Late summer evenings
After spending the late summer days in Sweden I now return to Switzerland with my nice memories. For example, geese and cranes at Hjälstaviken and the reed deer male under a nebula of apples at the old croft ruin at dusk.
Bright summer in der Schweiz
I could not wait to drive to Greifensee to try to check out the Dwarf Bittern which was reported to be heard in the evening. The summer day was still bright and I spent some time waiting and taking photos. It is summer here now; donkeys stays in the shadow and sheep need to visit […]Read Post ›
Mission completed
All projects for this spring are performed. For some days I find new inspiration on classic ground in central Sweden, but soon I will head back to Switzerland.

I had my midsummer adventure a little bit in advance far out in the Stockholm archipelago in the most perfect weather. Mostly, I enjoyed the bright sun, then and then a little haze […]Read Post ›
Impressionism in capercaillie forest
Around April 20 is the time to sleep in the forest to be able to witness the capercaillie lek. The cocks start to display already at 04:00 when it´s nearly dark, and the only thing you can see is their white wing knuckles. Later when the sun rise the display may be over if no hens […]Read Post ›
