A loooong break.....

After a huge summer break,,the Nordic Culture Spot is about to resume its activities. I must admit that summer isn´t my best time by far, and although i have been regular with the photoblog, it is also true that it don´t require the amount of inspiration and energy necessary for running this blog. Anyway, as the Autumn is just around the corner and the fresh winds of which is my favorite season are starting to be felt again,,i think it is just now the right time as well to take the Nordic spot out of its hibernation. I am preparing by the way, something about one of the must picturesque places in Denmark, that has been source of inspiration for artist since ages (and yes,a favorite destination for those summer tourists looking for a good tannning) that go there looking after its characteristic light and landscapes. I am talking about Skagen. Meanwhile, i am posting this delightful painting by P.S. Krøyer, maybe the painting that has better depicted that athmosphere unique from Skagen.

Wish you all the best!!

this painting is wonderful!

feels so good when we feel
influenced and participants of the seasons and climate ...
life revolves around this.
Unfortunately here in Brazil, we're not feeling well differentiated seasons in their characteristics,only a few years
practically we have four seasons every day... we heat and cool several times in one day!
too complicated for health and psychologically and it's horrible.
Instability is the key word here.
wow, I talked too much ...

Well, I am pleased that we receive new material on the Nordic Culture as peculiar.
Greetings!!

Thanks so much Denise. Don´t worryy, it is ok to express what we feel and why not?? it is even nice to rant some times. And by being critic it is also possible to improve our standards and goals.
And definetively,,,nothing compares to the magic of the seasons =)
