Now that the nights can be quite cold, there’s often mist in the morning. I saw from the weather forecast that the conditions were right and this time I wanted to capture the mist, even if it meant getting up early on a Saturday. This time of the year, the sun doesn’t rise so frightfully…

Since I have a long drive back home, the plan was to do a trip in the morning, have lunch and then drive off and check out a spot along the way. So I took my bike to the Mittån delta in the Messlingen lake and it was just as remembered – difficult to access…

Somehow I totally managed to mess up my holiday planning for the summer so that I didn’t have any chance to drive to the cabin just for the weekend, until now. It’s a 3.5 hr drive so it’s not a good idea to drive in on Saturday morning and back on Sunday evening, there would…

It’s almost a month from my last post. Must be the longest break I’ve ever taken and I’m not happy about it. I mean, all things considered, the blog is not important. It’s the reasons behind the silence. The last time I wrote this weird sickness that hit me. Well, it actually got worse since…

Earlier I said that I was feeling some fatigue towards the end of my vacation. I assumed it was because I had pushed my body to beyond what it’s capable of, but I shouldn’t have been so hard on myself – I was already fighting an infection by then. In fact, it had started about…

Last night when I checked the weather forecast, it said it would be part sunny with chance of showers. So I woke up with high expectations, was met with grey skies and during breakfast, rain.

I slept for 10 hours. 10 hours! The last time it happened I was jet-lagged after 32 hours without sleep, coming back from Canada. I should’ve learned from my vacation in March. I can’t push myself physically every day, I just don’t have the condition for it and at some point my body will call…

The weather is getting warmer by now but it’s still overcast, so I thought I would use the light on flowers and waterfalls. The best location for doing both on one trip is Silverfallet in Skärkdalen. The path to the falls passes through some rich mires with many different orchids and other special flora. But…

Flatruet is a long plateau in an east-west direction with Messlingen lying at the foot of it in the south-east. There are some peaks rising from Flatruet, Ruändan is where the plateau ”ends” in the east and in the middle there’s a few other peaks. Today’s target was to conquer one of those middle peaks,…

My sister and her daughter came for a visit. So on Thursday I drove home, picked them up in Ljusdal, then we drove to the cabin for a couple of days and back home, I left them off in Ljusdal this morning so now the house is quiet and I am the master of my…
