I've been helping my oldest son get his boat out for the season. It's been an absolutely fantastic autumn day here. 😍

A couple of weeks ago, we had to say goodbye to our oldest dog. 💔 Yesterday, our other dog needed emergency surgery after developing a severe uterine infection. Thankfully, everything went well and she came home last night. So grateful to still have her with us. ❤️🐾

Today we’re out on a lovely little trip to Fäberget in the High Coast area of Sweden. It’s about 80 km from where we live. Our friends brought lunch with them, so we got to make our own wraps and enjoy lunch out in nature. 🌯🌲 Here are a few pictures from the day! 📸

I’ve received some very sad news. Our oldest dog, Maggan, who is 13 years old, has been diagnosed with cancer in her upper jaw. Unfortunately, it is inoperable, and as she seems to be suffering quite a lot, we have made the difficult decision to let her go peacefully. My favorite dog. ❤️

Today's lunch consists of flatbread sandwich with smoked Arctic char, and a flatbread sandwich with smoked reindeer meat. And a good beer! Absolutely delicious, enjoyed with a wonderful view.

Stekenjokk never disappoints! 🏔️ What a beautiful day up here in the Swedish mountains. Sunshine, clear blue skies, temperatures of at least 16°C and only a light breeze. Perfect conditions for hiking and enjoying the incredible scenery.

My wife and I go to the Swedish mountains every year at the end of August. At this time of year, there are no mosquitoes, hardly any annoying flies, and not too many tourists either. This year, we're lucky with the weather — sunshine, no rain, and hardly any wind. 🏔️☀️😊

Visiting my daughter and her boyfriend, who turns 25 today! 🥳 My daughter had made an absolutely delicious Swedish Princess Cake. Apparently, there’s some kind of viral trend around Swedish Princess Cake going on right now. 🙂 Here are a couple of pics.

Earlier today we had a powerful thunderstorm, and once it passed, the sky above my house turned incredibly dramatic. I’m sharing a couple of photos—see for yourself. #thunderstorm #stormclouds #dramaticsky #weather #nature #skyphotography #cloudscape #nordicsky #sweden #weatherphotography

Sorry...I've to take another beer this evening. This time one of my absolute favorites 😍 A Westvleteren 12. This is a really complex beer. I've to go back to work tomorrow for another week before I get my next two weeks of summervacation 😊 So...another beer works just fine 😍 Cheers! #beer

At last, summer has arrived in my home region. Sharing a few photos from my backyard — with those bright Nordic summer nights and the beautiful, peaceful nature that makes this time of year so special. This is what I've been longing for during the dark winter days.

White and beautiful with all the snow, but completely lacking in color. I miss the colors at this time of year. Both photos were taken in color, and the picture of the house is just to show that there actually are some colors too. Wishing you all a wonderful new week and a happy Monday! #backyard

One of the reasons I'm not a big fan of winter is that almost all the colors disappear. It’s like living in a black-and-white world. That’s why I long so much for spring, when all the colors return. All pics ARE with color. Happy Saturday to you all!

When you live at northern latitudes — like me, at latitude 63 — it gets really dark this time of year. That’s why the winter solstice is such a big deal: it’s the turning point when the days finally start getting longer again. The image shows how many days are left right now. 😀

Last night we had some amazing northern lights! 🌌 Even with the almost full moon, they were still easy to see — and absolutely beautiful. There’s just something special about watching the aurora move across the sky.
