While cross-country skiing on the mountain I passed this couple. They seemed pretty weathered, but at least they had each other.​

This is a panorama I made with my iPhone 11 Pro, while balancing on top of a big pile of snow next to this winter road. I think the phone did a pretty good job of letting the colors shift from a pale yellow to a turquoise blue.​

I was out walking in the snow enjoying the afternoon light, when I saw this tree backlit by the sunset. It was freezing cold, but I took off my warm gloves to capture a photo anyway. (Well, this picture is actually made up out of three photos using HDR technique.)​

The sunsets in Sälen are often quite nice. In winter, they also arrive quite early. I took this photo at about half past three in the afternoon and the sun was already down behind the mountain.

Perhaps it wasn’t a very good idea to bring the camera on the ski tour. Well, it was a good idea if the plan was to go on a photo tour. My plan, however, was to go cross-country skiing and exercise a bit. This afternoon I think I got more photos than training though.

As my wife drove me to the train station, we passed this field with a view of the morning sun under a dramatic cloudscape. Naturally we had to stop, so that I could run out on the field with my camera to capture some morning drama.

I’m quite new to cross-country skiing, so I am not sure. But I think this is a sign and I imagine that there is some kind of message on it that is intended for me. Being new to this, I found it quite difficult to read.

Maybe it just said “It’s winter, keep cool!” In that case, I got the message.

I spent the first hours of the day looking out over the water. My plan was to capture the sunrise over the lake. I also wanted to experiment a bit so I brought my converted camera as well. This is one of the photos I took with it.​

I usually try not to get too crazy when editing my photos. I want the pictures to be (at least somewhat) realistic. That rule, however, goes out the window when I use my full-spectrum converted camera. Then I like it to be a little bit crazy and a lot colorful. Like this photo for example. It’s shot in the early morning light after an hour or so of capturing the sunrise.​

One of the perks of being a morning person is that you might get the opportunity to enjoy a nice sunrise now and then. I enjoyed this one from a balcony on Langkawi. A rather nice way to start the day.
