Labour day weekend! Well not really, I did a brief appearance at work on Monday but it’s been a lot of time off anyway. So let’s see… On Saturday we drove to Gröntjärn, thinking that for sure we would see some pale pasque flowers. Yes we did, only problem was that they’re still budding. Gotta…

Here in Sweden we have a concept called aprilväder, April weather. It could be anything – cold and snowing, warm and sunny, and anything in between. Sometimes during the same day. Last year around this time I was wearing a t-shirt while cycling. Today it was snowing. Well ok to be fair, it was the…

Another exciting thing about moving is that you have a whole new region to explore. I’m familiar with Föne only as far as driving through a few times but I’ve never stopped to take a closer look at anything. The first thing I did was to study the map and I found an interesting looking…

It seems like lately I’ve been in a lens frenzy. In the past, I’ve normally bought (changed) one lens per year on average. Last year I got two and now I have yet another new lens. The thing is, since I got into wideangle photography, the Canon 24-105mm lens that’s been my normal walkaround lens…

I’m starting to get my new home in order, so I can think about other things. Like photography, of course! Since spring has arrived early this year, we drove around a little bit to find some birds that you normally can find in the fields while they wait for their nesting grounds to melt. But…

Lovely late winter’s day. I spent it all inside, going through my stuff to find out what I could throw away. I found that I had boxes and boxes and boxes of… boxes. Can’t believe how many empty cardboard boxes I’ve kept over the years! When I was done with my sorting, I had my…

Photographing a moon crescent is to be much harder than photographing a full moon. There was an ever so thin crescent yesterday that I kept admiring from the bus window, only to see it disappear behind the clouds by the time we were in Loos. The crescent is still nice today and I admired it…

My wish kind of came through, it snowed at night but the decoration on the trees is still on the wrong side of pretty so I took my chances with some open water instead. Nothing special out of that, either, but at least I got to wade in the knee deep snow and get my…

This February has been unusually bad for photography. February is normally not a busy month, but now we’re already on the second half of it and the only pictures I have are from the zoo. It’s a combination of lack of snowfall and windy weather that spoils the scenery, there’s nothing inspirational as far as…
