It is very cold, the sky is clear and the meadows are frozen. The ideal conditions under which a Nordic sunset shows itself in all its splendor.

The light along the long coastlines of Nordic countries is special: clean air, bright sunshine interspersed with wind-driven clouds and rugged coastline. This light has inspired many artists, especially impressionists from more southern European countries loved to come to the Danish and Norwegian coasts.

Sunset above the fields near the town of Amtoft, on the borders of the Limfjord, Denmark.

The photo was made January 2013, it has been the coldest winter we have experienced in Denmark with temperatures of -18 degrees Celsius (-0.4 Fahrenheit). The Limfjord, a sizable body of water, was largely frozen over. It hasn't been that cold in this part of Denmark since that year....

ALL WE NEED IS LESS CONSUMING

Through my artworks I ask you to reflect for a moment on the nature around you, on the beautiful feeling that nature can evoke. Thus to think about your actions to support the wellbeing of the earth and everything that lives on it. And on what humanity loses when many of us continue on the destructive path of ever more greed and consuming. And please, reflect on how you can survive in this rapidly changing world…
