A Thirsty Cow

On the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range west of Sydney, is some wonderful grazing country! I love the cow having a drink from the dam. I was surprised to see this image is 10 years old, it certainly doesn't seem that long ago!

John...so many layers to look at...the horizon with that beautiful blue sky, the rolling hills, the foreground grass and, of course, the cow is the perfect finishing note! #11390810Marijana Fajgl October 24, 2015

Beautiful John, really like the rolling hills and watering whole. Excellent work. #11390967Ann Coates October 25, 2015
This is gorgeous John. I can't believe you have had this little gem hidden away for ten years. Be interesting to go back and photograph the same landscape and see if it has changed much but I don't think the cow would be around anymore. #11390980Terry Cervi October 25, 2015
A beautiful scenic, John! #11391065Kirsten Kiki Kjaer October 25, 2015
A lone cow? That's unusual. The whole scene is unusually beautiful, John. #11391094Martha R. Mazon October 25, 2015
Absolute perfection, John: soft lines, golden light a pond and the perfectly placed cow having a drink. Excellent. #11391113Candace M. Cleveland October 25, 2015
Absolutely gorgeous John. All the others have said it all.! #11391133Chris Ebben October 25, 2015
I think I can see another cow in the background making it's way over to the drinking hole. What a great view the houses on top of the hills would have. A great find in the archives=^..^= #11391167John Connolly October 25, 2015
