Misty Mountain and forest
The mist swept between the trees and mountains while we start the hike up in the fells in Härbergsdalen, Frostviksfjällen.
A light rain pouring down as we walk through the old beautiful forest.
Time to time the mountaintops reveals in the mist.
Steep hike through the damp forest
It was a struggle to climb up through the forest but soon I start to reach above the treeline and the mountain gets steeper before I reach flater ground to pitch my tent. I think the clock was around 1:00am.
Tired after all driving and climbing we fall asleep very quick.
In search for a stream and fresh water
I wake up early and go out and search for a stream with fresh water, most of the small stream have dried out. I have to hike pretty long to find a stream and fill my bottle and cooking pot.
Nice morning on the mountains
I wake up to a nice morning up in the mountain, sun shine and a gentle breeze swept over the mountains as we eat our breakfast.
Out exploring
Then I went for a short hike in the surrounding area. The sun plays hide and seek between the clouds.
When I got back to our tent the rain starts, I went back into my tent and wait for better weather.
Hiking further up in the mountains
After a few hour the rain stops and we decide to hike up to a little tarn higher up in the mountains. I pack down the tent and as we start our hike further up in the mountains it was really sunny and the wind picks up a bit.
Finally I reach the tarn and I pitch the tent close to a little tarn with a lovely little stream. The views was gorgeous.
Company along the hike
A Ljungpipare, Pluvialis apricaria, follow us along the hike with the beeping sound.
Foreboding dark clouds
Later in the evening the clouds start to build up really dark and moody and a ray of light strike through the heavy clouds, I hike up on a little mountain to get signal to phone and tell that everything is fine with me. I stay close to the tent and capture some photos. When I get back I boil some water to the dried food as dinner.
Solitude in paradise
Before I got back in to the tent for the night we enjoy our stay up on the mountain, this place was truly a little paradise with a few smal tarn and streams, I got the mountain all by myself, amazing.
Captured on a mountain in a thunderstorm
Just right before I close my eyes a loud thunder make me clear awake and very soon the sky open in a heavy rain and the wind picks up. I where trapped in middle of a thunderstorm high up on the mountains.
I sit up in the middle of the tent and very soon I see a flash light up our tent followed with a load thunder. The ground was shaking and the rain gets even more dense. I hear some more thunder but very thankful no more flashlight. The thunderstorm pass by and when the rain stops we went out of the tent and see the most amazing light and the setting sun above the mountains. We got a nice evening after the scary thunderstorm pass by.
Beautiful lights after the thunderstorm
The thunderstorm pass by and left the most beautiful light.
Felt like a time ago since I capture a sunset photo but this view was so beautiful.
The next day was really nice and I got a really experience in the mountains and long lasting memories.
