I’ve no special plans for this year’s vacation – just mountains. I started with a de-tour to Klövsjö, I wanted to check out the Fettjeåfallet waterfall. It was a sunny day so not really ideal for waterfalls, but at least I’d get to see the place. It’s a relatively short hike – about 2 km…

[This (very long) story starts on Saturday 7 February] It’s full moon on Monday and the moonset/moonrise co-incides with sunrise/sunset. It can only mean one thing – I have a day off and I’m heading to the mountains. I’ve booked myself to the Messlingen hostel and it’s snowing, so it’s almost a repeat of my…

For years I’ve been looking at the Rogen Nature Reserve on my map. The region is filled with lakes in all kinds of exciting shapes and sizes and I’ve been wondering what they would look like in real life. Today was the day I was finally going to go there and see it for myself.…

I woke up early to catch the morning light, only it turned out that I might as well have slept in. Once again there was enough clouds in the sky to make photography just one long exercise in patience and I really broke my record while I waited for light to fall on both my…

I found a new waterfall favourite – the Livsäterån creek. I didn’t have much of an idea of what to expect, except that I had read that it was a scenic creek with some waterfalls. As it turned out, it was absolute and pure bliss for a waterfall photographer! The weather had turned out just…

My holiday is by no means over yet. I had a day of rest at home, but now I’m heading to Funäsdalen until Sunday. I’m not planning to do any extensive hiking – 54 km earlier this week will suffice for exercise – but I guess it’s inevitable that I will be walking at least…

I probably shouldn’t say this but I’m getting fed up with the sunshine. I’m one of those people who can’t wait, so I get up early and go on my excursions despite the harsh light. It’s actually not always so bad with flowers, because it can really bring out the colours… but it also creates…

Time to concentrate on other flowers than just orchids all the time. The logical place for flowers of all sorts is the Hamrafjället mountain, so I took the trail to the meadows and then up to the peak. This is early in the season and many familiar flowers like the fragrant orchid and moor-king are…

This is turning out to be one busy holiday. Day after I came back from Gotland, my sister came for a visit. I had promised to show her my favourite stomping grounds – the mountains. So we drove up, regardless of the weather (raining), did some hiking and came back and did some local sightseeing…

5 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Det har gått tre år sedan den förra toppturen. Nu vet jag om 60 toppar och Stor-Axhögen blev min första topp som jag gjorde specifikt för att det är med i listan. Och Stor-Axhögen är definitivt en mycket större utmaning än de första fyra topparna jag gjorde, så nu…
