  • A story about about wildlife photography and friendship in the outskirts of a modern world.
    When I visited Sweden to photograph eagles, I had no idea I'd find my passion for red squirrels, a career as a wildlife photographer and a best friend 40 years old than me.

    March, 2024, since finding this channel, catching up on several of your videos a day and this one I think must go back towards the beginning of what has become an incredible journey. Northern Sweden is so beautiful, the cliche of "Winter Wonderland". The resident creatures beautiful, and the photography beautiful. I think it is wonderful to be able to have such a dream and make a career following that dream, and helping the creatures we share this planet with as well. Hope you are successful in saving Squirrel Wood".

    I has seen 2 of Your videos, this one and that of three 4 young squirrels, I love both, the nature the animals, and the tranquillity of You, the nature and of Conny. As a Swede my self, from the southern parts, It is always a joy to see these great areas of forest, without interupption from human activity, I will start to subscribe on Your channel. THANK YOU!

    What a great video Dani! Real friendships are not bound together by age but by a common interest. The more experienced friend is a library with open doors to the other friend. When time runs out for the library, the doors will close for ever. My best friend is 45 years younger than me & most people just don't get it but that's their problem.

    Thank you Dani. Och tack Conny! I grew up in Stockholm, then Göteborg, then UK where I have stayed. The Sweden you talk about is the wild Sweden i really miss. Your photography is photography at its best, ie when photography itself comes a distant second after the subject of nature and the experience of being immersed in it. Beautiful and inspiring.

    After watching another video here, (breaking my heart) the current trend to kill adult Otters, steal the babies, and the flourishing market to sell them as 'pets', (wrong!! doesn't even cover it, words just can't) .... your video's are mending my heart. This is exactly how we should respect wildlife, and interact with them, as the Red's did with you guys, by choice, patience and love. Thank you. I subscribed to you Dani, can't wait to see more of your work.

    Nice to hear the Swedish language! I understand most of it. Being Danish helps because the languages are extremely similar. The funny thing is that most Danes only understand about 22% of spoken Swedish, and Swedes only understand about 11% of spoken Danish, so when we interact we tend to resort to English. The reason I understand more is because I've sung a lot of Swedish songs, by Bellman, Wennerberg, Sjöberg, Adolphson and others.
    I've seen a Kongeørn only once: 6 April 2017. Unfortunately I was at work and had no time to photograph it.

    I am so happy for you to be able to experience this wonderful experience. The two of you with a vast difference in age, yet able to learn and share.
    I’m 71y.o., lucky to experience lots, however in the last year discovered wildlife photograph, now my life has slowed, when I hike it is no longer a quest to get from point a to b, now it’s a journey to discover and appreciate as much as I can along the way.
    Nature is a tough survival for every plant and animal, each is only trying to survive and reproduce.
