Time to Fly

Otto Nielsen was a Danish painter and watercolorist who worked as an illustrator for books, magazines and posters.

From 1954 to 1976 he also produced a series of beautiful travel posters and calendars for Scandinavian Airlines System,

a company founded in 1946 with the merge of four Scandinavian companies from Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Its first destination was New York, then Bangkok and Buenos Aires, and in 1954
SAS became the first airline to operate a trans-polar route.

After these long quiet weeks, expect to see lots more picture-based posts during the holidays,
as I plan to upload a good number of themed image galleries that have been sitting in my hard drive
too long. Let's start with some of my (and apparently everyone's) favorite birds!
