He tells us that the word originally comes from old Frisian (coastal Netherlands) "landschop," mispronounced by Englishmen as "landskep" (shoveled land) and from there to "landskip" and finally (so far) "landscape." Derived from the word describing coastal land reclaimed for agriculture (shoveled) the word came to apply in England to any land shaped for human use. These rude "shelters" we are seeing more and more in wooded landscapes seem to fit that description.

Haha this must stem from the period of Floris V or so in my country then (the Dutch word now is 'landschap'). 'rude "shelters"': nice perspective!, I love etymology, always inspiring.

Many thanks

Beautiful, Lasse!

Tones, composition, light, sense of movement. I can't imagine anything that could make this better than it is now.
