These two Belted Galloway bulls were trying to impress the heifers this morning. The heifers left the rivals to get on with it.
Corsewall Lighthouse.
A beautiful day on The Rhins of Galloway, close to the mouth of Loch Ryan - where ferries leave Scotland bound for Northern Ireland.
The Lighthouse is on the northernmost tip of the Peninsula and, here, across Southern Firth of Clyde, is The Kintyre Peninsula.
The lighthouse was built in 1814, and is now automated and, since 1994, it has also been a hotel.

I've decided to call him Wiggy but rather like his hair-do. 😊poor guy had about a dozen flies on his face feeling the heat that day too.
One of the earlier lighthouses to be built by Robert Stevenson and first lit in 1817.
When the lighthouse was automated in 1994 and the keepers houses were sold off and converted into a hotel.

Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin has many historical houses. This unique house has shingles, and several designed balconies. The house was said to have been built in 1809 and still stands for all to enjoy the fine architectural design

Een galloway is een hoornloos, meestal zwart behaard runderras dat oorspronkelijk uit Schotland komt. Galloways worden in natuurgebieden ingezet als grote grazers.
Ze hebben weinig zorg nodig en zijn niet agressief.
Ze zijn goed aangepast aan het leven buiten, koude winters zijn geen probleem voor ze. De dieren zijn hoofdzakelijk op zoek naar vers gras maar ook ruig plantenmateriaal zoals brandnetels en distels worden graag verteert. Ze hebben weinig zorg nodig en zijn niet agressief.

My second favourite cow. I am assumong that this is a Belted Gallowat, even though the white stripe was on only one side of it's body. I saw three in the same field, all with the same markings. So unusual. Taken on the way to Otterburn in Northumberland.
Oergrazers
1.000 hectare nieuwe natuur
In het gebied grazen konikpaarden en Galloway runderen. Natuurmonumenten zet de grazers in om het gebied open te houden. Dit om te voorkomen dat alles dichtgroeit met bos. Hoewel de grazers in de gaten worden gehouden, leven ze als zelfstandige sociale kuddes. Ze leven het hele jaar door buiten en kiezen zelf hun voedsel.
Grindwinning, vermindering van de wateroverlast en natuurontwikkeling gaan hand in hand in een grootschalig natuurproject tussen Roosteren en Maastricht. Dankzij de verbreding van de rivierbedding en verlaging van de oevers krijgt overtollig water de ruimte. Net als vroeger stroomt de Maas weer dynamisch door een aantrekkelijk oerlandschap.
Struinen door de grillige natuur.
Rondom de Molenplas bij Stevensweert loopt een mooie wandelroute van bijna 6 kilometer
In het gebied mag je buiten de paden zwerven. Houd tijdens het struinen wél voldoende afstand tot de konikpaarden en Galloway runderen die in het gebied grazen.

Designed by David A Stevenson and first lit in 1900.
On 26th February 1982, the container ship Craigantlet ran around just below the lighthouse. It was carrying hazardous chemicals and the lighthouse had to be evacuated for several weeks until the area was made safe.
The lighthouse was automated in 1988 and discontinued in 2007. It is now privately owned.
Milky Way shot at the cottage we stayed at in Galloway last September. For once a new moon coincided with clear skies!
Driving round a corner, I snapped a few times and managed this image. South West Scotland is a ruggedly beautiful place.
