Now the Snow is Falling …

Posted on by Hanna

It is snowing right now, as it did two years ago.
Maybe it will be as beautiful as in the paintings 🎄
Parts of Denmark have already received large amounts of snow now.

The Danish landscape is dark in winter, and the sun can be a rare guest.
Then it’s wonderful when the snow covers fields and forests, and lights up new spaces and contours in the landscape.
I love it and it makes my walk an adventure ❤️

    • It’s a good choice 😊 I’m having a hard time picking one. The paintings remind me of countless impressions I get by walking.
      – It’s a wonderful occupation – having to choose 🎁🥰

    • Thank you, Alexander!! For barely a day, the snow has fallen quietly. Trees, bushes and scrubs are painted in white. It’s a welcome scenery in December 🎄🌟⛄
      All the best,

  4. Dear Hanna,
    thank you very much for showing these beautiful winter paintings. We have to admit we hadn’t seen none of them before.
    Wishing you a happy weekend

    • Thank you, Klaus. It is a pleasure to learn more about Norway’s geography and culture 🎁
      Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas weekend 🎄
      All the best,

      • Dear Hanna,
        Hanne-Dina is Norwegian.
        I learned a lot of the history of all the Nordic peoples from reading “True North” by Gavin Francis. It’s a book with first class infos about the Viking times and Norway’s role there and about the highest North of Norway. It’s maybe not what you are looking for beause it’s about Shetland, Faroe, Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard and the cultral influence of the Vikings/Norsemen there. Nevertheless, I learned a lot about the Norwegian history of the Middle Ages.
        Wishing you a wonderful pre-Christmas time

      • Thank you for introducing me to Gavin Francis, Klaus. “True North” is now one among many of his books that I want to read.
        Your comment sent me on a virtual trip to the Danish Viking Ship Museum. Here is an abundance of facts from the time when the Vikings made the seas unsafe 😊
        All the best to the Fab Four of Cley!!

    • To be in Norway on Christmas Eve! I know some mountain areas from summer walks. The landscape must be wonderful at Christmas time with snow.
      Thanks a lot!!🎄🌟⛄

    • Thank you, Julie!!
      The beautiful red color on both houses of Frits Thaulow creates a wonderful contrast to the snow. Snow and red buildings fills the eye with pleasure and are lovely opposites 🥰😊
      All the best,
      Hanna

  9. Dear Hanna, the paintings you have chosen, all give the viewer that “cosy” feeling, as if looking out from a warm room where there is a good fire & hot drinks! A little bit romantic? Perhaps that’s just me! Hopefully, you will have some snowy photos to share soon. 🤗🌹🙋‍♂️

    • Thanks a lot for your comment Ashley. I’ve been thinking about your question.
      It’s the good experiences I associate with snow. It is play, light and happiness.
      For a period I skated a lot when the lakes were frozen. In the evening it was really cozy!
      And today to be able to walk through the woods, where the fir trees shines and twinkles like they were at a ball wearing diamond dresses😊 It’s amazing!!
      But there is absolutely nothing wrong with a cozy fire and warm drinks afterwards 😊❤️ And thank you for your wishes, Ashley!!

      • How wonderfully expressed! I love your response! I think I’m just feeling my age and looking back to those cosy winter nights in front of the fire 💓🍷🍷🙋‍♂️

  10. -Such beautiful paintings. The snow will now design your landscape for winter and soon Santa will come….. – Så vackra målningar. Snön kommer nu att designa ditt landskap till vinter och snart kommer tomten…..
