Last Saturday we made a day hike in the Veluwezoom National Park. Founded in 1930, it is the oldest national park of the Netherlands. The landscape consists of forests and heathland that is kept open by grazing of Highland cattle.
And it was Highland cattle that inspired Amsterdam artist Jantien Mook to create this bronze sculpture, placed here in 2013. It is part of a project called '
Ode to the Wilderness'.
This fine sculpture makes me think the Highland Cattle are much like our Texas Longhorn cattle.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe sculpture stands out beautifully!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery creative!
Verwijderen...I have seen a few Highland Cattle here, they are so interesting!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love to see Highland cattle grazing these areas. We have them on some of our nature reserves and I agree with the artist - they always make a place look really wild.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOpvallend maar in dit geval zou ik toch zeggen , less is more. Iets te veel hoorns naar mijn smaak.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGosto bastante desta escultura.

Ja die horens zijn altijd nogal indrukwekkend. Loop er liefst met een boog omheen als ze echt zijn.
