Sense of Scandinavia

I found this beautiful blogpost on frame.bloglovin.com

and I need to share it with you. I´m a Norwegian myself but I been living in Sweden for 8 years now and I miss Norwegian nature every day! 

So enjoy these fantastic words about "sence of scandinavia" by Desiree from Vosgesparis :

Skandinavisk asked me what is the 'Sense of Scandinavia' for you? I haven't seen all of Scandinavia yet! Finland is still on my wish list, I have not seen the Northern light yet and it would be a dream to have a trip through the woods when covered in snow! 

I have been to Copenhagen a few times, a city I thought felt similar to my own city. The food was great, like in most parts of Scandinavia and the sun was shining, which makes every city more friendly, we in Amsterdam tend to be really happy with the first sunshine in Spring and I guess people in Copenhagen react quite similar to this.

In Stockholm I experienced a different sensation of cold I had never felt before, I still remember the cold suddenly manifesting itself in the afternoon after five o'clock. But probably the moment I really experienced the 'Sense of Scandinavia' was when visiting Norway a few months ago. The beautiful nature, the Fjords, the trees and the fresh air are still on my mind when thinking back on this Fjord trip, definitely something I think you should experience too.

Over the last two years I have been working close with Skandinavisk the Danish scented candle brand we designed KOTO with. Each candle that is released has an amazing name, referring to the best Scandinavian has to offer. In the video below Skandinavisk shows what it is they get inspiration from and they think is the Sense of Scandinavia

Blue blue blue .. and blue !

Blue Mood for me this week !!  This is a collection from my Vintageshop at the farm

I just joined a workshop on the internet to learn more about photography and editing aids. I have just begun to peep on photoshop so I'm completely green there really. But with help from www.christinagreve.com photoworshop I have now made my first collage in just photoshop. So much fun!!  But this is going to take time for it is incredibly much technique to be learned. But I'm so inspired and are really looking forward to the next six weeks with Christina and the other like-minded participants

The Great Barn

«I wanted to create a kind of fairy-tale world where people could escape the bustle of Amsterdam; a place to totally recharge, says  the Dutch actress Alwien Tulner of her idyllic setup in the Dutch province of Utrecht

The cowshed, which Alwien has renamed «The Barn» is now a cozy bed-and-breakfast retreat and an intimate location for dinners, parties and workshops.

Easy Sunday

It's been a pretty busy weekend but it ended happily with a quiet Sunday with my biggest favorite tool in hand. My beloved Nikon D5200. I just bought myself a new lens, Nikon 50mm 1.4, so this is the first test shots with it!

It requires that you use a tripod for the images to be optimal.

We are in full activity with B & B here on the farm and in addition to the horses, it is not much time left for photography and exploration. But I "steal" as much time as possible to learn how to take better pictures.

If you are like me and are willing to learn online, then www.skillshare.com  is a fantastic website where you can learn almost anything. Check it out!

But spring is just in it´s beginning, and the days are getting longer and longer, and then it becomes also more time for lifestyle photography 

And the sun shines in Starby today!

Have a great week guys !
