The Axlemossen body of water whithin the Änggårdsbergen-Reserve is not really a lake. The Swedish "mosse" could be translated as "bog", "swamp" or maybe even as "pond" or "wetland". All these terms could to some degree be applied to the Axlemossen, especially since it changes character back and forth over the years. At times it seems to dry up and become overgrown, then the vegetation diminishes again and it becomes lake-like. According to experts this is due to a number of different factors, amount of rainfall obviously being one of them.
The small overgrown islets can make interesting subjects for a photographer at different times of the year, but I find them at their best in foggy conditions. So in the absence of more wintry scenery I did not hesitate to head up to the "lake" when that grey blanket came down, which for some reason has hardly happened this fall. Luckily the drizzle stopped just in time so that handling the camera was no problem.
