The #beavers are back in my hometown, after being considered extinct here for almost 200 years. The last beaver on the Lippe river was killed here in 1826. Then, from 2010 onward, the first sightings of beavers here on the Lippe river in #Westphalia #NRW #Germany occurred again.
That S-curve river pulls straight to the horizon, dark trees on the left grounding the glare in Bierstadt's sky. A small boat with two figures rests at the bank, a farmhouse tucked among the trees. Westphalia, Albert Bierstadt - fine art reproduction available. #art #AlbertBierstadt #Westphalia ...
