6th of June is a day off in Sweden, it’s the national day. There’s not a lot of tradition in Sweden to celebrate the day (it’s only existed as a bank holiday for a few years now). But thanks to its timing in the early summer, this day marks the opening of the summer season…

It’s another rainy day, but let’s see the positive in it – it’s not snowing. And I was ok with it, I had an idea for the flood plains and overcast weather was just the ticket. Walking around in the flood plains is like walking in a labyrinth. You go in one direction until you…

The summer is starting truly atrocious. Yesterday morning I had to scrape the ice off the car windows and today… it was snowing. We knew that the weather wouldn’t be good today but still not bad enough for the zoo, so we drove to the Orsa Bear Park. At first, the only problem was the…

I really like cycling and I enjoy all the small roads here in Föne. One problem though, I don’t like to carry a heavy backpack because, well, my butt doesn’t appreciate the extra weight on the saddle. So usually when I’m cycling, I just carry the camera and zoom lens and sometimes I only take…

People normally say that they love spring. I have no idea why. I mean yes, it’s nice it gets warmer after a cold winter, it’s nice that things start to grow… but no, spring for me is my least favourite season. It started when I was a child with allergies. What’s the point with warm…

It’s nice to see that green is becoming the dominant colour now. The fields are more green than brown and the trees are shooting off leaves and pollen. I’m still searching for flowers in Föne and not doing a very good job at it, but then again it’s still early days and most flowers haven’t…

Shock, horror, how could I forget to post pale pasque flower pictures when on Monday I finally, after so many years, got to see them again? Having searched for them high and low, and then missed the timing a few times, the happiness was total when the location at Gröntjärn had a grand display on…

There’s a lot of agriculture in Föne, or at least has been. A lot of fields, some of them clearly abandoned by now, some that might or might not be used, and some with electric fences. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer and what kind of animals and how many will…

The sun is out today so I went cycling. Even though the thermometre didn’t show any impressive numbers, I knew from experience that it would soon feel warm so I wore a t-shirt and a thin wind jacket and fingerless gloves. This time however it didn’t help me no matter how hard I was pedalling,…

Bad weather is supposed to be the photographer’s best friend but today I have serious doubts about it. Snow, sleet, rain. Not that it would stop me, of course, so I went for a walk. Since there’s almost nothing to see anywhere at this point in time, I walked down to the flood plains (don’t…
