Sheep at the Gate

It was quite warm in the sun on the day this photo
was made. The sheep are crowded together because it's
almost feeding time. The farmer will bring them their
grain and pellets, so they all want to be closest when
the food arrives. Unfortunately, they are also making
each other very hot---so hot that they are all panting.
They are in a very large pasture, but instead they are
in a big, uncomfortable bunch. That's sheep!

What a great image and very interesting too. I guess these sheep make a good metaphor for a lot of human behavior. Nice catch and story!
