I have put together a small booklet about forests in the provins of Uppland in Sweden. Be prepared of some critisism of forestry in my country, but the main purpose is to mediate inspiration for own exploration of some of the remaining real forests. The booklet consisting of 28 pages can be ordered by matswilhelm@teila.com […]Read Post ›

Soliga dagar som idag den 1 augusti 2020 vill jag prisa ljuset mitt på dagen. Ingen stress att gå upp jättetidigt för att få gryningsljus. Sedan följer ett stenhårt och omöjligt morgonljus.

To produce offspring for the future. From plants and insects this nice symbiosis was formed, which we all enjoy so much at this time of the year. Emptied seed capsules from last season at Primula veris, and a Queen Bombus terrestris at the important food plant; the garden hedge plant Lonicera caerulea.

Instead of winter we seem to have a kind of fifth season in the middle of Sweden. Today, I spent some hours exploring a new nature reserve in Uppland with the lovely name Älvgärde. It felt a litte bit like spring with some thirty whoopee swans on the flooded plane and the fields flashing in […]Read Post ›

Sunset comes so fast and the darkness likewise short after now in October. I was lucky this evening that I had time to do some experiments with double exposures before the light was gone.
