Dear AG,
When I saw the photo given by Shaka, it reminded me of an alpine landscape in my home country with alpine huts, pasturing cows, marmots.

You surprised me once again. An idyllic scene by the river, a man digging for gold while his wife just might be calling for meal, two children watching from the cabin window, a grazing mule. Nothing points to the tragedy that the gold rush has caused and which has cost indigenous people their homes and all too often also their lives. Thanks for the many sources where you can learn more about this history period.

Glad to have you back in the game. Your entries greatly enrich this challenge.

All the best and warmest regards,
Anna
