Peder Krøyer first visited Skagen at the northernmost point of Denmark
in 1882 and became captivated by the light and the landscape. One of the distinguishing features of his paintings (this is 1908) is that moment when the sky is illuminated by two sources of natural light.

Beautiful!! & NO MUZICK!!!! So truly a feast for tired eyes….
For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.
10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Some of the most gorgeous and interesting nonfiction books I’ve read this year.
First — Bonnie Lander Johnson’s Vanishing Lancscapes: The Story of Plants and How We Lost Them
I’ve never enjoyed a nonfiction book this much. I felt nostalgic for a time I never lived in. The world feels different now
