After looking at Vincents paintings of his own boots, and being fascinated by
his habits of walking vast distances, sometimes for days, I felt a deeper admiration for the then,
often-mocked dutch artist.
Walking as a means of travel in times gone by wasn’t such a rarity as it is now.
Captain James Cook was another famous example I can think of who would walk
two hours to work and return, each day.
Puts our modern species to shame me thinks.
