The ice is settling in the fjord and the last boat out left a trail.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
Ice is settling

Snow cover
I just realized editing this photo that it’s unique. The same scene will never appear again. This snow is already gone and even if it will snow again it will at best be, same same but different!
The past is the past but the future is an enigma, ha de Gött!
Freezing sunset
This is one of my favourite places, Tjurpannan nature preserve close to my home. Normally it’s quite easily accessible but this day I had to walk 5km in 35 centimetres of snow and at -15°C. I think it was worth it!
Some struggles are worth having, ha de Gött!
Waterfall
Different angles of the same waterfall outside Munkedal, Sweden. The top part is quite easy to reach but the lower part with a higher drop is not so easy with the ice and mud.
Remember to keep the lens dry, ha de Gött!
Dull and grey
Even if the winter weather often is dull and grey you can find something interesting for your lens.
Here I found two bridges with the same curvature. The high bridge named Sundsbron was built in 1963 over the small strait between the two lakes Ellenösjön and Östtersjön. The road 172 from Uddevalla to Arvika runs over it. For the old iron bridge in the foreground I could not find any information when it was built. A qualified guess based on another bridge with the same design I wrote about (link), it was built late 1800 or early 1900.
Even in fog you can find a way, ha de Gött!
Melting
After some lovely winter days last week with cold and snow it is now 20°C warmer. Rain and melting snow overflows rivers and creeks.
Keep your feet dry, ha de Gött!
Snow and shadows
Cold and snow covers all in white. Changing the scene for the sun to cast long shadows. Everything bleeds into one colour.
Dress warm, ha de Gött!
Ice egg
A blade of grass in an eggshell of ice.
Ha de Gött!
Winter and Snow
With the new year came a gale strong north wind with snow and cold. With a cold effect in the wind below -20°C you need to be prepared before you go out. Woollen underwear, extra socks, winter ski pants and thick winter jacket.
To sit down out of the wind with a cup of hot chocolate with this scene makes it all worth it.
Stay warm, ha de Gött!
Happy New Year
I could not pick out my top 10 for 2025 so I choose a theme instead. 2025 was the year of light in my photography, in all shades. When so many things around the world is dark we need to embrace the light. I hope you enjoy.
Ha de Gött in the new year.
