No, it's not late. This photo was taken in the afternoon, but in October
the sun is so low that the golden rays hardly make it to the bottom
of the valley at all. In spite of the beauty; the snow on the peaks
is a reminder of what nature has in store for us. |

King Winter beat us back to Skorgedalen by about three hours; looking
out the kitchen window at the first snow of the season. |

Bad weather makes room for indoor fun. This is Robin making fire with
firesteel and flint. A slice of Fomes fomentarius treated with
lye and dried, is used to catch sparks and serve as tinder. |

We have been keen bird-watchers for years, and this autumn we had
a go at bat-watching. Robin is operating a bat detector, a gadget that
turns sounds inaudible to our ears into sounds we can hear. Quite interesting
standing there listening to the calls and target detection sounds of
these small, flying mammals. |
