Had a full day of fun in Ramundberget! They have a new(ish) ski lift that takes you up in the summer, and the Tusen restaurant on top is open during the lift operating hours. So I took the lift up, walked around on the tundra in search of photo ops, but it wasn’t very easy…

Sunny and calm mornings are not to be taken for granted, so I drove to the red-throated diver location in the morning. Would be nice to get some front lit birds, which will really bring out the red throat of theirs. Walking through the forest I could see one bird take off but this was…

Some assorted pics from this week’s excursions. The black vanilla orchid is work in progress, I still haven’t found a good way of shooting them. It doesn’t help that I only found seven individuals, out of which some were still barely more than buds. So I will need to visit the location again, hopefully find…

Last week I visited a small lake in search of a geocache. I found the cache and in the process I scared two small chicks that had been hiding on the water’s edge close to the cache. Further out on the lake I saw an adult bird, but of course I had neither a camera…

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 –…

I found some mountain avens growing by the road in Ljusnedal. That’s not the right place for shooting them though, you have to go to the tundra instead! Which is what I did, I drove to Hamrafjället and walked through the flower meadows (which didn’t have any flowers yet) and up to the pass between…

I’m trying to take different routes every time I do my evening walk. Yesterday I went to the gravel pit, more with the intention of finding the shortcut to the waterfalls than anything else, but I got so much more – a real hotspot of flowers, and some of them quite exciting. Not all of these flowers…

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…

While everyone else was busy dancing around maypoles, I used my day on the first ”real” hike of the summer. And indeed, it felt like summer, despite the snow and the little bit of ice I found on the tarn which was target for the day. The tarn is between the peaks of Lill-Skarven and…
