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 ...
This first September 2020 evening offered this view over to Kronborg
castle on the Danish side of Öresund.
The winter of 1871 was cold in Denmark. These seven Danish schooners and galeases were stuck in the ice off Aarhus in January that winter. My colorization of an image in the M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark archive. The museum gives the names of four of the ships: The galeas Sophie, the 2-masted schooner Thales, the galeas Elisabeth and the 2-masted schooner Kirstine, all from Aarhus.
Portrait of a lady by Oslo photographer Gustav Borgen (1865 - 1922). My colorization of an image in the Norsk Folkemuseum archive. The photo is not dated, but I think Borgen shot it ab. 1905 - 1910. Other suggestions are welcome.
Ready for the garden party. Norwegian photographer Gustav Borgen´s (ab.) 1900 photo of Mr. and Mrs. Lundh. My colorization of the original in the Norsk Folkemuseum archive.
