I spotted another waterfall in satellite pictures and scouted the spot in Fjällnäs a couple of months ago. Been waiting for an opportunity to shoot the falls since then, and today I finally got there. I was hoping for a bit more colour in the trees, but it is what it is – the moth…

Sometimes Plan B works out better than Plan A. I have a feeling that this was the case for this mini-vacation. Instead of doing Galdhøpiggen (bad weather), I did some last minute research and found a route that includes the Aursjøveien (Aursjøvegen) mountain road, Norway’s highest waterfall Mardalsfossen, the spectacular Romsdalseggen hike in Åndalsnes, and the…

The wind is really bad today. And when I drove the Mittåkläppen road in the morning, the thermometer showed a generous 4 degrees (well, at least it was above freezing). I had gloves which really were needed, but a cap and some long underwear would’ve also felt nice. On the upside, no mosquitoes! With the…

After some heavy hiking in the Alps, it is nice to be back on our gentle fjälls and take it slow and just enjoy the trek. Today’s activity was to check out a waterfall I found out about recently, the Fallmoran waterfall in Vemdalsskalet. It was a 4 km hike from the Storhogna hotel, and coming…

I’m the queen of planning. And not doing. If I come up with a thing I would like to do, a place I want to see, I can spend hours on finding out the best way of doing it. And then never do it. But now it’s changing – 2017 is the year of experiences for…

It’s nice to have some places which you can visit year after year on the same date. And spring is just about the only season where it makes any difference how the season is progressing. Summer just follows the spring, autumn colours appear almost always in the middle of September, first snow can fall at…

Happy news – my knee is (almost) back to normal! I walked up and down Funäsdalsberget to test it and I didn’t have any reason to be worried about the knee any more. It feels a bit odd on occasion but I’m totally going to ignore it and just do what I want to do. At this…

After a very warm March which almost got me thinking that we’d have no snow left for Easter, we now have winter again. I woke up to a white landscape, even the trees were decorated! But even if the thermometer insisted that it was below freezing, the intense April sun only needed half a chance and the snow…

I always say ”I learn from my mistakes”. And I do, after I’ve made the same mistake about three times. Because that’s where I am right now. First there was the hike to Skarsfjället last summer which got me feeling dizzy on the days that followed (caused by the lack of drinking and eating during…

We are really getting to see the nasty side of the weather in the islands. The wind is relentless and it’s still raining, but what is that to an intrepid group of photographers? We were out and about early in the morning, as usual. We drove to Tjørnuvík, where the bay is somewhat sheltered from the…
