Scandinavian

This color red is very common in sweden, especially in the countryside. The color is called
falun red. Falun is the center of
the Swedish province of Dalecarlia (Dallarna in Swedish). Historically Sweden was a center of iron mining and paint was made with iron oxide, which gave it that red color.

Yes, I agree with you that the scenery in Eu is really different from other parts of the world. By the way, I love the house, too. Even it looked like a garage near the river. (GC)
