The blog is now active again.

For a couple of years i switched to a website containing my images, but i have decided that the blog is more easy to use, and has that nice touch of like reading a book or a magazine, with articles and stories about events and not only for posting images. Thus, i am posting everything here that hasn't been posted during this time.
