Yes, native prairie is vanishing. Eastern South Dakota had 22.6 million acres of grass-land prairie of which 1.4 million acres is undisturbed and protected as 2016.
Horrible! It's bad enough to have that Dunn picture, Prairie is my Garden on nearly every wall in town, but this sculpture is even worse than the painting!
I saw Sue's comment as I was about to write my own. She has me wondering about the original painting and what is going on with renderings being all around town. A Mystery!
I love the sculpture and sad the prairie is disappearing just like any farmland in our nation is disappearing. I appreciate you comment about the B&W barn only while it is black and white (almost) it was not taken in b&w---that is the natural color. Odd huh. MB
Ho, I really love this sculpture! Very beautyful!
ReplyDeleteIn a vanished prairie it is no more than accommodation that the former inhabitants can only be present as frozen in time.

ReplyDeleteThe sculpture is good TFG but the diminishing prairie land not so much ✨

Oh I meant to add---the prairie was very demanding back in time and the wives and widows paid the price.
