If yesterday was all about the thunder rumbling around but little rain, then today was about little rumbling but a lot of rain! No problems here though, I know the storms have been really bad elsewhere in Sweden but here the raining was over quickly, even if it was quite intensive while it lasted. The picture…

This is a back-dated post – we had a thunderstorm going around Föne from about 3pm to 9pm so I didn’t dare to keep my computer plugged in while it was going on (the storm was never really right on us though, we only got 3mm rain). And after I thought it was safe, I started…

Another scorcher of a day, it was 28°C in the shade by 11am. The best place to be on such a day is to sit in an airconditioned car, and the next best thing is to walk on a sea shore to let the sea breeze bring relief to the heat. So that is what…

It’s too dang hot to process the pictures, I’ve got 28 degrees centigrade here in the living room and it’s not even the hottest place in the house. It’s too hot to take the pictures, too – sweat was running to my eyes, making it difficult to see through the viewfinder. I had the insane…

Knutnäsudden is better as a morning location for photography, but it’s a nice place to be, at any time of the day, when the water level is low. And there’s normally always some pictures to be taken!

I thought the white waterlily buds by the jetty would be in bloom now, but I found them all closed. In fact, all around the lake, all white waterlilies were closed. Very strange. So I did some research and found that white waterlilies close themselves at 5pm, not sure about the accuracy but apparently Carl von…

I was good today – I cycled to work, and took a detour back home. I should do that more often… but my cycling tends to be very weather dependent. The morning was finally warm enough for me! On the way to work, there’s this spot where there used to be a small cabin – or…
