@Blake- Truly intelligent humans realise that they cannot do without the whole ecosystem with all its plants and animals, that not having respect for those animals is ultimately destroying us humans as well, therefore that humans are not all that more worth than plants and animals and that it is us humans who can both destroy and save the world, but that as we speak, we humans are rapidly utterly ruining our planet.
So I pity you for your utter ignorance in that you cannot think of this, that you are not able to rise above ordinary dirt-throwing and I hope you'll come to sence before you choke in your vomit. :-)

I'm terribly sorry Ted and Blake, but I'm -I guess you would call us a "treehugger"?- that believes that any life has equal value if only because we're all part of this earth and/or this creation. I believe that every lifeform deserves an equal amount of respect. I am convinced that we humans have the responsability to care for the wellbeing of the lives of all the other animals, especially when it is our technology that puts those animals in danger. In my view we humans have that responsability because we have the brains to do so and because we have brought that life-endangering technology in this world in such a way that most of the other animals cannot cope anymore.

So speaking from that standpoint- I think I have a rather strong point when I doubt it is me who is missing the appropriate intellect, Blake...

"I would have felt sad for that beaver, if I saw it had been hit, but beavers aren’t exactly endangered, and they’re not worth risking your life over."

Wow Ted- I'll remember that line of reasoning next time I see a human in deadly trouble...! In fact that makes lots of emergency-services quite obsolete and not worth funding...!

....? ...Perhaps I miss something here...

To me, these pictures give an impression how somehow time is not lineair- What has happened- in a sence still is happening while the present is unfolding. Like if in some way you still could see, hear, feel the echoes of those past times, of the peoples that lived and fought and died there. Indeed- Haunting...

Funny- I live on spitting distance of the Keukenhof.
Regularly I send friends and relatives who visit this country to the Keukenhof because it is so wonderful. I've even delivered people to the gates.

...But in over more than 35 years, I've never ever have been there myself...

-HollywoodBob- "The best thing they could have done was stopped in front of it, in their car, with the hazard signals on, and blasted their horn at it, that might have convinced it to move, or at least protected from the other traffic, until fish and wildlife could be called"

...I'm glad you come up with such a solution after your 1st remark, because my response to that would have been- So what? Is that relatively small beaver even dangerous against you in your fortified position (your car)? Looking at statistics, we humans seldom have the short draw when it comes to who will perish if only because we have more brainpower to overcome the difficulties even of stubborn large aquatic rodents...

I really do not understand what is so funny about 2 people that happily bemuse an animal that is just inches away from being run over by traffic...? Why not just get the animal out of harms way as fast as possible instead of laughing about the whole situation?
