Owl on pole for display.  Never saw the forest and curious after the world. An almost 360 degrees rotating capability of your neck helps. Nevertheless. sitting on your pole whole day long, not really all that exciting I imagine.

Sitting at home watching the rain rain…and a lot of rain rains down these days. I can image that with so much water even fish could drown. When I look at the very few pictures that I made this summer; which in a way also reflects the weather; I instantly want to go back to the easy French countryside. There where your mobile phone won’t work, where everything closes from noon ’till two, where it’s fun to have a walk to a boulangery for a pain…just the field, the cows, sunny weather and lots of nothingness to clear yor mind from everything that slipped in over the course of a year or so…crap, what a rain today.

…the beef. Did you ever wondered why cows follow you when you pass a field filled with them? Why do they all come to the fence when you stop at the fence? They sniff, they look, they want to come closer yet you scare the h*ll out of them when you blink. It’s not so difficult to make a photo like this one and I think that most of the hikers among us have such a picture in their archives. Yet, the image appeals to me (not because of the beef involved). Something about mutual curiosity I suppose; framed and frozen. I wonder if they are still in that field now…
