So I’m now officially a ”fönebo” – spent my first night in my new home! I have a good feeling about this, somehow it feels like this new home is a little bit luxurious compared to the old one, even if some things here are clearly too old and in need of replacing or fixing.…

I was supposed to stay in Messlingen until Sunday, but already on Friday I had a feeling that something wasn’t right. I went skiing but my heart really wasn’t in it and it felt like I was doing everything in slow motion. I was totally uninspired by everything and didn’t even bother to look for…

Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…

At school, we used to have a week’s holiday every winter. Translated from Finnish, a ”skiing holiday”. I stopped using it for skiing somewhere around my teens, but now it was finally time to resurrect that noble tradition. So I have a week’s holiday and will spend it at the cabin and go skiing every…

Lovely late winter’s day. I spent it all inside, going through my stuff to find out what I could throw away. I found that I had boxes and boxes and boxes of… boxes. Can’t believe how many empty cardboard boxes I’ve kept over the years! When I was done with my sorting, I had my…

Photographing a moon crescent is to be much harder than photographing a full moon. There was an ever so thin crescent yesterday that I kept admiring from the bus window, only to see it disappear behind the clouds by the time we were in Loos. The crescent is still nice today and I admired it…

My wish kind of came through, it snowed at night but the decoration on the trees is still on the wrong side of pretty so I took my chances with some open water instead. Nothing special out of that, either, but at least I got to wade in the knee deep snow and get my…

This February has been unusually bad for photography. February is normally not a busy month, but now we’re already on the second half of it and the only pictures I have are from the zoo. It’s a combination of lack of snowfall and windy weather that spoils the scenery, there’s nothing inspirational as far as…

With no new snow in a long time now, the landscape is not looking very pretty. The day however was beautiful, so a visit to the zoo was just the right thing to do. I have talked about the problems I have with my 300mm f4L in zoos. With the animals so close, framing becomes…

It’s the coldest day of the winter so far, around -20°C. It was -22°C when got up and the strange thing is that unless my memory totally fails me, it’s colder than it was last winter. Last winter was special in that the cold period lasted such a long time, but up here in Loos…
