Glorious morning

15:th of March 2009
To take a morning walk in – 18° celsius around the cabins in this beautiful landscape just as the sun goes up, is nothing but a photographic thrill. What a light!

Snowshine

And the view across the lake with the haze, the frost and the blue sky...

The Ranger

15:th of March 2009
Alf – the caretaker of the lodge, but also mountain ranger and prefessional predator tracker, dressed up and ready to go on tour with his snowmobile to look for Wolverine-tracks. What a job!

All bad birders

14:th of March 2009
Bad boys birding have decided to go on a Siberian Tit expedition to the Grövelsjö mountains in southern Swedish Lapland. A great idea that I lead them on to... happily.
Here´s the group filled with anticipation just before it all starts. Having already seen Hawk Owl, Pygmy Owl, Nutcrackers, Grey-headed Woodpecker, White-tailed Eagles, Rough-legged Buzzards and even a Weasel on day one, you can´t really blame them for looking happy already.
Don´t forget to look at their website!

Fun on the bridge

14:th of March 2009
As sun breaks through and the blue infinity opens above us, we can´t help stopping by a bridge over some running, open water. Behind us cliff walls, teasing with presumed potential as a raptor breeding site in summer, as for now, still covered in snow. The low standing morning sun makes the funloving party play with our shadows.
