Some photos from this year's midsummer weekend. Only two shots from midsommarafton itself, but all in all a great weekend.
Took the caravan to the coast for some really nice family time here at Ekön. Day two, and we’re loving it.
Update 2026-07-04
I’ve added 7 more photos from the rest of the days. Eva’s parents came and visited us for a day as well.
Had a great week in Kläppen, skiing with my kids.
It’s been (over) a month since I started my "one photo a day for a year" project and I thought it was time to pick some favorites from the last 30 day.
It was very slippery outside, and I missed an ice patch, which caused my daughter, my bike, and me to fall. I broke my wrist and spent the rest of the day at the hospital. Good times!
Today, my oldest brother stopped by with his jack and helped me switch my summer tires for winter ones, as I can no longer manage it myself with my arm in a cast.
June 2025
Some more or less nice views on my bike ride home from my mum's place.
Took the caravan down to the south of Sweden and had a great time with the family in Åhus.
Celebrated Midsummer with friends and family in the countryside where I grew up. The photo is from our walk to my aunt's house, where we had lunch, played games, and danced around the maypole.
Another year and another traditional bike trip to my mum's place right next to Göta Canal.

Teamtailor, my employer, brought the whole team to La Manga del Mar Menor for last year's company trip. Fortunately, it was a lot more fun than the photos show.
Waiting for Tor's football (soccer) practice to finish.
My kids and I visited my brother-in-law, and I took a walk with my youngest in the stroller.
We went on a boat trip to Harstena and on the way back we stopped at Gryt for a swim. The water was a bit cold but really refreshing.
The traditional bicycle trip along the picturesque Göta Canal to my mom's place for a family picnic takes place every year on the Sunday after Midsummer.
Nora was riding in a child seat on my bike and screamed the whole time. She really doesn't like wind in her face, and we had a headwind the entire way there.
Third post from this year's trip to Mallorca.

Went for a walk around Port de Sóller on the work-away trip two of weeks ago.
Went back to Port de Sóller for another workaway trip. We tried to find a different place to stay but ended up at the same place as last time. It's a nice house, so we're not complaining. As last time, we had a great time, got a lot of work done, cooked good food, and enjoyed, as seen in one of the pictures, a lot of Jamón ibérico.
August 2022
Took the caravan and went to Öland with the family and some friends.
In 2019, Teamtailor's yearly trip went to Greece. 🥳
It was time for the yearly trip with Teamtailor. This time, we went to Sicily and had a whole hotel to ourselves. It was very nice but a bit too hot for my taste. I didn't take that many photos, but here are a few.
P.S. Come work with me and join the next trip!
Port de Sóller, Mallorca, Spain, May 15-17 2023.
My workplace, Teamtailor, has a concept called "Workaway," where 4-10 of us, from different offices, go on a trip for a couple of days to get together and work in person. This time we went to Mallorca and stayed in a house in Port de Sóller. We had a great time and got a lot of work done. We also had a lot of fun, ate good food, and enjoyed the sun and the pool.
Fårö, Gotland, 27 July 2019.
Celebrated my mother-in-law's 70th birthday with a week on Gotland. We stayed in a house in the middle of the island, and used our rented mini bus to explore the island. We also took a ferry to Fårö, a small island just off the coast of Gotland.
After three days in the maternity ward, my wonderful wife delivered our third child, a cute little baby named Nora.

Teamtailor, the company I work for, brought all employees to Croatia, to a nice hotel on the Rab island. It was four days filled with great company, nice food and parties.
My pregnant wife Eva rightfully enjoying a late morning in bed.
Went to the west coast and Falkenberg. Had a lovely time there. We went crab fishing, swam in the ocean and ate Sweden's best pizza at Lilla Napoli.
Me and the family took the train to Stockholm over the weekend and brought with us my in-laws. Lots of good food, some museums, friends and the occasional beer.
Spent a summer week in a cottage in Orsa, Sweden. Went to various tourist destinations with the family and celebrated my mother-in-law's 70th birthday.
Went out into the snow and the magical winter landscape. Lit a warming campfire, grilled some sausages, and drank hot chocolate.
Nice foggy morning bike ride a couple of days ago.
We took the in-laws' caravan and headed south. Stopped at some campsites along the way before we arrived in Malmö. Here we are at a caravan campsite that was right by the sea.
Nybrostrand, July 2020
Found some old photos from midsummer 2012. I know I've posted some of these before but i'm more happy with these new edits.
Björkvis brygga, 2012
Visby harbor, Gotland, 16 July 2018.
Celebrated my father-in-law's 70th birthday with a week in Visby. We're going back to Gotland this summer to celebrate my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. This time to a cottage in the middle of the island.
Had no plans for this Saturday, so we packed a bag, a blanket and took our bikes out for a ride. Had a picnic and just enjoyed the really nice weather.
Went to Krakow with work. Drank some beer, played some pinball, drank some vodka, worked, drank some more beer. Had lots of fun.
Went out the the family and some friends to enjoy the nice weather and play in the snow with my son.
Took my family, and my in-laws, out for a day in the sun. Walked the nice and accessible boardwalk and had a very nice summery day.
Went to Spain with Teamtailor in the beginning of September. It was pretty nice. ☀️
Eva and I rented a car (our first summer with driving licenses), filled it with clothes, a tent and some food and then took off on a little road trip down the east coast of Sweden.

Packed Henrik’s car with a tent, beer and firewood and went camping before it got too cold outside.
Finally, the snow decided to show up. It came a couple of days late, it missed christmas. And of course, it’s all gone by now.
Sörby gård and Lärkstugan in the beginning and end of the summer.
Me and Eva got married for nearly two weeks ago. I took Eva's surname and is now called Brusman instead of Forsberg. So I thought that this was a good opportunity to tweak the typography on this site while I changed all occurrences of my previous last name.
Lived i Berlin for half a year but didn't use my camera much at all.
Took a sunday walk with Eva and David and it resulted in four new photos to my serie "from behind".
This is my brother David last December. His band, Skogen Brinner has recently released their debut album. Listen to it on Spotify or Apple music
Went Ice fishing with Eva's family and some friends on the easter holiday.
Two more photos from the trip to Dublin last November.
My grandmother, the best grandma in the whole world turned 95 and celebrated with a party last weekend. xoxo
A very cozy welcome to yesterday's turkey dinner at my sister's house.
Thought I might be able to shoot a bit more again and get inspiration for some nice pictures when I was in Dublin for a couple of weekends ago. But i was a little bit disappointed when i transferred the photographs to my computer. Anyway, here is a photo of Eva on a shopping street in the middle of Dublin.
Took a walk with Eva this grey Sunday. Came to a lake with a empty beach and came home with wet shoes. Looking forward to visit that beach in the summer instead.
Working on a real-time Instagram photo feed for a new SilarApp dashboard. Perfect for an event or a venue who wants to encourage the use of Instagram to increase their reach in social media.
And by the way, I love my kitchen table!
The last days of my summer vacation was spent at my fathers house, out in the countryside. Among other things we took a walk in the forrest to pick some chanterelles. Did not find that much mushrooms but it did not matter because I'm not so fond of it.
I'm in the middle of my four-week summer vacation and it has been awesome so far. Took this photo of Eva a couple of days ago when we were visiting my mother, who lives right next to Göta Kanal.
Took this photograph last year's spring at Roxen outside Linköping while we were out looking for a Geocache.
Anders and Angelina came up from Malmö to celebrate midsummer with me and Eva here in Stockholm. On Midsummer's Eve we went to Björkviks brygga, Värmdö and spent a day on the rocks by the sea. We ate great food and drank ice cold beers, and had a wonderful day together.
Björkvis brygga is a new favorite place in the Stockholm area, a real highlight that I really can recommend a visit.
Spent the weekend in Linköping. PS. it’s only 5 days left until me and Eva are moving to our new apartment!
A night out in July 2011. Emil and my brother David at Bröderna Olsson, Stockholm.
Where in Prague from Sunday to Wednesday. A sort of delayed weekend trip with Eva. I felt like a real tourist with my camera so this is basically the only picture I took that is not on when we drank beer at a random beer garden (the spring had arrived in Prague).
Took the train to Örebro with Eva over a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. Our objective was to see Eva's friend Emilie play her piece. The piece was played in the least inspiring places I've visited in a long time.
At the end of August last year, it was time for the yearly Popaganda festival. Most of it was totally awesome but the absolute best part was the concert with Arcade Fire. Lovely!
The snow is melting and spring is coming so what is not better than one last winter image with lots snow? Took this picture in Gubbängen, Stockholm, January 2007.
This is Eva, my grandma. She's the best! Went to Linköping last weekend to celebrate her 94th birthday but these photos are taken in June 2010 and July 2011.
Spent the weekend with Eva in Malmö, visiting Angelina and Anders. Here's Anders enjoying the winter view when we went to Västra Hamnen.
It has been something between -10° and -20° Celcius cold this last week so I think I have to post at least one more photograph from last summer. And If I had to choose one photograph from last summer, I think I would have choosen this one. Taken in Vällingby, Stockholm while Eva and I where on a bike trip.
Had to post some new photos as a contrast to last post's photos. Theese two are from last summer, when Eva and I spent two relaxing but very hot weeks in Greece.
Finally some snow! Taken last sunday on a walk in the snow with Eva.
I went to 24 Hour Business Camp with Ingemar and Jonny (both colleagues from Mynewsdesk) on October the 30th last year. It took place at the awesome japanese spa Yasuragi. We spent the 24h coding on our project SilarApp, a clean and ambient real time data visualization dashboard. I think we did it quite well, we even won the jury's award. Now we're working hard on our spare time to release the first public version of SilarApp (it's currently in closed beta) and we're really proud of what we have done so far.
This is Svea. One of two cats my ex and I had when we lived together. I miss her (the cat, not the ex) and I have long going plans about getting one or two new kittens. Taken in Bandhagen, Stockholm, 2007.
Taken in the summer of 2011 while I was playing adventure golf in Berg (outside Linköping, Sweden) with Eva and her family.
