>View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm, commonly known as The Oxbow, is a seminal landscape painting by Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School. The painting depicts a Romantic panorama of the Connecticut River Valley just after a thunderstorm. It has been interpreted as a confrontation between wilderness and civilization

Wilderness is valuable because it can make us truly feel and know in our bones our own insignificance.

Sorry bud but our society has decided that breeding niggers, fags, trannies and roasties is the way to enlightment. Fuck your racist caring about nature like literally just look at a picture if you get sad whiteboi

Yeah, no. Looks about as wild today, we just traded farmland for some buildings. Also, check the hebrew letters on the hillside.

anon could you please do /out/ a solid and try and take a photo of where this painting takes place? I was thinking of doing it if I ever ended up at the oxbow. I think its one of the defining nature paintings considering Cole contrasts the epic wild with the contained civ.

The great planes actually has been massively reduced by farmland. Around 5% of the original grasslands in the U.S. remain. Grassland ecosystems throught the world are one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet.

There is no such place. Even places humans claim are untouched or think are are not. The Great Smokey Mountains, for example, have been almost entirely clearcut before the carnage stopped. People still claim they're "virgin". They're not. Same with the Amazon Rainforest. You have to start going to deep ocean vents and shit before you find something untouched by humans, assuming you don't find any garbage there, which you might (it happens).

I remember many years ago a video of one of those deep see submersibles and they randomly encountered a Nike sneaker. You could literally hear the scientists dying inside.
