Bernhard Jernberg´s 1927 portrait of captain (later major general) Paulus af Uhr of the newly founded Royal Swedish Air Force - here processed and colorized by me - is in the Swedish Digital Museum archive (FMF.002492). Paulus af Uhr was also a prominent athlete. He participated in the Stockholm Olympic games in 1912 and held the Swedish high jump record, 188 cm, in 1914 - 1917.
Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...
