Today was my last chance (or have I overused ”last chance” by now?) to check off items from my to-do list for the snow-free season. Cycling to Backvallen was on the list and now I’ve done it. It’s a nice road, in surprisingly good condition considering that there’s very little traffic so there’s probably not much road…

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.…

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…

Did a really nice hike yesterday, from Slättansvallen in Ramundberget to the top of Klasberget. The hike was extra-nice because I was carrying extra-light – no camera gear except my little Panasonic Lumix LX100 compact. I wish I could do all my hikes with such a light pack… but alas, the heavy gear is sometimes needed. As…

It was just one of those days. Nothing turned out the way I planned. The forecast (three of them) said it would be half sunny in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, so I was out early and hiked up the infernal trail to Ånnfjället and then headed to a new spot I discovered earlier…

With the weather as it was, I was getting a bit desperate to find good option for hiking. But on Friday night, I finally had a good idea and expanded my search for good weather – and found it in Sonfjället. Well, theoretically anyway. You never know how those forecasts really turn out in reality.…

In the morning I was so tired I didn’t even want to go out. But sometimes all you need is to open the door and once you’re outside, the energy is restored and you’re ready for a new challenge. And that’s what happened today. I wrote about Tevån on Monday, about how I need to…
