A collection of wonderful Skagen paintings.The Skagen painters captured the beautiful nature, shimmering colours and special Nordic Skagen light in beautiful and romantic paintings that often showed ordinary people, such as fishermen, going about their daily tasks.
The Skagen paintings are forever part of the soul of Skagen. They were painted with much love for the people and nature in Skagen, which gives them a special beauty and character all their own.
The music with much Nordic romanticism was composed by Lars-Erik Larsson:
God in Disguise, The Disguised God, Förklädd Gud Op. 24: Prelude
Folk Song Night, Folkvisenätter, for string orchestra
Pastoral Suite Romance, Pastoralsvit

CHRONIC TRAMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY: “For Ravens’ John Urschel, Playing in the N.F.L. No Longer Adds Up” ☮
One of the N.F.L.’s smartest players did the math and decided to retire after just three years in the league.
John Urschel, an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens who received much publicity for his off-season pursuit of a doctorate in math at M.I.T., told the team on Thursday that he was hanging up his cleats at 26.
Urschel’s agent, Jim Ivler, said Urschel was overwhelmed with interview requests but would not be speaking to the news media. On Twitter, Urschel wrote that “there is no big story here” and that the decision to retire was not an easy one to make, but “it was the right one for me.”
He added that he planned to return to school full time in the fall, “to take courses that are only offered in the fall semester” and spend time with his fiancée, who is expecting their first child in December.
Urschel’s decision came two days after the release of a study in which all but one of 111 brains of former N.F.L. players showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated hits to the head.

Trauma silences its victims, says creative arts therapist Melissa Walker, but art can help those suffering from the psychological wounds of war begin to open up and heal. In this inspiring talk, Walker describes how mask-making, in particular, allows afflicted servicemen and women reveal what haunts them — and, finally, start to let it go.
