The plan for today was to drive to Jotunheimen and camp at Juvashytta. We took the scenic route southwest of Rondane and at first we had the weather with us, with some sunshine and blue sky. We stopped at every potential spot for pictures but I guess the Norwegians have too much of the nice…

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 was supposed to get Ikea deliver my furniture today, but they called me in the morning to say that the car is broken so they will have to postpone it for tomorrow. My cabin is cursed, for sure. So I had to come up with a plan B, and quick. No vacation is complete…

I’ve finally finished processing the pictures from my trip. Some of them worked out better than I expected, and some turned out to be not as good as I had hoped for. An acceptable average! The pictures in this blog post are not related to the text, other than that everything is related to my…

I had a long drive ahead of me, so I started early. I was looking forward to the Wilderness Road as it goes above the treeline, so the scenery should be good. Initially it was a bit cloudy and the wind was only marginally lighter than yesterday. It wasn’t particularly warm either – my fingers…

I have a vacation again – the last of my summer vacation. When I left, the weather was actually nice and summery, but when I got to Strömsund and turned west towards Gäddede, I was met by increasing wind and dark clouds. I don’t mind the rain, but the wind was really bad – there…

I’m sitting on the ferry on my way back to the mainland, time to kill. So here are some miscellaneous observations from Gotland. It has been a great trip, and I’m well pleased with myself to have overcome the winds so I don’t have a feeling that I missed a picture because it was blowing…

My last day on Gotland, time for some sightseeing since my orchid hunt is over. I was actually completely unprepared for sightseeing so I hadn’t done any research on what would be worth seeing – I had expected to spend my entire visit with the orchids. So I just looked at my roadmap which had…
