It’s super moon today. I had a great plan to shoot it on Funäsdalsberget (again), but the weather disagreed – there wasn’t going to be even a hint of a moon with these clouds. That didn’t stop me from going to Funäsdalsberget though, because the trees are still all frosty and snowy and I love…

It’s not easy to be a meteorologist. I normally check several different forecasts and try to figure out who is right, and today I’m finally convinced that when we have high pressure with clear skies, FMI (Finnish) gets it right. Their forecast said it would be almost -20°C, while both Yr (Norwegian) and SMHI (Swedish)…

I did not want to go skiing. Crazy, but that’s really how I felt in the morning. I had to spend a good while convincing myself that I will like it if I just put the skis on and hit the snow. And I guess I was right about that, because at one point while…

It’s going to snow tomorrow. A lot. Unless it rains, of course. But I’m hoping for snow, which means that it’s winter for sure and that makes today the last chance to get any hiking done. So I went hiking. As to where I would do the hiking, it was an easy decision. Ånnfjället is…

You know how I love shooting the full moon rising (or setting) over the landscape. I rarely succeed, but I often try! It’s full moon tomorrow but the best chance of shooting it was today – moonrise was just after sunset so I might just be able to catch the moon before the sky got…

With the lack of anything better to do, I had a look back at the pictures from the hiking season. It was really one of the best summers ever, even though it got off to a bad start. First I had to wait for my knee to recover from the injury I sustained during the…

It’s still overcast, but the clouds are not quite as low as yesterday. There’s very little definition in the clouds, everything just looks… soft. In the summer when it’s high pressure, we have the puffy cumulus clouds against a blue sky. In the winter with high pressure, we have a soft grey sky. So, better…

The weather is turning colder and it was snowing last week. Here in Ljusnedal, it was a wet snow which didn’t settle on the ground, but as soon as you got a bit higher, it was proper snowfall. When the clouds finally cleared, I was looking at Ånnfjället which was completely covered in the white…

It’s here – the wind and the rain and the snow. Basically, normal Icelandic weather! It was raining by Mývatn but as soon as we started driving up a mountain, it turned to snow instead. Photography became a bit of a challenge, but we made a brave effort at Krafla, a water filled volcano crater.…

I have a new favourite place in Iceland. Kerlingarfjöll! I could easily spend a vacation in this one place alone! It has both the big and small landscape and fascinating details, all shrouded in the steam from hot springs and fumaroles. And to think that we almost missed out on it, as the torrential rains…
