LOL you made my day. As a photographer there is nothing I want to look at in that photo. it is dismissible. Seeing anyone roll down the hill would have been great. I don’t even want to know what is on the other side of the hill and I have a thing like that about hills and mountains. In fact Albert Bierstadt is my desktop artist. Now in his paintings I can get lost.

Thanks for the tip. Now I know a little about Mr. Albert Bierstadt and the Rocky Mountain School of Luminism. Even Bierstadt couldn’t make a living solely based on being a painter except for a few years. He was also a teacher. Of course this was shortly before the Civil War, and who knows how the economy was back then if you weren’t part of a big farming family.
