Skrymta is once again asking me difficult questions. This time his question is: what picture represents the nordic for you? He chickened out himself and ended up describing his mental picture of the nordic in words, so let’s see if I can manage to rise up to the challenge…
For me the Nordic is something cool, quiet, full of light, something made up of clean lines and primary colors, something extremely civilized and mostly decorated in light wood. As the song goes, Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord, Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
And then there is the proverbial dark-red wooden house with white finishings. There is always a flagpole with a national flag nearby.

wow! do you speak Swedish?
Well, I used to be able to speak Swedish. I fear I have forgotten most of it by now… :-/
Hej Ana,
I’m glad you like my photo, it was taken near Borås (did I geotag it?). Speaking of the Nordic, I’m still fascinated by the sky up there, it so blue.
Thanks Ana, I can always trust you with a challange even though my pingback and trackback doesn’t seem to work.
And you did both mental and visual.
Hej du!!
I really liked your description of Norden. I totally agree with it, as you most probably know. I would add: peaceful, pure, innocent.
Tack så mycket!!
