I can see Ånnfjället and Gråstöten from my kitchen window. As it was with Blåstöten last year, it has been annoying to see Gråstöten every time I look out the window, but not have been to the peak yet. I conquered Ånnfjället many years ago, in fact it was one of the first mountains I’ve…

Had a friend for a visit for a couple of days, nice with company! As always when I have visitors who are not familiar with Funäsfjällen, the first place I take them is Djupdalsvallen. The idea was to go up Stor-Mittåkläppen so the waffles would be well deserved, but the weather had other ideas –…

The season changed while I was gone – when I got home last night, I found that summer has come to the mountains as well! Now the trees are green and it’s nice and warm. And if I needed any more proof about the season, then I ate it today – I walked up to…

Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

It’s been very warm lately and the snowcover is visibly reduced every day – I can see this in the field where the dark spots are growing bigger and more numerous every day. Skiing is but a distant memory but I felt that it’s way too early to finish the season, so I drove to…

Got a couple of days off and spent a long weekend at the cabin. The weather wasn’t the best possible – it wasn’t cold, but it was overcast and windy. Very windy. And it has been windy all winter, which was very evident when looking at the snow cover. I have never seen this many…

With so many days off during the Christmas period, I needed to do something else than long walks around home. I was curious to see Njupeskär in the winter, that’s a nice day trip and I got a fellow photographer to go with me so we set off in the early hours in order to…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…
