Landscapes of 19th century.

Challenge #3 in the The Golden Ages series. Hosted by Sonylover1.

Challenge has finished

In just 200 years mankind have succeded in transforming our world to a urbanized and unnatural world. All of the great landscape painters of the 18th or 19th century had the opportunity to create an image of total unspoilt nature - just a few mile outside the city. Nowadays it is hard to find spots or views where you think "time has stopped". Try to show us your interpretation of an unspoilt rural landscape. Let us think we are 200 years back in time.
