My friend has planned a nice itinerary to show me the best of Skåne. Since I started my travels in 2013 with the first Iceland trip, I’ve kept an open mind about every place I visit. The idea is that whatever I will see is new to me, so it doesn’t really matter exactly what…
I had a long day yesterday. 650 km in the car, and two highpoints on the way (Dalsland and Bohuslän), but I made it to the camping in Kungsvik as scheduled. It had been a warm and sunny day, but it’s still only spring and I woke up to a frosty tent and car. I…
I have done 36 of the ”60 toppar” project so far. #37 will be special – it’s the first one I will do on skis! The nights are still insanely cold. It was -27°C this morning so I was in no hurry at all to leave. The days are very long, so there’s no need…
Exciting news this week, Sony is going to release A7 III! It greatly improves on the two biggest nags I have with my old A7: AF and battery life. Then I saw the price tag and got a hiccup. 24000 SEK! Holy cow. I bought my A7 for 11K three years ago, and the price…
The other day I was watching ice hockey. I was simultaneously trying to listen to something else, so I muted hockey. When I stopped listening to that other thing and the game was still on mute, I noticed something strange – it was much easier to follow the play. I’ve always wondered how the commentators…
The days are getting longer and definitely warmer, when the sun shows up like it did today. The only way to spend these days is on the mountain, so I put on my skis and started towards Ånnfjället. I was going to follow the prepared ski trail up, but when I passed the unmarked snowmobile…
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…
What a great year it was! 2017 did wonders for my personal development – I pushed my limits further than I had thought was possible. Looking back, the greatest achievement must be the via ferrata in Italy. It was tough both physically and mentally, but I did it! And then there were so many other…
What a morning! I left well and early to catch the sunrise on Ånnfjället, but it wasn’t quite as straightforward as I had thought it would be. For starters, it was much colder than it was supposed to be, and for a brief moment I even considered cancelling. Skiing in -20°C is not entirely good…
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)…
