It was an outstanding walk in June along the Swedish coast of Halland with good friends. Now I’m going to visit that coast again in August – September to enjoy the flowering heather. Just like Johan Frederik Krouthen did, a Swedish photographer and painter, when he caught the seascape so beautifully with his paintbrush.
Below you’ll find the lovely oil painting: Scene from Halland North Coast, by the Swedish photographer and painter Johan Frederik Krouthen. Birth and death: 2. November 1858 – 19. December 1932. commons.wikimedia.
Welcome March, Welcome Spring! In the past, you brought very little rain with you. I’ll put my faith in you ❤ – after 6 months of monsoon and dear Jet Streams, don’t be so stubborn, please 🥴
A happy picture from a spring when the sun was shining.
Peter Lieps Hus is steeped in tradition in the Deer Park north of Copenhagen.
I found wonderful paintings on wikimedia from two Danish painters: Paul Gustav Fischer and C.M. Soya – Jensen.
What a joyous time to look forward to, spring and summer ❤

Møns Klint is an outstanding place. It’s beautiful, dramatic and not without danger. Weather changes are guilty of many landslides over the years.
Some of the latest landslides:
Sommerspiret, disappeared in 1988.
In 1994, a part of Dronningestolen slipped down to the sea. A French tourist was killed.
A huge landslide happened in 2007, when up to 500,000 cubic meters of chalk, clay and soil together with approx. 100 beech trees slipped 300 meters into the Baltic Sea.

Carsten Henrichsen: Summer’s Day at Møn’s Cliff Danish painter. Date of birth/death: 23 September 1824 – 30 April 1897.

“A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail.” ~ Hermann Hesse

To be warmed by sunshine these days, you have to be faster than lightning. We have been lucky a few times. I even discovered a little park with a stunning view, flowers and shark fishing 🙂
A person should go out on the water on a fine day to a small distance from a beautiful coast, if he would see Nature really smile. Never does she look so delightful, as when the sun is brightly reflected by the water, while the waves are gently rippling, and the prospect receives life and animation from the glancing transit of an occasional row-boat, and the quieter motion of a few small vessels. But the land must be well in sight; not only for its own sake, but because the immensity and awfulness of a mere sea-view would ill accord with the other parts of the glittering and joyous scene.
