I very much enjoy & appreciate the art and history you present in your posts. I don't often comment, but do read. How do you find such amazing art and pictures?

I am especially enjoying the Hardanger and Norwegian history, as my husband's and my own history are there, only 2 generations back. It is surprising to me how much that history of our families has determined and affected the history of the present generations who have little or no knowledge of their family back then.

Hi KathyB! Thank you so much for a lovely comment...and thank you for following my blog!

Both your families are from Norway..woow! It would be so funny for you to know some more about your relatives - and go to Norway (such a beautiful country). And yes, history matters...more than we think!

You asked me how I find all the images - I spend too much time on the Internet ;O)
