Unusually, I’m waiting until Tuesday to write about something that happened last weekend… Although there’s almost no point in going to the cabin on Saturday and coming back on Sunday, I did it anyway. I had a few small things I had to take care of and even I didn’t have the luxury of time,…

I had to drive to Fågelsjö today to take down my exhibition. The forecast said that the morning would be part cloudy, so I had hopes of capturing some waterfall images at Svartån, the stretch that I visited last November when it was too late in the season to get anything sensible done. And everybody…

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…

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…

Now this is what I call a Christmas present – new car! It’s a Nissan Qashqai 1.6 diesel, and I hope it will be everything the little Yaris wasn’t. My patience with the Yaris ran out last summer when it became painfully obviously how hopelessly inadequate it is on the mountain roads I was driving.…

Another quick visit to the mountains yesterday to fix one last detail before letting the cabin hibernate over winter – I’m not planning to use it until March. There was plenty of time for photography as well, but in these days when daylight is at a premium, time is a relative concept. We thought we…

It’s been a week and I only have one waterfall picture. That must be a record… I was going to fix that issue today, the idea was to locate and shoot Kvarnbäcksfallet which is south from the lake Storsjön. Finding it was easy in the end, it’s signposted from the road and the hike is…

I was supposed to get Ikea deliver my furniture today, but they called me in the morning to say that the car is broken so they will have to postpone it for tomorrow. My cabin is cursed, for sure. So I had to come up with a plan B, and quick. No vacation is complete…

Today we were a group of four photographers, my old photographer buddy and fellow botanist Mr S. had come over for the weekend and my regular photo companions from Ljusdal had driven up for the day. I had tried to plan a day that would provide the best chances with little effort, but that would…

I had this great plan, a short hike in the morning and then wait for the weather to improve and do a longer hike in the afternoon. A slight problem though, the weather got worse in the afternoon. Since I don’t have any Internet connection or even a mobile phone signal at the cabin, I…
