear,…

Well, having said that local walks don’t inspire me, curiosity took over today. I wanted to see what’s happened with the flood around the creek and down in Mon (although I had no intentions to actually walk into the area where I had my accident with the ice!). When I got to the creek it…
