ABC Wednesday - J

First of all, this Wednesday you HAVE TO go to Mrs Nebitts Place and make comments according to the changed rules for ABC Wednesday. Mr. Linky is out of function for the time being in this fellowship.

In the beginning I thought the letter J was difficult. May be it had to do with the pronouncement of the letter in Norwegian and or English. However, I managed to find, as far as I can see, acceptable variations although I had to bend the rules (?) a little.
Therefore I start with a German word which in English is an interpretation in French.

J is for Jugendstil (Jugendstil |ˈyoōgəntˌ sh tēl|noun German term for Art Nouveau) as in the Jugendcity Ålesund, Norway.My second photo is from Dublin where my wife after reading and loving Ulysses by James Joyce had to do her Bloomsday walk and meet with the author at North Earl Street.
J is for James Joyce.In Verona, Italy there is a famous place where tourists are going to recall one of the romantic drama by William Shakespeare , Romeo and Juliet. We visited Arena di Verona when seeing the Opera AIDA by Verdi in 2003. The photo is taken before going to see the Opera.
J is for Juliet´s Balcony

My Painting this week is accompanied by 2 YouTube videos.

First a Video clip from the musical Chicago where Mrs. Zeta-Jones performs All that Jazz
and
Second the famous cello player Jacqueline du Pre who has been given the title of the painting.

J is for all that Jazz, zeta-Jones and Jacqueline.

As i said it started difficult, but ends up rather satisfactory.

Since it is still winter around here and also in most of the ABCW blogger´s local areas, I was ready to present photos from January.

However, now it´s time to look ahead, and within a few months we can see the summer months coming. Photos from the apple blossom in June and raspberries at my cottage in July may hopefully help you with the present depression.

J is for June and July.
