Lens flare is usually considered a defect in a camera system, but can nevertheless be used for creative effect. Last week we took a trip to Rafz with the Smallgroup, and we had a great evening playing football and relaxing in the sun. The sunset proved extremely photogenic, so I made sure to put the [...]

Aargh, why did the inventor of the Swedish language have to pick the word “termin” to mean “semester” while “semester” in Swedish means “holiday”? It doesn’t make any sense and just opens the possibility for (albeit very funny) misunderstandings: (“The Swedish student cried out after his final exam before the summer break was finished: “Finally [...]

Was watching some news from back home through SVT Play where the weather report commented on the weather in Europe. “Very intense rainfall, Switzerland got 60mm in the last 24 hours.” Yes, the very fine weather of last week has turned completely upside down. It’s Monday evening here, and except for a few hours today [...]

The programme for the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland was just released. Boy, do I want to go! It just takes a glance at the lineup to see that there will be a crazy amount of music going on there. I’ll have to decide between Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Phil Collins, Roxy [...]

My family (except for Susanna) came over for the Easter holiday that was two weeks ago. A relaxing holiday in midst of a burdening semester. I got some well-needed peace of mind. 54831 First a few days in Zürich. Above: The Lindenhof hill. For once Zürich showed its sunny side instead of fog and overcast. [...]

When the Frenchmen had left, I went for a photographic tour around the country. In four days I wanted to visit as many of the 26 cantons as possible, finally exploring Switzerland on my own. I’m a sunset junkie, just because the light during that “golden hour” just before and “blue hour” just after the [...]

I didn’t stay in Zürich long after I came back from St. Moritz. I have been taking part in an Alpha course this semester, and we went on a weekend in Davos, Graubünden together. Davos, a small city and the most elevated one in Europe is an interesting place with unproportionally many shops for just [...]

You want to know what’s great about Zürich? I’ll tell you what. Last week I went to school, unsuspecting about the coming adventures. Talking to some friends during lunchtime I heard that they were planning a ski trip. The same evening I, two other Swedes, one Norwegian and two Dutchmen boarded the train that would [...]

Since I had a day-pass for the whole Canton of Zürich I was free to take any train, bus or boat I wanted. The Sihl valley was a place I had not seen, so I took the S4 tram as far as possible and ended up in Sihlwald, a forest just beside the river. I [...]

Last week Martin and I took a photo trip to Engelberg, a remote village in the Swiss Canton of Obwalden known for its winter skiing. October is off-season, but we still saw people carrying snowboards and skiing gear in the village. Like this photo? Leave a comment! 53947
