The big Hungarian Puszta

Description

Inspiration: A friend of mine had to talk about national parks in an exam and she was asked about what she saw in the Puszta. She said she saw nothing! She looked around and did see nothing, just the plain. :XD:

About the Puszta:
The word Puszta means 'waste', 'pure', 'desert', 'mere', 'sheer', etc.
Basically it's 'The' Hungarian cultural landscape of a vast area of plains.
There are a lot of rare animals and plants, whirlwinds, typical draw wells, just a few trees but lots of traditions, and in summertime Fata Morgana. The dog is a puli! ^^
You can also find a stork, egret, crane, Hungarian grey cattle, black stork, wild geese, long-wooled raczka sheep with spiral horns, (stud) horses, eagle, fox, buffalo in the pic.
The bridge with the nine holes is located in Hortobágy. :heart:
Gulyás is a job: the herdsman, so we could say that a gulyás is a Hungarian cowboy. :XD: (No, we don't say that. The csikós is the one that rides the horse.) He cooks the gulyás(leves), which is a soup, can be found in the pic too. Paprika is nice. :hungry:
In the background you can see the Puszta Five, it's a show for tourists. There is also a Puszta Eight/Ten show, yes, with more horses, but I got fed up with drawing so many horses! =P (And Puszta 16, fuckyeah!) Don't worry about the bullwhip, it's not used on the horses, only to chink loudly. (I also know how to do it, yaaay! Sunglasses are good )
Puszta-Romantic is one of the oldest clichés about Hungary.
What else... ah yes, Italian hunters illegally hunt songbirds (!) here. :shakefist: Kurvaélet! Eat chicken or pizza, not tits!

Personal:
This is my tribute to my beloved Puszta, which is of course not a big nothing but a gem :love:. My family has been living in this part of the country for many generations now, and I also inherited some typical puszta-folks features. I have relatives living in Hortobágy. Alas, I can't perform the Puszta Five, but... uhm... I can chink with the bullwhip and can't live without paprika. ^^;

Technical:
I didn't use a tablet! Only mouse and MS Paint. My wrist is crying. :(

Thanks for reading this very long description!Clear Adoration Greetingsz from the (edge of the) Puszta!
