Today is a cold rainy day in August. In fact, it could easily have been a day in November.
I was looking through my own pictures to match the light of Joaquín Sorolla’s wonderful paintings.
But I decided to deviate, with this summer image back in June 2015, where people were wearing overcoats.
Just like today 😀

HANNA'S WALK 
I have to admit that a cool day sounds very enticing during a period of heat and drought in our region!
I agree with that, Tanja. The possibility of finding coolness on hot summer days is completely essential and vital. I feel comfortable at temperatures below 25 C 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
Excellent, and thank you for the introduction to Sorolla, I love these sun-drenched paintings!
Good to hear from you, Roger!
One can almost feel the heat from the sun, and hear the children’s laughter 🙂
Yes, these paintings are wonderful .
All the best,
Hanna
Love the paintings by Joaquín Sorolla! Thank you for sharing them 🙂
Hi there, Indah! Great to hear from you. The seascape never fail to impress. Love the light and colours in the paintings 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
Dear Hanna,
thanks for showing us these pictures full of sunlight. We had never seen a Sorolla picture before.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend

Hi Klaus. I think the paintings were worth showing.
It’s nice to remember the summer on a cold rainy day 🙂
Wish the 4 of you a lovely Sunday 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
Hi Hanna,
we are just doing a quite a big bookfair for our village. It’s a busy weekend right now. But it’s fun, we like selling books.
Wishing you a great Sunday too

Such beautiful paintings. Even though they’re over a century old, still feels somewhat contemporary.
Hi Ab. It is as if time ceases to exist by the sea.
As if the sea is the host and we are guests.
The sea determines the agenda 🙂
All the best,
Hanna
Oh, it makes me sad when August feels like November. There is plenty of time for that melancholy weather.
Thank you for that lovely remark.!! Actually it could have been Christmas too 😊
After some very cold days with heavy rain the weather seems to be turning towards a little more sun and heat. Sun and wind will be nice 😊
All the best,
Hanna
Oh good. Enjoy the last days of summer.
I’ll do my very best 🙂
Do enjoy those fabulous adventures of yours too!!
