Shortly after this photograph was captured, the peace and calm was broken by .. me ........ running back down the path after waking a sleeping Moose and her baby .. Grumpy ol' cow ! - Guess she didn't like me observing her "Bed Head" and bad morning breath - just like most ladies... Anyway - it was a beautiful scene when it was captured. (Next time I'll dump the tripod - it really slows you down!)
After obtaining permission to shoot a couple of shots at our local "Slaughter Yard", I was startled by a woman running over to me and asking me to stop shooting! - She said that she thought about it and since this is private property, I need to leave. I told her I had permission first, but they thought it over and didn't want to take the chance I was one of those "Vegetarian, Animal Rights activists" that was creeping around just to take pictures and cause trouble.. (Huh?) .. Anyway, before I was kicked out, I got this shot of the catwalk over the "Kill Pens". Thought I'd process it in the way it would have looked in our old Idaho town 75 years earlier.. Call me crazy, but I could actually hear the ghosts of past bovines.
Anyway - 2 examples of paths - One in which we totally dominate the animals, and the other where the animal totally dominated the photographer!
