I can see the benefit of having a pet… someone to greet me at the door when I come home. On the other hand, it sounds like a lot of responsibility, I can’t even have flowers indoors – I gave up on that when a couple of cacti died on me. The flowers I have…
Rainy today, so it’s perfect for a visit at the zoo. I now have the year pass so it doesn’t really matter if I don’t get any pictures, at least I get to walk a few kilometres which is far better than watching movies at home. When it’s raining, it means that there’s not a…
I’m really, really, starving to find some flowers by now. Without a guide or knowing anyone who has any local knowledge, I have no idea where those beauties are hiding in Föne so all I can do is just randomly go from place to place, hoping that I would come across something interesting. So far,…
There’s a lot of agriculture in Föne, or at least has been. A lot of fields, some of them clearly abandoned by now, some that might or might not be used, and some with electric fences. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer and what kind of animals and how many will…
Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…
Been a warm autumn. Despite the cold nights we had in October, and the little bit of snow that came and went, there’s not a sign of winter yet. The days are just getting darker, that’s all. Even in the mountains it’s warmer than usual, the first cross country skiing race should go off in…
After taking hundreds of pictures of birds (and other moving things) last weekend, there were obviously quite a few shots I threw away. I mean, out of about 500 pictures, I kept 14. Either I suck at this, or the birds are really difficult, or then it’s the combination… the good news is that with…
I had a whole family of roe deer pass by the house today while I was at home and I actually managed to get some pictures and managed to mess them up pretty good, too – I had somehow left the camera on +1 EV while metering from the animals in the dark forest. Talk…
I warned you that I would post some more squirrel pictures! The ”problem” is that I’ve taken better squirrel pictures in the past two weeks than I’ve done in the past whatever years. The second problem is that every picture I have from the past weeks is the animal sitting on the same little perch,…
I had quite a day yesterday. In the morning I had the pleasure of having the squirrel as company and was quite happy about the resulting pictures, and then in the afternoon we did a skiing trip in Lofsdalen and in the evening I shot the perigee moon rising over the Hovärken mountain. I can’t…
