Never mind telling me to get out of the way because you're trying to photograph a sunset - where's my other leg gone?
This photo was taken from Back Lane, near Hartshead Pike, with Winter Hill, more than 20 miles away, visible in the distance.
Sky Watch is the regular Friday feature on this photo blog. It will link with websites all over the world with the general theme each week of looking upwards. Please take the opportunity to visit some of these other sites. I hope some new visitors have found their way here today, watching the skies!

Ohhh so nice :-))
ReplyDeleteSuperb shot - I'm glad the cow didn't get out of the way.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous shot! I'm with Bim, glad the cow stayed right where he is! -- by the way, what did happen to his other leg :)!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha. That's SOME sunset blocker.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot! reminds me of the big bull sculptures by the roads in southern Spain. And what a fabulous sunset!

ReplyDelete"OK, but don't mooove."
This really is a stunner. The missing leg just adds a surreal touch to an already tremendous image.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, how did you get him to stand just there?
ReplyDeleteWow, that cow is almost all white with a few patches of black! Reminds me of the Gateway computer box.
ReplyDeleteYou might well ask how I got him to stand still, Paul! To get him as a silhouette against the sky I had to crouch down, and every time I crouched down he walked towards me to investigate! I had to keep walking away and coming back when he'd lost interest!
ReplyDeleteInteresing where you have centered the sun, or is it a reflection? Nice three legged steer, is that a new breed?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant sunset.

ReplyDeleteMooooo! Fantastic placement too! Gorgeous, and fun!
ReplyDeletethe color of the sky is simply beautiful...like the shades of purple mixed in.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day.
I love bovine sunsets! Cows and sunsets go well together! I wish you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice capture of the cow's silhouette. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe missing leg was my dinner tonight. Great photo
