An evening shock

Last week, I went to Lofsdalen, to visit my friend Michelle. On the last day at home however, something awful happened. I was sitting at my desk, editing some photos of my recent berry picking adventure in the forest and trying to organize myself before my travels in order to make sure I wouldn't forget…

Beach time

During the recent heat wave I did not only spend time at the lakes during the nights, but also durin the days to cool down a bit by the water, enjoy the atmosphere and quietness and read a bit in the sun. It felt amazing, especially knowing that the beach had recently been cleaned from…

Cracks in the ice

After 2 more days I finally returned to the lakes and now the snow was entirely gone, giving away an amazing view on the cracked ice. It was a really dark day. Thick layers of very deep hanging clouds took away most of the little daylight that we have. At the moment the sun rises…

Times in between

At the moment we are stuck in between seasons. It is not quite winter yet, but not autumn anymore either. The trees have lost all of their leaves after a few windy nights and the days have become incredibly short. At the moment the sun is only up between around 7:30h and 15:30h, so just…

Berry picking

Since most berries ripened while I was gone and have already been picked, I didn't pick a lot of berries after coming home. But I spent one day before travelling to Germany by a lake, photographing and picking some blueberries there. I was asked a lot if there was a lot of blueberries this year,…

Hot summer days

As I wrote before, here in Norrland this summer was especially cold. However we had a few especially warm days in July, where it was over 30°C for a few days in a row. My outside thermometer even measured above 40°C but of course that was in the sun on a day without any wind.…

Fishing and exploring

I have really come to enjoy going out with Tom to fish. Contrary to Germany it is not required to have a general fishing liscence, you only need to buy fishing cards for the lake or area where you are fishing. That makes it very easy to just stop at a place, buy a fishing…

Another lake – Abborrsjön

Last year when I was in this area of Sweden in the summer, I had a little stop at a lake. and ever since moving here I was very curious to visit that lake again, because it is not very far from my home. It would have been super interesting to see it in the…

Evening at the lake

A neighbor I recently talked to gave me the advice to check out the other shore of the nearby lake Grössjön. So I did. I went there with my drone so I could take pictures from many different angles. I hadn't used my drone in such a long time and I was so glad to…
