Description
Because I don't have a talent for painting, I've used the 'water color V' from Topaz Labs Impressionist to give this photograph a painted look and then added a slight texture.
This mix of resources is likely the reason Daniel Freeman chose this site to homestead. The thick, fertile soils of the tallgrass prairie were ideal for farming. Water was provided by Cub Creek, which runs through the property, and the timber along the creek provided fuel and building material. Throughout the 30 homesteaded states, the land and its resources were what drew settlers to their claims. However, as the nation developed, these settlers soon forever altered the very environments that brought them there in the first place. Despite a complex historic relationship, the land and all its plants animals remain an invaluable resource to all people. Step outside to experience the woodland and restored prairie here at Homestead National Monument of America.
