Nature is good for people, to state the obvious. But did you ever wonder why a place, a landscape affects or even overwhelms you, to stay with you forever? Why do we feel like this? What is it that we find there? Above all, is there an explanation for the appreciation? Certainly. It is a…
Airportproof and outdoor resistant. Plane, train, bus, wilderness. On my way to the world I love most, to those lonestanding tall trees, the landscapes of the taiga, and the stones that tell their tale from long ago. The northern part of Europe. The Osprey Ozone is perfect for a weekend break or a business trip….
A photographer’s dream called Svalbard. Located between Norway and the North Pole and dominated by ice, wind, and sea. It is the habitat of the polar bear and home to Melissa Schaefer. White, wild, and beautiful. The arctic surroundings come with cold temperatures, stunning aurora light shows, and the blue tones of glaciers. Freeze frame…
Portage Glacier across the two miles of lake. Surrounded by towering mountains that plunge straight into the water. Nature’s splendour right in front of me. Old friends we are, meeting once in a while. Today Gibbs will paddle his way up to greet the glacier again. Portage Glacier is an Earth time travel I am…
The Hidden Life of Trees. A book title that suggests secrets and fairy tales. Both are here to discover, following the footsteps of the author and forester Peter Wohlleben, and Petter Elmberg who read the book and now write about it. A forest is a magical place indeed, a lot is happening out there. It’s…
Destination Gränslandet, central Scandinavia, the borderlands between Sweden and Norway. With a new daypack, the Osprey Sirrus 24. Like a companion, only met recently and invited to come along, a new pack is a challenge. It has to walk with you, river deep, mountain high, without complaints. Weeks in untouched and remote wilderness country encounters…
Paradise is to be found everywhere. It only depends what you’re looking for. Enchanting forests, endless woods where you walk without encountering another human being – or sunny beaches, fun packed to the maximum. And everything in between. I love nature, the colours, the scents, the seasons. And stones – the small pieces of earth…
River reflections and climate change, the actual subject matter. Framed in one single image since this picture represents what is important in life. To me, that is, hopefully to a lot of other people as well. Interdependence of systems. How we fit in. We love people, we love nature, we love things. Not…
Destination Southern fjords. Not Norway, not Iceland but Italy – the lakes in the northern part of that beautiful country where the mix of nature, art and excellent food is a travel awesome guarantee. In the back of the car our luggage, including two Osprey packs sent to me recently, the Sirrus 24 daypack and…
The Northern Lights, fascinating and magnificent. A mystery, inspiring people’s beliefs and creating myths. A scientific challenge as well. The Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland developed a theory to answer the question why auroras appear when the magnetic field of our planet is disturbed. Even though his work lifted the veils of the aurora borealis, it…
