In the past few weeks I’ve been thinking that maybe I don’t like winter as much as I used to. Or rather, I still like winter, but I also really really want it to be summer so I could go hiking, I have all these big plans already. But then it started snowing. A lot.…

I’m getting tired of the local trails in Loos, so I drove to Hamra today. The snowmobile trails go in three directions from Hamra: west towards Västbacka, south towards Malungshed and north to Västersjö, where the trail branches towards Tandsjöborg and Loos. I was interested in the Västersjö trail, because it crosses over some marshland…

It has been snowing quite a lot but the wind has also been quite heavy, so the landscape is once again not looking as nice as I would hope for. But that doesn’t stop me from going skiing of course, it just means that it’s harder to find any good pictures. I had a really…

It’s been a cold weekend and I skipped my planned excursion yesterday, so I was really hoping I could go out today. By noon the temperature was up to -18°C so I dressed warmly and set out. And it wasn’t actually as bad as I expected, breathing was my biggest concern and that was no…

So it’s the last day of the year, time to wrap up photography for 2009. The scenery is still nice and wintery, but when you look through the viewfinder it’s not so pretty anymore. Windblown debris and pockmarks from fallen snow, not ideal for landscapes. But I had to try anyway, so I opted for…

Four days off! Thank you very much. The landscape is certainly perfect for the season and the temperature likewise, so I went for a walk and explored a forest road I’ve never taken before. The road is a dead end so I haven’t bothered to go there before, but according to the map there’s a…

I had big plans for today. I was going to hike downstream Svartån from the Svartåvallen road; every time I drive over the bridge there I think that it looks good but the terrain on both sides of the creek looks a bit tough so I’ve never tackled it. I’ve absolutely no idea why I…

There’s snow and then there’s snow. The snow we have at the moment is not good for hiking, it’s very dry and powdery so even the snowmobile trails are soft. You waste a lot of energy in sinking and sliding with every step instead of going forward. So there’s something to be said for above…

Yesterday was a windy day, so although we got a little bit of new snow the windblown debris was spoiling the landscape. Today however, it was snowing even more and the wind had quieted down enough so the landscape was looking a whole lot better. I did a snowshoe hike to the Älgsjön lake which…

Wasted day off… the sunrise disappeared behind clouds and the snow disappeared from the trees by the gusty winds. I couldn’t have been less inspired to do anything but I finally forced myself out to scout for a certain location. Having done that, I just hoped that the sunset would be interesting because the sky…
