ResumoThis text is a description of Skagen through the eyes of the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg. The landscape is portrayed as bleak and inhospitable yet beautiful. The artist describes the gulls, the howling wind, the vast stretches of sand, the dunes, and the numerous wrecks at Nordstranden. We learn that the locals furnish their houses and even make a living from salvaging wreckage. The crew of a shipwrecked German ship takes shelter at an inn.
