In the last part of the nineteenth century, the Danish Skagen painters got their inspiration from the light and the seas of Skagen, the most Northern part of Denmark. On a windy and cloudy morning, I walked along the beaches where they found many of their motives.
Each summer, we have lots of classical chamber music festivals, and one of them takes place each August in Kerteminde on the island of Funen.
