According to Guangzhou's city legend, the region the city was created on was traditionally resource poor land, and despite the hard work of locals they could barely produce enough food for subsidence. Then one day during the Eastern Wu Period (~200ADE), Governor Teng Xiu stated that five immortals (also called fairies) descended from the sky riding on five rams of different colors, each bearing one of the five grains (soybeans (豆), wheat (麦), broomcorn (黍), foxtail millet (稷), and hemp). The immortals gave the grains to starving locals (or the governor), and soon Guanzhou began to thrive. An alternative version has the immortals introducing rice(稻) to the region, rice being the traditional staple of Southern China as opposed to the older grains more prevalent in the North. Regardless the immortals soon returned to heaven and the rams they rode on turned to stone. There is now an active temple and folk region worshiping the immortals in Guangzhou. To this day Guangzhou is nicknamed the City of Rams and they are seen as a symbol of good luck.
Honestly being located on the Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou was likely one of the most fertile places in China, the legend notwithstanding. Rams/Goats are likewise quite traditional symbols of fertility.
At the very top of Yuexiu Hill is a statue to the five rams created in 1960 out of 130 pieces of granite. It is one of the most popular tourist spots in the city.

A very well endowed ram.
Here are a few pics from the annual ram assessment competition held in Strandir where farmers and laymen alike compete in assessing the breedability of rams (the people get awards from correct assessment by a specific standard, the rams themselves are not competing).

While in Yellowstone, I did manage to spot and shoot some Bighorn Sheep, near the north entrance. I was disapointed that there was only ewes and young(no rams), but wow did they draw a crowd of photographers. Imagine my surprise, while driving through a canyon in South Dakota, when a group of seven rams crossed right in front of my vehicle. They were nice enough the feed and hang out long enough for a few pics.

The Adventures of Ram Ram
OK, so I got a bit carried away at the Artisan Market, and ended up haggling with the artist over a wall mask and getting a deal I could not refuse (although David would disagree). This is how Ram Ram (a name I gave this creature) came to be adopted by the Howards.
It wasn't until we got him back to the room that I realised quite how big he was, and that he wasn't going to fit inside our checked in luggage. Oops.
The guys on the hotel reception kindly let us have some newspapers and cellotape to wrap him in, but it soon became apparent that he needed more, especially if he was to travel in the cargo hold of the plane.
Jackie, from our local agent Voyages Lumiere, came to the rescue. Less than an hour after texting her and asking how I could get hold of some bubble wrap, a driver turned up at our hotel with a huge roll of it. What a star she is!
Duly wrapped, we approached the check in staff at Delta Airlines in Port au Prince, who insisted he had to be checked in, but it was going to cost us $108. Not at all happy about that, I not-so-gently persuaded them to allow him to travel as carry-on, and we continued through the security into the departure lounge without much further fuss.
On the flight from Port au Prince, Haiti, to Atlanta, US, Ram Ram travelled in the cupboard allocated for coats in First Class. The staff loved him.
The next hurdle – and the biggest one as far as we were concerned – was US customs. After going through the X-ray, the security officer asked what it was, and proceeded to undress the carefully wrapped Ram Ram. Satisfied that he posed no risk to Homeland security, Ram Ram was yet again re-dressed and even received some additional accessories in the form of an approved 'INSPECTED' tape around his nose (horn).
Virgin Airlines from Atlanta to Heathrow were just as accommodating, and the crew just as amused, by our peculiar looking package. Yet again Ram Ram travelled in style in the First Class coat rack.
Back on UK soil all three of us sailed through customs without a second glance, and we soon found ourselves on the Heathrow Express train; while on the Hotel Hoppa Ram Ram travelled on the luggage rack.
Back home, we carefully undressed Ram Ram, who easily survived the journey in one piece.
He was accompanied on his adventure by a couple of friends from Haiti and has now moved into his forever-home and made a lot of new friends.
And they all lived happily ever after.

I love taking wildlife photos more than about anything. If they were all as nice subjects as these rams were it would be an easy thing to do everyday, but it is hard to find such willing subjects.
This ram and his friends were in summer coats and they were so beautiful.
