Description

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! #11390810

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. #11390980

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=^..^= #11391167
