Shot on Plus-X black & white film when I was 15 years of age, Union Pacific TR5 No. 1874/1874B pull a cut of hopper cars, departing Provo Yard for Geneva Steel on Jan. 29, 1977.
This isn’t the plains of Africa, it’s actually next to a duel carriageway near Durham. It was taken at Sunrise and I was actually drunk at the time, as I’d just staggered home in the early hours after a night out. This explains why I was in a field with some angry cows with their calves. I eventually had to hurdle the fence after one started running towards me.

The friendly cow all red and white,
I love with all my heart:
She gives me cream with all her might,
To eat with apple-tart.
She wanders lowing here and there,
And yet she cannot stray,
All in the pleasant open air,
The pleasant light of day;
And blown by all the winds that pass,
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.
By Robert Louis Stevenson

This cow was obsessed with this egret. He already chased him off once but that bird is just as stubborn.
I've been to this ranch/park many times. Typically you see no cows or few cows roaming in the gates or freely. You can enter pastures throughout freely through closed gates open to the public. This last time , we decided to go through a section of the ranch with a closed gate. This photo was close to where we entered, as you can see quite a few cows up on a hill. As we continued around the bend over halfway through at the top of the hill to the other side, we were now amongst literally 100s of cows!!! I couldn't take any more photos at this point as panic started to set in lol. . I knew that we were probably safe as these cows are used to people, and there was no sign saying we could not enter, right?.. I've been around cows but never 100s, it's very intimidating!. The cattle started to notice the 3 of us, and my goodness the mooing was so loud it was a sight and sound I'll never forget..., all now turning and looking at us , so many cows, young cows , pregnant massive cows, ...was there a bull??? yup that's when the panic started to set in. luckily the other 2 people I was with were logical and calm and helped me through it. lol... but in order to get to the other side we had to walk through the herd only a few feet (if even) away and between them. Many that were lying down were also getting up. They sounded mad or protective. There was no turning back as we were almost to the exit. .... Finally made it to the exit but the gate was locked! ...we had to climb the fence! ... and yes there was a sign on this side saying "Do Not Enter , Cattle at Large, Area Closed"!
not sure why there was no sign on the side we entered, but I'm never entering again, sign or no sign! 💙 lol ...Cows are amazing!
my kids are trying to convince me this is a real memory. done in the bathroom....candles. i only remember contacting stephen tepper in the den. no one ever accuses kids of dementia.
Continuing my random oldie series with this twelve year old shot of a cow moose found in Rocky Mountain National Park.
It had been a long time since we had seen a moose in this area, then all of a sudden we saw three in the same day. This cow moose was in the trees at the top of the pass in Emigration Canyon, Idaho. She had a calf nearby, which made her dangerous. We stayed in the car when we took photos.
in the middle of nowhere runs also the national border between Germany and Austria from the left to the right some meters behind the cow at the Hirschguntalpe.

High on Ilkley Moor, the Cow and Calf Rocks are a large rock formation consisting of an outcrop and boulder, also known as Hangingstone Rocks. The rocks are made of millstone grit, a variety of sandstone, and are so named because one is large, with the smaller one sitting close to it, like a cow and calf.
We stayed in Ilkley with friends the other day and took a fine circular walk straight from their front door. It must be great to have such countryside literally right on your doorstep.
For those who don't know these rocks they make for a fine bouldering ground. They are popular with climbers and just like the other day there are always a good few lads and lasses testing themselves on the millstone grit.
A little experimentation with a Voigtländer Focussing Brilliant and some Focar close-up lenses. Not perfectly done, but quite pleasing, nonetheless.

Looking down on the town of Ilkley (Yorkshire) at dawn. 'Cow and Calf' is the local name for this rock formation made of millstone grit.
Continuing to recap our 2025 wildlife photo expeditions with this shot of a cow moose.
On this trip, we did a location double dip for moose. First location was Roosevelt National Forest in Colorado where I photographed the "faux fight" posted a couple of days ago. Second location was the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming where we found this lovely lady.
P.S. My Flickr people feed is messed up this morning. I can no longer see any photos by the folks I follow that were posted before midafternoon on Saturday.
