kühe im teufelsmoor - cows in the "teufelsmoor"

After three weeks of holidays in the rain I returned to my home turf - the north of Germany - and was rewarded with a truly hot summer's day which I spent in and around Worpswede. This shot was taken in the evening sun. Thanks to my four-legged models for their leisurely moooooooooooovement.

In English the name "Teufelsmoor" means "Devil's Bog". Worpswede used to be the home of an artists' colony known as "Worpsweder Maler" (Worpswede painters), the most relevant of which (in my opinion) were Paula Modersohn-Becker, her husband Otto Modersohn, Hans am Ende, Fritz Overbeck and Heinrich Vogeler.
