I’ve been waiting for a chance to shoot at Tevån, and today was perfect. Overcast and no wind, and the calm weather helped me a lot because I forgot to pack the step-up ring so I could use a 77mm 3-stop ND on the wideangle lens, which meant that I was stuck using the 10-stop ND instead.…

All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…

Maybe I was a bit too negative yesterday. The season wasn’t completely at an end – the raining stopped at lunchtime and I was out again. It was very windy though so I preferred to stay below the tree line, with just an occasional visit above to check out the grand landscape. I also chose…

As the rain is pouring outside my window, it’s time to face the fact – my hiking season has come to an end. Prematurely and with a fizzle (drizzle), not a bang. Feels like it’s been the same story the whole summer, every time I’m not on call, the weather is iffy. At times so…

Somehow autumn has gotten far along without me noticing it. The peak colours will be next week which is right on schedule, that’s the week I normally have vacation. Except not this year. Which I regret. Almost. Instead of enjoying autumn here at home, I’m going to Iceland in two weeks so I have to…

I have previously mentioned that every time I try to shoot a nice sunset, the sunset isn’t nice. To prove my point, I tried to shoot the sunset this evening. It wasn’t nice. The evening however, it was very nice. Måns-Erstjärnen is probably my #1 favourite location during calm weather and I’ve had some magical moments…

I went hiking for a change. The goal was to do two peaks today, Rutstöten (1098m) and Gråhöjden (1192m). They are in the same direction and so close together that it would be wasteful to only do one of the peaks at a time. And in fact, had I not already done Volldalshöjden, it would…

I finally got my new car! Actually, I got it last week – I drove to Östersund to pick up the car and my sister, who came to visit me for the weekend. It was great to see her and we had a good time with hiking, walking, eating waffles and chatting. All of that…

For only the second time this summer, I used my three-legged friend. The first time, incidentally, was at Livsäterån in early June, and today I was at Livsäterån again. I’ve probably said this before, but it felt good to be using the tripod and a 10-stop ND filter. I’ve been in snapshot mode all summer…

One of my (many) goals this summer was to cycle to Djupdalsvallen from home. I was going to do that last year, but I chickened out and drove to Bruksvallarna and then biked. No chickens today! The weather forecast had promised sunshine but the clouds were stubborn and the sun still wasn’t out when I…
