My long awaited holiday is here! I’ve really been looking forward to a week in the mountains because this year we actually have some colours, unlike the massive disappointment that was 2011. The only threat I can I see is the wind because the weather forecast says that it’s going to be rather windy all…

We are now in the time between where autumn comes to end and the waiting for the snow begins. The nights are cold and the weather forecast said that it would be a sunny weekend, so I was really looking forward to a morning shoot at my favourite tarn of the year (it keeps changing,…

This is the last ”real” day of my vacation, meaning that it’s my last chance for a hike. I was going to go to the Lövörgraven ravine at Kappruskaftet that I was my original plan yesterday before I got the call from the camera club, but now when I parked the car I saw a…

I was going to hike to one of the ravines today but then I got a call from some members of the camera club who are on an annual excursion in Funäsdalen. Since I’ve been alone for over a week, I was only too happy to get some company so I abandoned the ravine and…

I had an ”off” day today. I thought I would get a delivery today but I didn’t, so that was morning wasted. In the afternoon I took some of the garbage left by the builders to the recycling station in Ljusnedal, which then left me the rest of the afternoon free with no plans for…

One mountain that I’ve meant to explore for a few years now is Ormruet. It’s a sub-1K peak but it’s located in a nice place, for one thing it’s close to the road so it’s only a 2km hike to the top (even shorter, if you’re prepared to climb a vertical cliff wall) and secondly,…

I was on a brief visit to the cabin this weekend. My parents came over so I got to show off the cabin and the landscape that I love, and I think they were impressed so I hope they understand why I’m not in no hurry to move back to Finland any time soon. Or…

Yesterday was such a great day that it was unrealistic to think that I would have another one today. My hike started off cold, windy and moody and when I was climbing up to mount Ramundberget from Walles, I found that my thighs were a lot more tired than the rest of my body. I…

I had a couple of visitors today, one of them all the way from Spain. It would’ve been really nice to show some beautiful mountains to him, but the powers that be decided otherwise. It was raining, and if it wasn’t rain then it was drizzle. But the autumn colours are there, no matter the…

I’ve been in desperate need of a vacation, and now I finally have it – one week in the mountains in the autumn colours is just what the doctor ordered. In preparation of the vacation, I had been studying the maps quite intensively. After all these years, I’m still finding new things, like this oddly…
