A bit of Danish Summer

1930s Danish summer

As I gaze out my window today it is very grey, cold and soggy. So instead I will gaze into my computer window and dream of far gone summers. Danish ones to be exact, captured by photographer Sven Türck in the 1930s.

It's the fashion that catches my eye, and that care free casual summer holidays can bring. Plenty of fun, be that at the beach, on a bike or giggling amongst flowers.

What power a photographer has when preserving history. There was deep depression, poverty and an impending war, but here, in Türck's world we are whisked off to a Danish idyll that I for one today are happy to loose myself in!

You can see more if his work at The Royal Library, Denmark. I originally stumbled upon them at Miss Moss's blog.
