No Indian Summer that year in the Jämtland mountains. Weather ranged from gusty to stormy, with horizontal blizzard-like snowfall sweeping the mountainsides, still clad in autumn colors. Now and then came surprising lulls and sunny breaks, most of the time the photo-outings were a challenge. My walks were short, hands stiff and wet, the equipment in danger. My camera is weather-proofed, the telezoom - a cheap one - is not. And a single snowflake on your lens can spoil all your efforts. On one occasion I had to use the car as shelter, turning it in a direction where I could open the leeward side window for some shots. On the whole: a refreshing experience, after a summer with long stretches of unbearable and unnerving heat.
